16 Guide to better pictures
Blurry picture Cause
When subject is not cen-
tered in the picture, the
sound waves pass by the
subject and measure the
distance to the back-
ground. This causes the
subject to be unsharp
because the lens focuses
on the background.
Object in foreground pre-
vented sound waves from
measuring correctly. Lens
focuses on object, causing
unclear and possibly dark
subject.
When picture is taken in
low light (dusk, shade, etc.)
shutter can stay open for as
long as 2.8 seconds. Cam-
era movement can cause
the picture to be blurry.
Solution
Center the subject in the
picture. Or, if you want to
keep your subject off cen-
ter, frame your subject in
the middle of the view-
finder. Press and hold the
shutter button halfway to
lock in the correct lens set-
ting. Then reframe your
subject off center and press
the shutter button the rest
of the way.
The sound waves travel to
the central part of the
scene. Be sure there are no
objects in front of your
subject.
Hold the camera steady as
you take the picture, or
place the camera on a firm
support.
