Use a tripod to steady your camera and prevent blur.
An expensive camera won't automatically make your photos turn out clear and crisp -- you may need to adjust your camera's settings to ensure that your photos are not blurry. Taking Manually adjusting your camera's settings is the first step to making your photography sharper. After that, you must change the environment in which you take the photos. If you don't do both of these things, your photos will not be as sharp as they could be.
Instructions
1. Lower your camera's ISO setting. High ISO settings increase the noise in your photos, making them appear blurry.
2. Lower the aperture of your lens. Lowering your aperture means that your camera lets in less light, which can result in sharper pictures -- set it to f/8 at the lowest. Since you are decreasing the amount of light your camera lets in, you must increase the light in your environment. Use natural light, lamps and reflectors to increase the amount of light on your subject.
3. Use a fast shutter speed on your camera, particularly when shooting high-speed subjects like cars, birds or sports. Ideally, for lenses zoomed over 100 mm, the shutter speed should be equivalent of the lens length in mm. For example, a lens zoomed at 300 mm should be matched with 1/300 of a second shutter speed.
4. Place your camera on a tripod. Even the steadiest hands can create minor vibrations that compromise the sharpness of a photograph, so keep your camera still by putting it on a tripod.
