16 Guide to better pictures
Blurry picture | Cause |
• When subject is not cen- tered in the picture, the sound waves pass by the subject and measure the distance to the back- ground.This causes the subject to be unsharp because the lens focuses on the background.
Solution
•Center the subject in the picture. Or, if you want to keep your subject off cen- ter, frame your subject in the middle of the view- finder. Press and hold the shutter button halfway to lock in the correct lens set- ting.Then reframe your subject off center and press the shutter button the rest of the way.
•Object in foreground pre- vented sound waves from measuring correctly. Lens focuses on object, causing unclear and possibly dark subject.
•When picture is taken in low light (dusk, shade, etc.) shutter can stay open for as long as 2.8 seconds. Cam- era movement can cause the picture to be blurry.
•The sound waves travel to the central part of the scene. Be sure there are no objects in front of your subject.
•Hold the camera steady as you take the picture, or place the camera on a firm support.
