Why whenever I have the camera take my close up portrait on the 20 second automatically, my face is always blurred?

What do I do wrong?

and composition. Composition is probably the key factor in creating a good photo.

What's really important in composition?

Of

I assume you're talking about scene and program? Well, I actually don't like either. :) You don't buy a fully controllable camera so that you can shoot in P mode - you're giving up control of two critical settings at the same time.

 

...Scene modes I sort of get, as they might add a certain texture to the image (e.g. high contrast b&w). But IMO it's best to ignore the fluff and focus on criteria that matter: aperture, shutter, perspective, focal length, focus, metering. That's it.

Of the criteria you mentioned at the end I only know about the first two...Not the other three...

You are not going to break anything if you take a poor photograph using S or P mode - what is stopping you?

 

What type of photographs do you like taking?
