#### AMC camera settings (tap slider icon below on-screen shutter button)

* Focus: Auto (infinity does work as well)
* Exposure Mode: Manual
* ISO: Auto
* Aperture: f/5 - f/11 depending on lighting conditions
* Shutter: 1/1000 or greater (can go as low as 1/500 but aircraft needs to slow down to prevent blur.
* Storage: USB Drive

{% hint style="info" %}
In low light conditions, adjust the shutter speed and aperture to avoid high ISO. Open the aperture first, then decrease the shutter speed if needed, and reduce flight speed if motion blur persists.\
\
Wider apertures than f/5 can be used, but the photos will lose sharpness, so be sure to test if the resulting images' quality will satisfy your mission's needs.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.camflite.com/flight-operations/mapping/pre-flight-planning/camera-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
