Taking Pictures With Compact Digital Camera

Compact digital camera was built to be small, lightweight and easy to carry. This can be the advantage for a point and shoot camera but it also can be a weakness that a lot of people dislike.

For some photography beginner, they tend to block the camera lens or flash with their finger. It is really disappointing to find out that one of your fingers has ruined a great picture.

What you can do is to really have a look at the front part of you camera (strangely enough, many people hardly look at the front part of their camera) to know where your flash and lens are located. Then, practice to hold the side of your camera firmly (always on your anti-camera shake feature if you have one). When you think you can hold your compact camera with your thumb and index finger, make sure that you lift the other 3 fingers so that they won't block the lens or flash.

Some photographers also recommended that you get a heavier compact digital camera so that you can create a more stable picture.

Have fun photographing,

Michael Wong. :-)
