Tips For Making
Great Photos
Natural light
Lightisyourbestfriendwhenitcomesto
instantphotograph,sowerecommendto
alwaysusetheash.However,onasunnyday
outdoors,youdon’tneedtouseyourashat
all.Makesurenottoshoottowardsthesun,
shootwiththesunbehindyouinstead,facing
yoursubjectdirectlyorside-on,togiveyou
abrightandclearpicturewithoutshadowon
yoursubject.Forthebestresultswithoutthe
ash,themostimportantthingtoremember
istokeepyourcameraassteadyaspossible.
Forexample,byholdingyourcamerawithboth
handsandputtingyourelbowsonatable.
Framing
Beawarethatyourphotowillnotexactly
reectwhatyouseethroughtheviewnder.For
subjectscloserthan1.2m(3.93ft)youshould
adjustyouraimslightlyupandtotheleft.
Composition
It’spossibletochangethephotocomposition
afterfocusingonyoursubject.Theshutter
buttonhastwopositions.Firsthalf-pressthe
shutterbutton,thenchangethecomposition
andfullypresstotakethephoto.
