Composition
Composition is how the subject is presented in the frame of the
photograph. While basically artistic, composition is important
because it affects the focus and exposure of the picture taken.

To avoid the frustration of realizing you have cropped out the
important details of a picture (Figure 1-19), do the following:
• Be certain that your main subject is in the center of the
viewfinder. There should be about 10% of white space around the
subject.
• Use the ROI square as a guide.
• If your ROI square falls on a bright spot or a dark spot, move
slightly to find a neutral zone.

CAUTION
Some cropping will occur on the sides of your final
image. Make sure that you capture your entire
subject, then take a step back.
