Camera tips and tricks

Rule of thirds

Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you will achieve a better result.

Hold it steady

Avoid blurry pictures by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it against a solid object.

Get closer

By getting as close as possible to your subject you won’t have to rely on the zoom. Try to fill your viewfinder with your subject.

Stay within the flash range

Pictures taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range is about four steps away.

Consider variety

Think different angles, move towards the object. Take some vertical pictures. Try different positions.

Use a plain background

A plain background will help to highlight your subject.

Keep your lens clean

Phones are used in all manner of weather and places and carried in pockets and bags. This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft cloth to clean the lens.
