Four Common Mistakes in Dental PhotographySeptember 5, 2019 by AACD Executive OfficeIt's important to capture excellent clinical images for AACD Accreditation submissions. Photos that are poorly shot can negatively impact a case submission. Here are four common dental photography mistakes along with tips to help you capture better images for your clinical case submissions: 1. UNDESIRABLE EXPOSURE
Take test images using direct undiffused lighting with an aperture setting at f-32, ISO at 100, and the shutter speed set at 1/100. 2. INAPPROPRIATE ANGLE
3. IMPROPER FRAMING
4. INCORRECT MAGNIFICATION
Settings will vary with sensor and face size. Cameras with smaller sensors will require approximately a 1.5 times increase setting on the lens barrel, such as [1:10 (1:15), 1:2 (1.3), 1:1 (1:1.5)].
