Lighting Set-Up

To obtain the best possible results from the SP350 system, it is

essential to set up studio lighting correctly. Using the lighting switch

(17) select the setting applicable to your studio set up. In set up, the

recommended minimum distance from subject to lens is 1.3m.

Strobe Lighting

When using strobe lighting, the ideal set up is with two lights positioned

as shown below. If you are using only one strobe light, it should be

positioned as close to the lens as possible (preferably directly above).

ensure strobe

lighting mode is

selected on the

printer front panel

Important: It is particularly important when using strobe lighting, to

ensure balanced lighting of the subject and the backdrop.If backdrop

lighting is used, it should be set to low power to avoid over-exposing.

Saturating the backdrop may cause an imbalance in the video

image. For optimum results with either flood or strobe lighting, a grey

backdrop is recommended.
