HINTS FOR TAKING PICTURES
Night photography (night view portrait mode /)
Points:
i Avoid camera shake.
i Increase the ISO sensitivity.
NOTE
i Camera shutter speed during night photography is considerable slower, so
there is a much greater chance that your photographed images will be
blurry. Stabilize the camera when shooting.
i You can photograph your subject with the night scene in the background by
using the flash. Be careful not to shoot too close to the subject, however, or
your subject's face will appear too bright.
i After the flash operates, keep the camera and the subjects motionless for
about 2 seconds.
Photographing scenery (landscape mode +)
Points:
i Shoot using a high resolution.
i For zoom photography, use the optical zoom.
i Pay attention to picture composition.
NOTE
i When shooting with a wide-angle setting, or if you intend to enlarge the
photo, the higher the resolution, the better.
i To zoom in on distant scenery, it's better to use the optical zoom. Using the
digital zoom produces a coarser image. Hold the camera securely, keeping
your elbows close to your body and making sure the camera is stable.
Taking care to stabilize the camera will increase the likelihood of getting a
clear photo.
i Don't forget to pay attention to picture composition; note perspective and
be aware of how the placement of objects affects the scene.
