Photography Tips for iPIX Images

iPIX® Photography with Nikon Digital Cameras

Use of Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in how your hemispheres look as a completed

iPIX image. Just like in traditional photography, you must be aware of

light sources. If you take a picture of a room facing the brightest light

source, a window for example, then that hemisphere will appear dark in

the area surrounding the window. The opposing hemisphere will have a

normal exposure. When you build the iPIX image using these two hemi-

spheres, the lighting will be unbalanced, with one half of the image dark,

and the other half light.

• If there is a primary light source, place it on the seam. This will bal-

ance the light between the hemispheres and keep overexposure to a

minimum.

• Always use the Exposure Lock setting to capture equal lighting

between hemisphere pictures.

• To even out the lighting on sunny days, blinds or curtains should be

closed and all room lights turned on.

• Do not turn on the flash function.

iPIX photography never involves the use of your camera’s flash. Using the

flash can cause uneven image exposure between hemispheres. Even if

the room is darkened, you will have more consistent results if you do not

use the flash.
