Tips for better pictures
Move close enough to your subject so
it fills the viewfinder but not closer
than 2 ft (0.6 m).
Take pictures at the subject’s level.
Kneel down to take pictures of children
and pets.
Hold your camera vertically to capture
tall, narrow subjects, such as
a waterfall, skyscraper, or a single person.
Add interest to your picture by framing
it with a tree branch, a window, or
even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you. This provides
the best subject illumination.
• Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces
like windows or mirrors to avoid flash
reflection and bright spots in your
pictures.
Turn on all room lights and have your
subject look at the red-eye-reduction
light to reduce red eyes in flash
pictures.
