Dueling Nikons.
It takes more than a good camera to shoot a great photo. For portrait photos, the subject should be crisp and clear, and the background should be soft. If you are using a Nikon to shoot indoor portraits, there are a few things you need to know before you will be able to shoot the beautiful portrait of your dreams.
Instructions
1. Set the Mode dial on your Nikon to the "A" setting. Then choose the lowest f-stop value that you have on your particular camera. This will help to sharpen the background of your portrait.
2. Zoom in close to your subject. If you cannot zoom as far as you would like, simply get closer to your subject. This reduces the depth of field and helps your subject image to appear sharper and more defined.
3. Turn the flash setting to the "Off" position. Use the light that you have available to shoot the portrait to avoid red eye.
4. Press and hold the shutter button halfway down. This will make sure that the metering and auto focus are used before the portrait is taken. You can also change your camera mode to "manual focus" if you would rather manually focus the camera.
5. Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to take the photograph. Don't release the button after the auto-focus takes place; simply press the button further. View the photo in the photo viewer window and decide if you need to make any changes before you take the next photo.
