Hi Tirrell,
The settings you use will depend on a lot of things. Can you be a little more detailed about what you are shooting? Do you mean 32x40 inches? Also, where will you be shooting it- are you indoors, outdoors, etc? And finally, do you have a camera already and if so, which one is it?

I am taking detailed pics of artwork 32x40 inches. I don't know what would be best indoor or out. I apparently have a camera. (Fuji S5200 zoom). The artwork consist of portraits mostly and collages of people.

Tirrell:

I also take photos of my art. I have found the best solution for me is to go on the front porch (which has a concrete floor) and lay the art on the concrete. The daylight pours all over the art, and I just stand above, and snap. I just let the camera do it's job on automatic (I keep the flash turned off)

I agree with Richio here- your best bet will definitely be outdoor lighting so that you do not have to use the flash, as the flash will probably cause discoloration (and might even reflect off the surface of the art if it is glossy). So shoot outdoors in sunshine, and set the camera to Auto if you're not sure exactly what else to do. It will handle the lighting exposure etc. for you. If you decide to zoom in for closer details, experiment with the camera's Macro mode, which will help get nice detailed close-ups. Good luck.
