HOW TO TAKE A GOOD PHOTO

Are you ready to have fun taking photos? Here are some tips on how to get the best results from your new KidiZoom® Duo FX camera.
Step One
First, slide the wrist strap over your hand to help you hold your new camera properly.
Step Two
There are two ways to look at your subject before you take a photo. You can either use the colour LCD screen on the back of the camera, or look through the dual Viewfinders above the screen.
Note: What you see via the dual Viewfinders may not be exactly the same as the colour LCD screen and the final photo.
Step Three
Now you are ready to take some photos! Make sure you hold your camera as still as you can with both hands.
Step Four
Get close to the subject you are photographing. Be careful not to get so close that the subject appears blurry when you look at the LCD screen. This can take some extra practise, so don’t worry if you don’t get your photo right the first time.
Step Five
Your camera has an automatic flash that will provide additional light if your subject is in low light. If you are taking outdoor photos on a sunny day, stand with the sun behind you.
Step Six
Listen for the click your camera makes when you take a photo. After you hear the clicking sound, you can take another photo!
Have fun!
