Bookmarks Settings

Each bookmark stores a complete set of camera, exposure, and focus settings that can be instantly recalled. This page covers the settings available when editing a bookmark in the right sidebar.

Camera Position

Camera position determines the perspective from which your model is viewed. You can position the camera by navigating visually in the viewport (the numerical values update automatically in the right sidebar) or by entering precise values directly.

Orbit Around

Controls the horizontal rotation around the model (0–360°).

• 0° — Camera positioned to the right of the product

• 90° — Camera positioned at the back

• 180° — Camera positioned to the left

• 270° — Camera positioned at the front

Orbit Above

Controls the vertical angle of the camera (-90° to 90°). For most product photography, values between -15° and +30° provide natural viewing angles.

• 0° — Camera level with the product

• Positive values — Looking down at the product

• Negative values — Looking up at the product

Distance

Controls how close the camera is to the model. Smaller values move the camera closer; larger values move it further away.

Tip: If your view becomes blocked (camera behind a wall, under the model, or too far away), adjust the distance slider first, then change the orbit value. You can also click any existing bookmark to return to a known good position.

Focal Length and Focus

Glossi simulates real-world camera lens behavior, so these settings work the same way they would on a DSLR or smartphone camera.

Focal Length

Determines the field of view and perspective distortion (35mm to 200mm).

• Wide angle (35–50mm) — Captures more of the scene with more perspective distortion

• Standard (50–85mm) — Natural perspective similar to human vision

• Telephoto (85–200mm) — Compressed perspective with a flatter appearance

Focus Point

Focus controls determine which parts of your scene are sharp and which are blurred. This is effective for highlighting specific product features like logos, materials, or functional elements.

To set a focus point:

1. Set a low f-stop value (f/1.8 to f/4) to create visible depth of field.

2. Click "Select Focus Point" in the right sidebar.

3. Click directly on the part of your model you want in sharp focus.

4. Update your bookmark to save the focus point.

Exposure Controls

Exposure settings control the brightness of your image. Glossi offers both automatic and manual exposure modes.

Auto Exposure

Glossi automatically adjusts settings to create a properly exposed image based on your f-stop value. This is the default mode and the recommended starting point for most users.

Select "Auto" from the exposure mode dropdown in the right sidebar.

Manual Exposure

Manual mode gives you precise control over image brightness and depth of field. It exposes three camera settings:

F-stop (Aperture)

• Lower values (f/1.8–f/4) — Shallow depth of field (background blur), more light enters the camera

• Higher values (f/8–f/22) — Greater depth of field (more of the scene in focus), less light enters the camera

Shutter Speed

Controls exposure time and image brightness.

• Faster speeds — Darker images

• Slower speeds — Brighter images

Note: Unlike real cameras, Glossi's virtual shutter doesn't affect motion blur since the scene is static.

ISO

Controls sensor sensitivity to light. Keep ISO as low as possible for the cleanest images.

• Lower values (100–400) — Less sensitive, cleaner images

• Higher values (800+) — More sensitive, can introduce noise
