How to set the values ??when taking food photos with Olympus E-PL3 with 14-42mm lens

"The Soft Time of Digital Photography" published by China Youth Publishing House.

You can refer to it, I also used Auba’s machine to shoot still life.

There are food magazines on the market, buy one and read other people’s work.

Focal length 14-42 is the most suitable. This focal length has less deformation and is more regular. It is the focal length for photographing products.

The 14-42 lens has the highest magnification at 42mm, allowing you to take local close-ups.

If it's a big picture, it means bringing some scenery. This head can be used at any focal length.

Olympus uses M4/3 CMOS, and an aperture of F5.6-F8 is sufficient.

P file, AUTO, A file, S file mainly determine the speed and aperture.

Aperture determines depth of field, which is the range of clarity.

The mirrorless camera can display the exposure results in real time, and you can see the final photo on the LCD screen.

Study the instruction manual first, and then you can try it in M ??mode after you become proficient in the operation.

The aperture is fixed between F5.6--F8, and only the speed is adjusted.

Lower the speed and the photo will be brighter; increase the speed and the photo will be darker.

Food is usually photographed indoors.

You can buy a ready-made still life table or DIY it.

Buy some beautiful small tablecloths and colorful napkins. They don’t need to be big and come in a variety of colors to match the color of the food.

There are also some small decorations.

Just look at fashion magazines and you will understand.

The texture depends on the direction of the light.

In the future, if you have a deeper understanding of photography, you can add an Olympus 60mm macro or a Panasonic 45mm macro.

It is best to buy a tripod, a small one will do.

There is also a very short tabletop tripod that works great too.
