The automatic setting allows for allows for the widest variety of conditions, but rarely takes the best possible picture.  A little bit of experimenting will go a long way to improving your pictures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hold The Camera Still<\/strong> &#8211; Any camera motion when the shutter is open will result in a loss of the sharpness in the photo.

So fire away.  Take lots of shots with different settings, at different angles.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Picassa<\/strong> &#8211; Google offers free software, <a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Picassa<\/a>,  to find, organize and share all the photos on your computer.
