Photo Id Camera

Camera: Canon SD 1000
Because of my job I have to take pictures of photo ID's (Drivers licenses, State ID cards, school ID cards etc.) to keep on file. Does anyone know what settings will be best on this camera. 9 times out of 10 the pictures are taken indoors.

as your are copying a flat surface a small apeture can be used, so F4 or so and turn the flash off

edit in your experience/knowledge and i will come back and give more info if you like?

easy way is set up a tripod, stick the objct to the wall, double sided tape will do it, once you do it once perfect note the settings and repeat them as needed

This tutorial shows how to setup the camera for the Polaroid Entry Edition Photo ID System.

When i was searching for a new computer i saw this feature on some laptops. When you open the lid the webcam activates and will photo id you essentially. Is this something that is available on DV6-1030US? If so, how do i use it?

This site will tell you what it comes with

It is true that all of them can. You have to know the requirements for each specific ID that you are planning to use. You have to do some cropping and/or resizing work in Photoshop or a similar program.

Yes I know the camera has NOTHING to do with great image making!

So what cam could be used to make that shot?

Shot "on" iso100, not "at" iso100:

So whats the shutter speed?

Whats the apepture?

Do you like it?
Thanks Jez, not a rebel....ah the camera costs about 20% the cost of a rebel
ok Dr and Terisu you are getting there, apepture yes your close, shutter speed your not close

Yes Dr the tilt/perpective is suspect, but i always try for difference, personally i cant stand "straight" images

\a
Evan I missed you too......

You have nailed it buddy, will see what else pops up eh
Skin your answer might impress someone, ah but at 1/30th the image would just be black.....

didnt you notice the others are answering many seconds and you are answering 1/30th? your between 6-10 stops off!!

wont give the exact number yet, cause that will spoil it for those that know what they are talking about

Curses, no EXIF! ;)

Good to see you back Antoni: hadn't seen you in a while.

The shutter is pretty slow: maybe into multi-second

The aperture is reasonably small: probably f/8 or smaller.

Its tough to tell from the low-res file.

Its a nice shot. Love the starburst highlights from the streetlights.
