Tips on Taking
Good Pictures
There are a few tips to note when taking a good picture.
❑
Bright lighting
Avoid taking pictures with bright light sources all around the object. These
lights will create “hotspots,” which will affect the quality of the picture.
❑
Bad lighting
When indoors or outdoors, be sure there is enough light falling onto the object.
Avoid taking pictures of objects in shadows, especially when the light source
(for example, sun or spotlight) is directly behind the object.
❑
Distance
This camera is focus free but be sure the minimum distance between camera
and object is not less than 80 cm (31 inches). Any closer, the close-up images
may appear blurry.
Fill the viewfinder with the object.
❑
Using Flash
When in a dimly lit environment, be sure that the distance between camera
and object is less than 2.5 meters (8 feet) but greater than 1.5 meters
(5 feet). However, objects in the background that are more than 2.5 meters
(8 feet) away from the camera may appear fuzzy. Objects that are less than
1.5 meters (5 feet) may appear overexposed.
❑
Moving objects
Fast-moving objects may appear blurry in your picture.
Unless a blurry or out-of-focus effect snapshot is intended, avoid taking fast-
moving objects.
❑
Camera shake
Shaking the camera while taking pictures may also result in a blurry picture.
So keep your hands steady at all times for sharp, clear pictures.
To avoid shaking the camera, gently squeeze the Snapshot button.
If necessary, use both hands to hold the camera while pressing the
Snapshot
button.
