Tips on taking good photographs
By turning the swing axis camera, capturing the views in
demanding situations is easier. You can turn the camera
unit clockwise or counterclockwise. See “Camera mode‚"
p. 7.
Picture quality
Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has three
picture quality modes (
High 2M - Print , Med. 0.5M - Email ,
and Low 0.3M - MMS ). Use the High 2M - Print setting
to make sure that the camera produces the best picture
quality available. Note however, that better picture quality
requires more storage space. For MMS and e-mail
attachments it may be necessary to use the
Med. 0.5M -
Email or Low 0.3M - MMS setting. To define the quality in
the image mode in the camera, select Options > Settings .
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.
Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add depth to
your pictures by placing objects into the foreground.
Note however, that if the foreground object is too close
to camera, it may be blurred.
Lighting conditions
Changing the source, amount, and direction of light can
change photographs dramatically. Here are some typical
lighting conditions:
• Light source behind the subject. Avoid placing your
subject in front of a strong light source. If the light
source is behind the subject or visible in the display, the
resulting picture may have weak contrast, may be too
dark, and may contain unwanted light effects. You can
