Jim is correct. Without being there to see the studio and lighting, it is almost impossible to guess the camera settings. Shooting all manual with raw images is the best way to go, BUT….you need experience to have an idea as to where to start with settings.

You want to use the lowest ISO you can, BUT that will be dependent on the available light and your camera. As far as the aperture…that will be dependent on the DOF you need and (again) the lighting.

Most experienced photographers can walk into a session, look around and have an idea of what ISO/aperture/shutter speed they will need and then adjust appropriately.

I always stress that people get a camera they can use instinctively for a reason. I did a shoot last week and was told “this is the lighting you will have”, so I set up for that. Unfortunately, what the director said and what the lighting director gave me when everyone was in place was two different things. It took about 10 seconds to readjust and meter it, and life was good again.
