Practical guide
Plan a demonstration when the product is reflective
Reflective products need a rehearsal that checks both the surface detail and unwanted reflections entering the frame.
Reflective products need a rehearsal that checks both the surface detail and unwanted reflections entering the frame.
A practical procedure
-
Look for reflected lights, screens and people while rotating the product through the planned movements.
-
Adjust the camera or light angle without hiding the feature being demonstrated.
-
Record a slow movement and review whether labels and edges stay visible at the brightest moment.
Worked example: a fictional session
A fictional steel-bottle demo tilts the bottle slightly and moves the light so the printed capacity stays visible instead of flashing white.
Check the limits
Removing glare should not be used to conceal a visible defect or relevant surface mark.
