• Try to avoid any mixture of different lighting such half
sunlight and half-fluorescent light.
• Images of a computer screen may include lines and artifacts.

glasses, etc.).
Capturing Images Outdoors – General Tips • Try to capture images in an outdoor setting where there are
a lot of colors and patterns.
• It is better to have the subject facing the sunlight instead of
having their back to the sunlight.
• Try to position your subject close to the center of the image.
• Avoid taking an image where there is a shiny surface or
reflective area in the image (e.g. glass, metal).
• Avoid pointing the camera directly at a shiny surface.
• Do not capture images of high-contrast with both shaded
and sun lit areas together. While the camera does adjust for
this, it is unable to adjust for vast differences in lighting that
the human eye can handle.
