Tips for better pictures
•To avoid blurry pictures, hold your camera steady by keeping your elbows close to your body when you press the shutter button.
•Stand close enough to your subject so that it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 4 ft (1.2 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 a single person.
•Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, a window, or even the rails of
a fence.
•Keep the sun behind you. This provides the best subject illumination.
•Keep your hand, fingers, or objects away from the flash and picturetaking lens.
•Stand at an angle to shiny surfaces like windows or mirrors to avoid flash reflection and bright spots in your pictures.

Using fill flash and flash off
Fill flash — When bright light indoors or outdoors comes from behind the subject (backlighting), dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows.
