Arrange groups carefully
Ail the people in a group should be
about the same distance from the
camera. Then everyone will be lit
evenly by the flash.
To avoid a flash reflection
When shooting toward a reflective
object or background
(rnirror. win-
dow, eyeglasses, etc.), stand to
one side of your su bject and shoot
from an angle to avoid a flash
reflection
in the picture (see below).
However, when the reflective sur-
face is smooth and fiat and is the
central part of your main subject
(glass enclosed art, wall hanging,
etc.), shooting at an angle may
cause the sound waves to reflect
away from the camera. If this hap-
pens, the lens will be set incorrectly
and your picture may be unsharp.
To avoid this, you can set the lens
manually (see page 28)
