What Are DSLR Event Camera Settings?

DSLR Event Camera Settings in the Fiesta iOS App

DSLR Event Camera Settings allow you to fine-tune how captures look when running a DSLR Event using the Fiesta iOS App.

DSLR Event Camera Settings are organized into three sections:

Camera Defaults:

  • Adjust Aspect Ratio and Mirroring for DSLR Event captures

Photo Settings:

  • Adjust the capture settings used for Photo and GIF Capture Modes

Video Settings:

  • Adjust the capture settings used for Boomerang, Video, and Slo-Mo Capture Modes

Notes:

  • Fiesta’s camera settings are separate from the settings configured directly on the Canon DSLR camera. If captures appear zoomed in or out of focus, confirm the physical camera and lens settings before making adjustments in Fiesta.
  • The default Photo and Video settings provide the best results in most situations when the flash and umbrella are set up correctly.
