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 it fills the viewfinder but not
closer than 1.5 ft (0.5 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.

Flash off

When you do not want to use the
flash, especially indoors where flash is
prohibited or when you want to take
twilight scenes, distant subjects that
are beyond the flash range, or to
capture the ambiance of existing light,
use the flash-off feature. Attach a
tripod to the camera

exposure possible for taking
pictures without flash.

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.

Nightview with flash

In this mode, the camera balances the
flash and existing-light exposure so
that you can take beautiful pictures of
people at sunset or at night. Use a
