Raymond-

I assumed you meant circuit diagrams that were drawn on the white
boards. If you mean circuit boards or electronic devices, then a
different approach may be needed.

I've tried several cameras, with and without flash, for photographing
circuit boards and other equipment. The best results were obtained with
an Olympus C-3040Z (3 Megapixel) camera with its companion FL-40 flash
unit.

The flash was used off-camera on the separate grip, connected to the
camera by a coiled cord. By holding the flash off to the side, results
were far superior to using the camera's built-in flash alone.

Whatever system you use, having a light source off to one side results
in a better 3-dimensional image.
