Hi all,
Can anyone recommend the best Physical camera aperture/exposure settings for an interior/studio set-up please?

Straight tout of the box the settings are –

Film speed (ISO): 100.0
F-Number: 8.0
Shutter speed (s-1): 200.0
Shutter angle (deg): 18.0 (greyed out)
Shutter offset (deg): 0.0 (greyed out)
Latency (s): 0.0 (greyed out)

Exposure: ✓
Vignetting: X
White balance: D65
Custom balance: 255
Temprature (K): 6500.0 (greyed out)

Thanks in advance for any input.

Tough question because each one is unique. Think of actually using a DSL. DOF or Motion blur are both factors, too.

Auto-expose (see the render settings), transfer to camera, adjust as you please (by raising or lowering ISOs while IPR is going).

Personally I never touch the camera settings, unless it’s for motion blur or depth of field.

I prefer to adjust the lighting.

Doing this means my assets / lights / scenes can be re-used on a global level.
