I’ve just been tasked with being the photographer for a family portrait that takes place in about 2 hours. Borrowed a Sony a6000 from someone who doesn’t know anything about photography either, so they were of no help besides providing the camera . Photoshoot is outside with about 25 people. Weather is sunny.
Seeing as I know nothing about photography, my plan was to set to some sort of auto mode and let the camera do what I don’t know how to.
Looking for any suggestions on camera settings to increase my odds of producing useable photos.
set it on auto everything and use a tripod. that camera should give you excellent exposure and focus on its own. pose the group in the shade, and take more than one photo.
edit: i’m late to the party. the dudes gave great advice.
