Here are some tips for taking good pictures
with the built-in camera:
Clean the camera's lens with a soft,
•
lint-free cloth.
Take pictures in bright lighting
•
conditions. Low-light images may be
grainy, due to the sensitivity of the

camera.

Hold the camera as still as possible. Try
•
supporting your picture-taking arm
against your body or a stationary object
(such as a wall).
Keep the subject of the pictures still.
•
Exposure time is longer with lower light
levels, so you may see a blur.
For best results, verify that you have the
•
brightest light source coming from
behind you, lighting the subject's face.
Avoid taking indoor pictures with the
subject in front of a window or light.
Make sure the subject is at least 18
•
inches (0.5 meters) away from the
camera to ensure good focus.
