Studio photography is both easy and hard field because you can have everything exactly what you want. Everything is under your control. However the key thing that make you get wonderful results is that you should know some tuts to use your point and shoot camera in studio. Let's follow these five tips you are going to be amazed at the results you havest!

1. Keep the camera on the highest resolution setting. You can always decrease resolution later in Adobe Photoshop, but you cannot increase it after the fact.

2. Most cameras record the image as a JPEG file. JPEG compression is controlled by a setting called Image Quality. To get the best resolution image with the least compression select Fine versus Normal or Basic. To alleviate any loss of information due to compression when opening a JPEG file, save the file as a TIFF the first time you open it.

3. Make sure that your camera has an Aperture Priority Setting, usually labeled A on your camera dial. Set the camera on A and you will be able to adjust the f-stop, thereby increasing the depth of field in your image. Set the f-stop to the highest number allowable (preferably a larger number than f5.6.) Do not use the camera on auto or program settings! A digital "point and shoot" camera in auto or program mode will automatically set the f-stop to the least depth of field, causing your images to have very little area that is in sharp focus.

4. Set the camera's White Balance to Incandescent (usually a symbol that looks like an ordinary household light bulb with dashes coming off of it). Make sure that the overhead fluorescent lights are turned off and only the incandescent studio lights are turned on.

5. Turn off the flash. This is done by selecting the symbol that looks like a
lightning bolt with a "not" symbol over it.
