Tips for Taking Better Pictures
Camera technology is not solely responsible for producing good shots. Here
you can find some tips for taking better pictures.
Subject
The subject is the main item of the picture, therefore you should pay special
attention to the subject. However, the subject doesn't always need to be
spectacular – trivial scenes may also make a great subject and thus a great
picture.
Background
The background shouldn’t distract from the subject. Make sure that no
interfering objects are located in the background.
Camera Angle
Experiment with the angle. Change your position relative to the subject and
try both a wide-angle or a telephoto setting.
Golden Section
The camera allows you to display a grid while in Record mode (see page 21
- Changing the Displayed Information). Place important subject parts onto
the grid lines or on their intersections (e.g. the horizon).
Lighting
Lighting conditions reflect the atmosphere of a scene. Therefore try to avoid
using the flash when you are attempting to take pictures under candlelight.
When disabling the flash, the camera will automatically use a longer
exposure time. In this case, place the camera on a stable surface or use a
tripod.
