◗
Try the spot metering setting. Be sure to center your
subject when locking the camera settings with the
two-step shutter.
◗
Be aware of lighting conditions and how they affect
the appearance of your subject. Early morning and
late afternoon provide flattering light for portraits.
◗
Try to get on the same level as your subject; shots are
more interesting if they are taken from the subject’s
perspective.
Action shots can be tricky. To get the best results:
◗
Use a fast shutter speed.
◗
Pick a good location where you can capture a shot at
any moment.
◗
In Program mode, try the
Sports
setting.
For all your pictures:
◗
Don’t forget about your optical zoom, black and
white, macro mode, and other specialized settings.
◗
Hold the camera still or use a tripod if you have one.
◗
Try HyPict mode or Uncompressed Tiff mode for
prints that will be enlarged.
◗
Don’t forget that if you don’t like the way a shot
comes out, you can erase it from your CompactFlash
memory card and take another one.
