Tips for better pictures
• Move close enough to your subject so
it fills the viewfinder but not closer than
2 ft (0.6 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.
