Shooting Photos Common Mistakes

Using the wrong shooting modes for The scene. Take advantage of settings for the best possible photo

Modern digital cameras are so sophisticated that it’s all too easy to leave your camera to do all of the work. For the vast majority of subjects this approach does yield some excellent results. However, within the complex nature of digital cameras there are even more ideal shooting modes on offer. Switching your camera over to a manual or semi-manual mode, for example, can allow you to get the most out of any photo situation as well as get creative with your shots. On the other hand, simply switching over to a dedicated scene mode can be all you need to do to get the most out of your camera in specific circumstances. 


1. Staying in auto
Although modern digital cameras have the ability to recognise specific scenes with auto 
modes, sometimes they can pick the wrong settings for your subject. Try moving into manual 
modes to take more control.

2. Ignoring ISO

Many are guilty of leaving the ISO setting well alone. However, monitoring it can ensure you don’t get grainy images, and it can also be used to help you get those important shots in difficult lighting conditions.

3. Incorrect scene mode

Scene modes are now more usable than ever, but make sure you remember to change the scene mode over when you start shooting a different subject, such as moving from a landscape to a portrait.

4. Wrong white balance

Set a specific white balance, such as Tungsten for indoors, then forgetting to change it when you move outside, which can produce a colour cast. Either use auto or remember to change it!


Out of focus photographs


Make the most of the focus for instantly sharper shots

Focusing is one of the easiest things to get wrong in photography. Digital cameras now come with numerous focusing modes, and with so many to choose from it’s easy to pick the wrong one and end up with a blurry shot. However, identifying the best settings for each scene and taking full control can ensure that all of your shots come out of the camera with pin-sharp details. 


1. Missing focus

With moving subjects, it’s W easy to miss the focus using the wrong mode. Use Focus Tracking to maintain focus on a fast subject like animals or kids.

2. Only using single AF

Staying in single-point autofocus may mean it won’t recognise the subject in a busy scene. Select your focus point using a multi-point AF setting.

3. Avoiding manual

When the camera is struggling to focus, such as when wire fences are in the way, don’t be afraid to switch to manual to get accurate results.

4. Not focusing on eyes

In portrait and animal shots, it’s important to focus on the eyes for a stronger shot. Use your LCD to zoom in and check your focus is correct.
