Tips on taking good photographs
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has
several picture quality modes. Use the highest setting
to make sure that the camera produces the best picture
quality available. Note however, that better picture
quality requires more storage space. For multimedia
message (MMS) and e-mail attachments it may be
necessary to use the smallest picture quality mode
optimized for MMS sending. You can define the quality
in the camera settings.
See "Still image camera
settings," p. 40.
Background
Use a simple background. For portraits and other
pictures with people, avoid having your subject in front
of a cluttered, complex background that may distract
attention from the subject. Move the camera, or the
subject, when these conditions cannot be met. Move
the camera closer to the object to take clearer portraits.
