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.
