There is a difference between Digital and Optical zoom. Optical zoom gets you better pictures. Have fun exploring your camera and you’ll get it eventually.
Just let loose and don’t worry about rules. Take pictures of everything! You’ll start to learn things thru your creativity
Use a tripod whenever you can.
well i think the best way to learn is practicing so go practice.
i can tell you some stuff like when you have a withe background you shouldn’t use the auto mode or else the camera will take the pic as it was clear but not all ways is going to be clear like if you are under a tree.
another think i know is that pictures are obviously faster when you use the flash so when you are taking photographs moving or in sports use the Flash anytime else you don’t need it just don’t use it you want to save as many batteries as possible.
anything else you’ll figure it out
Well, here is a tip my friend gave me: “Sometimes it’s best if you turn the flash off depending on the natural lighting of a room and or outdoor area. Some pictures can look good with the flash, yes, but some can look really bad. It discolors the persons face or just plain ol’ discolors everything and doesn’t even look that good. I’ve seen so many people make this mistake and still think the picture is good, but that is their opinion. So just try turning the flash off when the lighting outside is good. (Some cameras turn off automatically (the flash)) (Sometimes (if you’re say on a bus) it’s hard to tell whether or not the lighting will be good but you’ll just have to take a chance and take a few ‘test’ pictures before -hand so when the time comes the pictures are perfect!)
Take your camera off auto mode and experiment with the different settings. As far as taking photos, here are a few basic tips to keep in mind:
1. Frame your shot with 3 elements or less. A person standing next to a tree with the sky as a background is an example of three elements. Anything more gets too cluttered (as a beginner).
2. Mid-day is the worst light for shooting photos. Early morning or late afternoon is much better if you plan to utilize outdoor light.
3. If you’re struggling with coming up with ideas on what to photograph, sometimes it helps to go to one of your favorite locations or a place where you’ve wanted to shoot, and just sort of hang out there until the image/moment you want enters your frame. Don’t be afraid to approach someone and ask permission to take their photograph if they are doing something cool.
4. Experiment with adjusting the color, saturation, tint and exposure of your photo using basic photo software on your computer.
Good luck!
