Canon at the end of photo booth

I just bought a Mojo photo booth and I am very new to photography, so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions. I'm having a problem with some pics to come out too dark.

With the help of a green background on the stand (stand 5' x 5') sometimes the topic turns into a ghost and dark areas disappear in the background image. The problem is worse if the subject is wearing light/white or holding a large white prop (Santa beard, bubble of text, etc.).  I was told the problem was not enough light and that I should not use the Auto mode. I set the camera manual and used the suggested settings (F8, ISO 200, 1/160 ss). I don't have an external flash, just the flash that comes with the camera. If the subject is not white, the pictures come out fine - the canvas background Green is well lit and the décor digital image looks good - no ghost delivers. Using the same settings but changing a white shirt causes the wallpaper green to appear darker and the subject to look like a ghost. I changed the setting of the average E - TTL II meter and it solved the problem of the white shirt... until I added still more white on the frame, then the issue of Ghost is back.

I have this same problem using only does not the green screen. If the there are a lot of white in the cabin, or glasses reflecting large prop, the picture comes out very dark (even in Auto mode).

I went to a photo shop today and spoke to the owner. He said that if the device is in manual mode, then the setting of the meter should not affect the photo. He must only tell me if/how much my exhibition will be broken, he said. This isn't the case, though - looking at pictures side by side, it is clear that the white-shirt photos have a much darker green screen behind the subject. So, manual mode should replace the functionality of meter the camera store owner says? And if so, that means that there is something wrong with my camera? Or is it a setting I'm missing?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Bob. I found the setting on the camera, but it is grayed out and I can't access it. It seems that I have to use a wireless flash in order to activate this setting, but I have no other than the built-in external flash devices. I anticipate getting some kind of external flash over the weekend to see if I can solve my problem of ghost. Do you have recommendations for the genre should I get? What I have read, I need something that can be set to manual and I can control the flash output, i.e. full power, power 1/2, 1/4 power, etc. I only know more about it.

Canon's Speedlite flashes are very good, and of course they would communicate reliable with your camera. But they tend to be expensive; the top-of-the-line model costs more than $600. There are one or two Chinese companies that make lightning that are much cheaper, and some in this forum swear by them. But I have no experience with them and would not have dared try to recommend one for your application.

Skirball is our resident expert flash, but I have not seen something from her for a few days and suspect she may be away for the holidays. If you can wait until she gets back online, I'm sure it could give you some good advice. There are others who are also familiar.

Flash is a complex subject, and a beginner is likely to find he's going to be rough. But we have to start somewhere: the only way to get over this one is starting to gain experience.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

  • device of too dark photo booth

    Photo booth is too dark.

    Add a lot more light and try again.  If your images are still too dark in a very bright room, there is something wrong with your Mac.  Here are the things that users can do to solve a problem of camera:

    (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

    (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

    (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

    A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

    (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

    (4) If none of the suggestions above resolve your issue, contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired. Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

  • Move the folder of Photos on an external drive

    Hello my MacBook Air is near capacity. I'm going through iTunes and Photos on an external drive to free up disk space on the internal drive. I searched the threads and found the right solution for iTunes. I moved the entire iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, in the Advanced tab of iTunes preferences, I made the file to the new location on the external hard drive. That worked very well.

    Now, I'm ready to try the same process with my library of Photos (which also includes years of photos iPhoto migrated). Can I move the folder full of images (as I did with iTunes) or simply pictures library on external drive? My suspicion is the entire pictures folder, because it also contains the migrated iPhoto Pictures folders, Lightroom, Adobe and Photo Booth also. After searching for the discussions, it is not clear to me how to do it with pictures.

    Thank you

    Jon

    You can move either; Once completed, launch Photos with the key Option key, click library and choose the one on the external hard drive. ITunes library should be moved in the same way rather than change the setting in the preferences.

  • Not all the pictures uploaded Photos in iPhoto (cloud)

    Hello

    I have an iMac 2009 mid and iPhoto loaded with 77 GB of photos loaded in it.

    I followed the instructions for migrating my images to Photos in the cloud.

    Seemed to work very well.

    However-, it has not added dozens of my recent images that were in my library for more than a month.

    Have no idea how to start the process. I think - although I can't document without a shadow of a doubt - they were there for the initial migration.

    I realize that it takes day during the process works initially - but apparently it ended 3 weeks ago.

    I am convinced that the process has stopped.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    I realize that it takes day during the process works initially - but apparently it ended 3 weeks ago.

    What is the status of the upload, as evidenced by the Photos?

    Is there always a progress bar in the Photos > Preferences > Panel iCloud?

    Which is indicated at the bottom of the sight of Photos?

    It does not say "up-to-date" or or should I say download?

    FIR my library shows "updated just now", which indicates that all the photos have been uploaded.
