Learn the basic actions, such as using the flash (on, off, and auto), zooming in and out, and using the shutter button. If you can find an online tutorial for your camera or a video, then this might be helpful as well. If you don't yet have a good camera, do research to ensure you buy one that works for you. The way that you hold your camera may make a difference in the quality of your shots. It is important to hold your camera with both hands so that you have the most control over it. Hold it so that you are supporting the lens with your left hand and holding the camera body with your right hand. This position will make it easier to keep your camera steady, take pictures quickly, and adjust your settings if necessary. You can also try holding your elbows close to your body to help steady the camera. If you have a hard time keeping your camera steady enough to photograph your subjects, then you might find it helpful to get a tripod. A tripod will keep your camera steady while still allowing you to adjust it to different angles. You might consider getting a low-cost tripod to start out with. You can also get mini-tripods that adjust so that you can place them on table tops and photograph from lower angles. Low-resolution images don't look as good as high-resolution pictures, and they're more difficult to alter after the fact. To ensure that you are getting the best quality photos possible, change your camera's settings so that you are taking high-resolution photos. Keep in mind that higher resolution photos take up a considerable amount of memory, so you may need to get a larger memory card to accommodate this change. Most digital cameras have an easy automatic mode that will change your camera's settings based on the type of subject you are photographing. For example, the camera may detect that you are taking a portrait of someone in low light and adjust the settings to get the best image. Try using your camera's automatic setting to make it easier to take better photos. If your photos come out poorly focused or poorly exposed, then start operating certain functions manually. For portraits, using an anti-red eye mode may be helpful.
