HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES

Night photography (night view portrait mode /)

Points:

i Avoid camera shake.

i Increase the ISO sensitivity.

NOTE

i Camera shutter speed during night photography is considerable slower, so there is a much greater chance that your photographed images will be blurry. Stabilize the camera when shooting.

i You can photograph your subject with the night scene in the background by using the flash. Be careful not to shoot too close to the subject, however, or your subject’s face will appear too bright.

i After the flash operates, keep the camera and the subjects motionless for about 2 seconds.

Photographing scenery (landscape mode +)

Points:

i Shoot using a high resolution.

i For zoom photography, use the optical zoom. i Pay attention to picture composition.

NOTE

i When shooting with a wide-angle setting, or if you intend to enlarge the photo, the higher the resolution, the better.

i To zoom in on distant scenery, it’s better to use the optical zoom. Using the digital zoom produces a coarser image. Hold the camera securely, keeping your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.

Taking care to stabilize the camera will increase the likelihood of getting a clear photo.

i Don’t forget to pay attention to picture composition; note perspective and be aware of how the placement of objects affects the scene.
