Tips for Better Pictures
• Hold the camera steady when taking pictures.
• Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it
fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2
1
/2 ft (0.8 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 or skyscraper.
• Take vertical pictures of a single person at 5 ft (1.5 m) and beyond.
• Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, window, or
even the rails of a fence.
• Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination.
