A method of electronically controlling a light beam distribution of a solid-state luminaire, the method comprising: capturing, by an image capture device, an image of a target space to be lighted by the solid-state luminaire; providing on a photographical user interface, displayed on a computing device, a photographical canvas comprising the image of the target space captured by the image capture device, wherein the computing device is configured to be communicatively coupled with the solid-state luminaire; presenting a field of selectable control features on the photographical user interface wherein at least one of the field of selectable control features is the photographical canvas the photographical canvas including a plurality of selectable zones, each of the selectable zones corresponding to a respective region of the target space; adjusting the light beam distribution of the solid-state luminaire based on a selection of one of the plurality of selectable zones to illuminate the region corresponding to the selected zone; the method being characterized in that the computing device includes an auto-orientation mode for the photographical user interface and in that the method further comprises: determining, by a position sensor on the computing device, a geomagnetic north orientation of the computing device; wherein, when the auto-orientation mode of the photographical user interface is enabled, the position sensor latches the image of the photographical canvas in the direction of the actual space, such that when the orientation of the computing device is changed, the orientation of the image of the photographical canvas changes accordingly to ensure that north in the image continues to point in the geomagnetic north orientation. capturing, by an image capture device, an image of a target space to be lighted by the solid-state luminaire; providing on a photographical user interface, displayed on a computing device, a photographical canvas comprising the image of the target space captured by the image capture device, wherein the computing device is configured to be communicatively coupled with the solid-state luminaire; presenting a field of selectable control features on the photographical user interface wherein at least one of the field of selectable control features is the photographical canvas the photographical canvas including a plurality of selectable zones, each of the selectable zones corresponding to a respective region of the target space; adjusting the light beam distribution of the solid-state luminaire based on a selection of one of the plurality of selectable zones to illuminate the region corresponding to the selected zone; the method being characterized in that the computing device includes an auto-orientation mode for the photographical user interface and in that the method further comprises: determining, by a position sensor on the computing device, a geomagnetic north orientation of the computing device; wherein, when the auto-orientation mode of the photographical user interface is enabled, the position sensor latches the image of the photographical canvas in the direction of the actual space, such that when the orientation of the computing device is changed, the orientation of the image of the photographical canvas changes accordingly to ensure that north in the image continues to point in the geomagnetic north orientation. determining, by a position sensor on the computing device, a geomagnetic north orientation of the computing device; wherein, when the auto-orientation mode of the photographical user interface is enabled, the position sensor latches the image of the photographical canvas in the direction of the actual space, such that when the orientation of the computing device is changed, the orientation of the image of the photographical canvas changes accordingly to ensure that north in the image continues to point in the geomagnetic north orientation.
