Kodak C800 manual Using the Zoom Lens, Tips for better pictures

Tips for better pictures

•Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinderbut not closer than 2 ft (0.6 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.

•Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces

like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

•Turn on all room lights and have your subject look at the red-eye-reduction light to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.
