14. Techniques for Capturing the Best Images
The VQ350 captures images to record special memories and scenes you’ll want to share.
Here are a few tips for getting the best possible images from your camera.
1. Use good lighting. Give attention to your surroundings to insure your VQ350 can
perform well with adequate existing lighting or use the flash to fill shadows or light dim
areas.
2. Avoid uneven lighting and high contrast. Compose your scenes so that there are no
deep shadows or bright backgrounds. The key to good images is balanced scene
lighting. Use the fill - flash for scenes where high contrast and dark shadows are
unavoidable.
3. Minimum focus distance. Make sure your subject is not too close. The minimum focus
distance is 3-4 feet (one meter).
4. Position your primary subject in the center of the image. The VQ350 focuses best in the
center of the image. The edges of your images are softly focused, giving a soft perimeter
effect to each image.
