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 ft (0.60 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,
skyscraper, or single person.
• 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.
