1.

 I always take poor quality photos at home, why?
It may be due to insufficient light intensity at your home. Try to increase the illumination of your 
home when taking photos. However, it is not recommended that you use the camera indoors or at 
night where light intensity is not sufficient.

2.  Why would I get dark images even when the photos are taken outdoors?

The objects may be in a shade, for example, under a tree.

3.  How can I avoid getting dark images?

Pay attention to the background light intensity as it will affect the exposure of the main object. The 
camera can calculate the total light intensity of the picture and fine-adjust the exposure. If the 
background is too dark, the object will be too bright. If the background is too bright, the object will 
be too dark. Change the angle where you take the pictures so that the object and the background 
are with similar light intensity.

4.  Why would I get fuzzy, unclear photos?

There might be some movements of your body or hands when taking photos. Hold the camera
