Camera tips and tricks
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle
of the frame. By placing it a third of the
way in, you will achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry pictures by holding the
camera steady. Try to steady your hand
by leaning it against a solid object.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your
subject you won’t have to rely on the
zoom. Try to fill your viewfinder with
your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Pictures taken beyond the maximum
flash range will be too dark. The
maximum flash range is about four
steps away.
Consider variety
Think different angles, move towards
the object. Take some vertical pictures.
Try different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background will help to
highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Phones are used in all manner of
weather and places and carried in
pockets and bags. This results in the
camera lens becoming dirty and
covered with fingerprints. Use a soft
cloth to clean the lens.
