Tips for better pictures
•Hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button to avoid blurry pictures.
•Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 3.3 ft (1.0 m).
•Take pictures at the subject’s level. Kneel down to take pictures of children and pets.
•Keep the sun behind you to provide the best subject illumination.
•Hold your camera vertically with the flash positioned upward to capture tall, narrow subjects, such as a waterfall, skyscraper, or a person.
•Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of a fence.
•Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection
and bright spots in your pictures.
•Turn on all the room lights and have your subject look at the lights to reduce red eyes in flash pictures.
