1. The average size of a card is: 6*4 inch. You will need an 1800*1200 pixel size photo. The photo should be saved in a jpeg, pdf, or a psd format.
2. Focus: using the camera's zoom: a common mistake is to stand close to the babies face and use the wide optics of the camera, however the right way is to move away from the photographed baby and bring him closer to you using only the zoom. That is because when you take the picture from far you can avoid distortion that happened from close. In this way you can also ensure not distracting the baby. Try not to come too close with the zoom - it will likely damage the quality of the picture and cause blurring. In order to take a sharp photograph with the right exposure you need to arrange the camera for that. Most people's mistake is that they use automated status; they just press the button without preparing the camera for focus or fitting the amount of light before. The stage of half pressing is a very important stage in any kind of photograph picture. When pressing on the button only half way the camera is focusing itself and measuring the amount of light that’s needed. When camera notes with her "bip" or when a small square is seen in center of the frame you can be sure that now the action had been done properly. It is very important not to release the pressing until the camera signals that the action had been done. Pay attention not to move the camera, it is worthwhile to place the camera on a tripod. A blurred picture happens because of the movement, and it cannot be repaired.
