#Slr final print manual#

The camera settings will vary depending on where you set up your photo booth, but I will recommend putting the camera in manual mode and using a high aperture (I used f/6.3) and a shutter speed above 1/60th sec (I used 1/125 sec).

Everything from ISO to shutter speed can be changed. To do so, go to the “View” menu and deselect “Show focus points.”Ĭlick the Print setup button to configure your printerįor the camera itself, you can adjust the settings within the software. For some reason, they show in the preview after the photo is taken. Turn off the “Show focus points” setting. There are a few settings in DigiCamControl to be aware of, which I’ll outline below: Once in DigiCamControl, you should see your camera listed in the bottom right and left in the software (shown below, highlighted by red rectangles): Once you have that in hand, plug one end into the camera and the other into your computer, then launch DigiCamControl. On the Canon 50D, the USB cable is a Type B Mini. Your camera probably came with one, but if not, you’ll need to figure out which type you need. You’ll also need a USB cable to connect the camera to the computer. I recommend shooting in landscape mode in case a large group of people want to use the booth. Once your tripod is in hand, attach your camera to it. Nothing spectacular is needed, just something to hold the camera in place in the photo booth.

Once downloaded, go ahead and install the software.

Full list of supported cameras can be seen here. In my case, I used a piece of open source software called DigiCamControl, which works with numerous cameras (totally free to download). Lightroom can do it, and I know that Nikon, Sony and Canon all have free utilities available that allow you to connect and control your camera from a computer. The table also held props and the laptop that the camera was connected to. I placed the monitor on a table ( this one would be fine) and faced the monitor so people could see the photos seconds after they took them.

Shown below are the settings in Windows 10 (to open the settings, right click your desktop and choose “display settings”). Once you have an external monitor plugged in, tell Windows to extend your desktop to it (don’t clone your desktops). If you want people to instantly see their photos without having to print them, you’ll need an external monitor. Next you’ll need a computer that you can connect your camera to via USB. I also used an inexpensive Canon 40mm pancake lens. I’m using an older camera just to show that you don’t need the latest and greatest in order for this to work. So my next oldest camera that does work is a Canon 50D. I tried going as far back as a Canon 10D, but no dice. The first thing you’ll need is (obviously) a camera that can be tethered to a computer. People had the instant gratification of seeing their photos on a screen and it was a huge hit. I didn’t set up a printer, but you still can (I explain how below). People would walk in the room, push the button on the remote trigger (which was attached to a door using velcro), wait two seconds (the camera was on a 2 second self-timer), the camera would take the shot and the photo would be instantly displayed on a monitor connected to the laptop that the camera was tethered to. The way this worked after everything was set up was pretty simple.

This was a somewhat last minute request and I needed to use equipment that I had on-hand. I was recently asked to put together a photo booth for an event at work.
