# Can I use a Camera With Greater Than 16 MP?

## Using a camera with higher than 16 MP adds more safety margin to how much you have to zoom in on the light panel before taking the picture.

#### Yes.

Using a camera with higher than 16 MP adds more safety margin to how much you have to zoom in on the light panel before taking the picture. 

#### However.

 It is not recommended to use a camera other than those supplied by OSAAP.  We have had trouble with cameras that auto focus and change the exposure time based on the lighting in the photo.
