Camera Small setting. You can define the quality in 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 in the foreground. If the foreground object is too close to the 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. • Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too much contrast. • Light source in front of the subject. Harsh sunlight may cause the subjects to squint their eyes. The contrast may also be too high. • Optimal lighting is found in situations where there is plenty of diffused, soft light available, for example, on a bright, partially cloudy day or on a sunny day in the shadow of trees.

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

Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add depth to
your pictures by placing objects in the foreground. If the
foreground object is too close to the 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.
Sidelit subject.
Strong side light gives a dramatic
effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too much
contrast.
Light source in front of the subject.
Harsh sunlight
may cause the subjects to squint their eyes. The
contrast may also be too high.
Optimal lighting
is found in situations where there is
plenty of diffused, soft light available, for example, on
a bright, partially cloudy day or on a sunny day in the
shadow of trees.
