Digital booths
Limit digiCamControl motion detection to a chosen area
Ignore queue movement outside the frame before using motion-triggered capture.
A booth near a corridor may detect people passing behind or beside the portrait position. digiCamControl lets you define an active area in live view and can use a ruler area for motion detection; test carefully before leaving a camera unattended.
Mark the portrait zone
Open Live View, choose Show active area, and use Set to define a region where a guest’s movement should count. Keep the region inside the booth frame, excluding the queue and doorway if they appear in the preview.

Choose trigger behavior
If enabling motion detection, review its threshold and whether capture on detected movement is turned on. The manual warns that auto-focus before capture can make the process much slower; for repeatable booth framing, test whether pre-focus is suitable before turning it on.

Run a no-guest test
Have someone walk through the excluded corridor and then enter the marked zone. Confirm only the intended movement can trigger a test capture and that lighting changes do not cause false triggers. If the area cannot be made reliable, use a human-operated shutter trigger instead.
