    Has anyone used their 400D to take passport photos?

    What settings did you use? Were they acceptable?

    I've done it and it works
    I've always printed all my family's passport sized pictures for cents
    mind you, for the Irish passports there are strict rules about shaddows

    Don't know if there's a special setting on the 400D for passport photo's ?, I used my D70s to take some passport photo's, sized them in PS and printed them in B&W the passport was issued so i guess they were fine.

    Yes. I remember reading that there should be NO shadows.
    I suppose using the flash would eliminate that.

    The 400D bit is nothing - you could use any camera for a passport photo - the camera is not the issue.
    The main concern would be your pose, posture and expression, and how you print it.
    My last passport photos - for my driving license - I took with my own camera, photoshopped to make my face stand out, and printed with my home printer to the exact resize required by law.

    Was looking at the guidelines yesterday, and you'd almost have to shoot and print your own photos, things having to be so exactly lined up. :eek:

    I agree that the camera doesn't matter to an extent.

    I also took photos a couple of years ago using a pretty standard digital JVC and printed the photo's off in high quality. I thought they were fine.

    Had a phone call from them saying that they had new equipment that would read a lot of digital camera photos and you should get it done at a photographers or one of the special photo booths. :mad:
    They sent them back and we got them done in a chemist.

    FFS What's the point to buying machines that don't read a lot of digital camera photo's. :mad:

    They are quite particular now. Passport Photo's

    I guess I'll try the highest settings when photographing and printing and see what happens.
