[QUOTE="Greg Young, post: 85009, member: 747"] The problem with relying on even the initial set of an autofocus lock that the autofocus can have a difficult time getting a clear lock due to the contrasts between bright lighting and the dark background. In addition to manual focus, and manual exposure (aperture) control mentioned above, you should also look for a camera that will allow you to manually set the white balance as well. Given the widespread use of LEDs (RGB and otherwise), you can't rely on the few settings many cameras are limited to (i.e. incandescent, fluorescent, shade, full sun, etc). The best way it to balance with a neutral gray card using the light emitted by the display you are filming/photographing. I always carry a small one with me when using the camera. Greg [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
