Simple default camera settings for sharp, clean menu photos—without getting lost in technical details.
TL;DR
Keep ISO low (reduce noise). Use a fast shutter to avoid blur (especially handheld). Set white balance to match your light source.
Simple defaults
ISO: as low as possible. Shutter: fast enough to freeze hand shake. White balance: consistent (don’t mix lights).
The bigger truth
If the light is bad, settings won’t save you. Fix the light first.
