Tips for better pictures
To avoid blurry pictures, hold your
•
camera steady by keeping your
elbows close to your body when
you press the shutter button.
Stand close enough to your
•
subject so that it fills the viewfinder
but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 m).
Take pictures at the subject's level.
•
Kneel down to take pictures of
children and pets.
Hold your camera vertically to
•
capture tall, narrow subjects, such
as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a
single person.
Add interest to your picture by
•
framing it with a tree branch, a
window, or even the rails of
a fence.
Keep the sun behind you. This
•
provides the best subject
illumination.
Keep your hand, fingers, or objects
•
away from the flash and picture-
taking lens.
Stand at an angle to shiny
•
surfaces like windows or mirrors to
avoid flash reflection and bright
spots in your pictures.
