Tips on using the camera

Rule of thirds

Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you achieve a better result.

Hold it steady

Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it against a solid object.

Get closer

By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can fill the camera screen view with your subject.

Consider variety

Think about different angles, and move towards the subject. Take some vertical photos. Try different positions.

Use a plain background

A plain background helps highlight your subject.
