Tips for Better Pictures � Hold the camera steady when taking pictures � Keep your pictures simple. Move close enough to your subject so it fills the viewfinder but not closer than 2 ft (0.60 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 single person. � Add interest to your picture by framing it with a tree branch, window, or even the rails of a fence. � Keep the sun behind you for best subject illumination.
