Most people think that all point-and-shoot cameras can only take pictures on automatic and it do not require any photography skills at all. However, being a professional or amateur photographer - you couldn't neglect the fundamentals of photography.

In photo composition practice, you have to change the LCD display to gridlines or boxes - soon, you'll see the screen with nine equal blocks - three columns and three rows. Then, move your camera around until the subjects are positioned within these blocks. It can be enhanced if you play around with different angles or any position if you think it will look good in the picture.

On the other hand, adjusting the ISO setting is meant for taking clearer pictures under different conditions - ISO 400 for capturing images under dim conditions as well as taking pictures of fast moving subjects, and 800-1600 for capturing images outdoors.
