Tips on taking good photographs

unit clockwise or counterclockwise. See "Camera mode",
p. 12.
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
three picture quality modes (High 2M - Print, Med. 0.5M
- Email, and Low 0.3M - MMS). Use the High 2M - Print
setting to make sure that the camera produces the best
picture quality available. Note however, that better picture
quality requires more storage space. For MMS and e-mail
attachments it may be necessary to use the Med. 0.5M -
Email or Low 0.3M - MMS setting. To define the quality
in the image mode in the camera, select Options >
Settings.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other pictures
with people, avoid having your subject in front of a
cluttered, complex background that may distract attention
from the subject. Move the camera, or the subject, when
