Tips for Better Pictures
•Hold the camera steady when taking pictures
•Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2 ft (0.60 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 single person.
•Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, window, or even the rails of a fence.
•Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination.
