Tips for Taking Great Pictures
• Keep the sun behind you or at your side. Avoid having the sun directly overhead.
• Use the fill flash setting if there is a light behind your subject.
• In low light level conditions, use a tripod to avoid camera movement during
exposure.
• Avoid extreme temperatures (below 13°C (55°F) or above 35°C (95°F)), which can
affect battery performance.
• Keep the subject within the flash range (18 in. to 10 ft. (0.45m to 3m)).
• Avoid shooting toward reflective objects to avoid hot spots in your pictures. You can
use the fill flash setting if you cannot avoid shooting toward reflective objects.
•• Periodically clean the lens, the LED area on the front of the camera, and the LCD
display on the back of the camera with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning
solutions or chemically-treated tissues.
