At the two best quality levels, the rendered image depends on the location
and the power of lights. By default, the image is computed at midday
with additional lights automatically placed at the ceiling of each room.
If you want to control better the light sources in your home, possibly
uncheck the Add ceiling lights check box, add some objects of the
Lights category in the plan and adjust their power either with
their power indicator or by editing
their attributes. The power of the sun, the color and the direction
of its rays depend on the hour of the day and the selected date, but
also on the North direction, the geographic location and the time zone,
the latter parameters being managed by the compass
pane. The global brightness of the image depends also on the level of
the light brightness set in the 3D view
modification pane.
Finally, the Create photo pane lets you choose also among the
4 different following types of lens.

Depth of field lens |

Fisheye lens |
Spherical lens |
If you want to compute a group of photos in the same batch, store the points of view you're interested in with the 3D view > Store point
of view... menu item then select the 3D view > Create photos at points of view... menu item. It will display a dialog box that will let you choose the size, the image quality and the file format of the computed images, before computing and saving them in the folder of your choice. At the two best quality levels, the date/time and lens used for a given rendered point of view will be the last values you entered in the Create photo pane at the moment you stored or modified that point of view. If you never opened the Create photo pane or changed the date/time in that panel, the date/time will be midday on the day when the edited home was created.
