⚙️ Camera Settings for Pro 3D Product Scans
Getting your camera settings right is like giving our platform the perfect recipe for a stunning 3D product model. Clear, consistent footage is essential!
🤔 Why Consistent Camera Settings Matter
Our software carefully analyzes every frame of your video to build an accurate 3D model. If your footage is blurry, lighting changes, or focus shifts, it's like giving us a confusing puzzle. Consistent, high-quality input = professional 3D output.
Key Rule for E-commerce Quality!
Keep camera settings IDENTICAL throughout the entire video capture of a single product. If your camera or smartphone has a "Manual," "Pro," or "M" mode, use it! This stops auto-adjustments mid-shoot.
📸 Essential Camera Settings
Resolution (Image Detail)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | The amount of detail your camera captures |
| Do This | Use 4K resolution if possible. Otherwise, your highest available setting |
| Why | More detail = more realistic 3D products for your customers |
Frame Rate (FPS for Video)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | How many pictures (frames) your camera takes per second |
| Do This | 50 FPS is a great target. 25 FPS also works with very steady movement |
| Why | Provides plenty of data for smooth, detailed models |
Focus (Keeping Your Product Sharp!)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | Ensures your product is crisp and clear |
| Do This | Keep focus sharply on your product and don't change it |
| Why | Sharp products are a must for professional listings |
Exposure (Brightness & Clarity)
Goal: A well-lit product – no dark shadows or blown-out highlights. This is a balance of Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO.
Aperture (f-stop – Controls Light & Sharpness Zone)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | The lens opening size; affects how much of your product is in focus |
| Do This | f/8 to f/11 is often ideal to keep most of your product sharp |
| Why | Ensures all important product features are clear for customers |
Shutter Speed (Freezing Motion)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | How long the camera's shutter is open for each frame |
| Do This | Fast enough to prevent motion blur. For 50 FPS video, try 1/100s or faster |
| Why | Crisp, blur-free frames are vital for quality 3D models |
ISO (Light Sensitivity)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | Your camera's sensitivity to light |
| Do This | Keep ISO as low as possible (e.g., 100-400) |
| Why | Low ISO means less "image noise" (grain), ensuring clean product surfaces |
White Balance (WB - Accurate Product Colors)
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| What | Ensures product colors are true-to-life |
| Do This | Set manually to match your lighting (e.g., "Daylight," "Cloudy," or a custom setting) |
| Why | Crucial for customer satisfaction – 3D model colors must match the actual product |
