Hints On Taking Quality Photos
• If you want to take a photo of your friend, try to take at least half the body size. You will not
get her eyes clearly if you take the whole body.
• Take care of the background light intensity. It will affect the exposure of the main object. The
camera can calculate the total light intensity of the picture to fine adjust the exposure. If the
background is too dark, the object will be too bright. If the background is too bright, the object
will then be too dark.
• Even you take photos outdoor, you should not let the object under the shadow. The object is
not shined by the sun means for staying in the dark. The result is unclear object and bright
background.
• Hold the camera with both hands. Use the first finger of your right hand to press the shutter.
Do not stand on unstable position. Any movement on the camera will cause fuzzy photos.
• Do not cover the lens with your fingers. It will obstruct the object. If greasy is attached on the
lens, clean it with a dry and soft cloth.
• It will affect the color if the light source is the fluorescent lamp or light bulb. Green color will
be increased under fluorescent lamps. Yellow color will be more under light bulbs. You can
recover the original color by using the photo editing software.
• It is better to use the USB port for upload. The power is supplied by the USB port so the battery
power can be saved.
• Keep the view finder horizontal to get correct view of image. Try to kneel down if possible.
