Looking at your setup, I am assuming you are going for a look where the product is well lit and the background gets completely blown out to pure white.

I am keeping the camera in this product photography setup at f/11 and 4 seconds at ISO 100. For all photos.

The variables are FL, camera height and distance and how I wave around a LED light.

I have eliminated other variables so I can put my focus on the light painting.

Can get a nice photo of just about anything that will fit into the box in 4 seconds.

Histograms won't help you if you're light painting.

The one technology that would be useful for light painting is something that I think is only available from Olympus/OM cameras. It is called "Live Composite Mode", and it will show you a continually updating live view as your light painting progresses.

I am shooting JPEG L size with a user defined Auto picture style with contrast and saturation bumped up 1.

The only PP is a quick crop and resize to 1600 x 1600 using Photoshop Elements 11.

Started out with grips on both sides and a viewfinder.

Since I found myself sometimes waving the light around behind the camera I ended up removing both grips and the viewfinder.

The camera is still in a cage though. Don't see any way out of that.

I do want the smallest camera for this.

And I for sure see a difference in downsized to 1600 x 1600 photos between the M100 and the M6II. Sold the M100. M6II is as small and cheap as I can go with my product photography assembly line ? $$$
