Best Camera Settings for Restaurant Food Photos (Simple Defaults)

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.
