Product project using EOS Utility

Discover the range of functions that assist photographers to capture consistent still-life shots

EOS Utility includes a wide range of capabilities that are helpful for still-life and product photography. In this specialized genre, consistent and accurate colour is a requirement at the capture stage which the EOS Utility software handles with ease. In some situations it is necessary for you to capture images that are not only well composed, but also consistent with other shots of similar items. Space for text or graphics might need to be accommodated at the taking stage which is achieved with the guides and overlays.

Product photography is a skilled and technical discipline where the alignment and position of the subject within the frame is vitally important. EOS cameras with Live View help photographers accurately previsualize the photo before it is captured. Shooting in Live View means that the computer screen becomes the viewing window for the shot, enabling a range of tools to assist in alignment, placement and colour consistency. A camera set to Auto White Balance will change colours from shot to shot if the subject changes colour. Using EOS Utility, the white balance can be measured and set in the camera for consistency.

To present a product in the best way, composition and alignment are key factors. EOS Utility has a grid overlay and movable guides for placement and alignment.
