Nikon D3500 Camera for Product Advertisements- Solid Camera with Beginner to Advanced Features
We received the package 2 weeks or so ago; the package was tightly packed- there was no damage to any of the items due to shipping. I primarily purchased this camera to do take pictures of models that I had commissioned painted with my Tru-Color paints. The setup of the camera needed to be a little more robust; but, once I figured out how to put on the "shorty" lens, taking pictures was, literally, a snap. There are several positions on the camera, from fully automatic (that is, I don't have to do anything except point-and-shot,) to fully manual (where I can't just point-and-shoot, I actually have to think about everything I am doing.)
The directions also helped me, albeit in a limited way, to understand lighting and what would (seem) to work 'better' for the types of models I am taking pictures of, to highlight my paints. Along with the 55 mm lens, there were telephoto and wide-angle lenses. After a bit of experimentation with these lenses, I did find which lens seemed to work 'best' with which model (color of the paints has a LOT to do with it.) Additionally, there were the UV lens set that came with the camera. I just experimented with these also.
While I have a lot to learn about taking good product-related pictures for my print advertising, this camera is quite easy to "play with," decreasing the learning curve I will undertake to get my paints "perfect."
