User's Guide

● Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic

effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too

much contrast.

● Light source in front of the subject. Harsh

sunlight may cause the subjects to squint their

eyes. The contrast may also be too high.

● Optimal lighting is found in situations where

there is plenty of diffused, soft light available, for

example, on a bright, partially cloudy day or on

a sunny day in the shadow of trees.
