Adjust the camera angle and move your position relative to the subject.ResolutionResolution in non-technical language means the fine details of the picture. The more megapixels you have, the better quality your pictures will have. Resolution is measured in megapixels (MP) or literally, "millions of pixels". Three to four MP should be adequate for the average photographer.MegapixelsFor example, a 3 megapixels (MP) camera outputs images that are anywhere from 1 to 2 MB in size while a 7 MP camera outputs images that are 4 to 5 MB in size.
