Don't be dictated by the sun!
Using automatic settings to shoot into the sun will throw your subject into silhouette as the camera dials down the exposure to compensate for the bright background. Shooting people with the sun in front of them, meanwhile, solves the silhouette problem but introduces another one: squinting. Solve this by keeping their back to the sun and forcing the flash to fire (switch from it 'auto' to 'on' or 'forced') to correct the exposure on your subjects' faces without leaving them squinting.

Get rid of shutter lag

Shutter lag is that awkward moment in time between pressing the shutter button, the camera focusing and finally getting around to taking the shot. On some cameras, such as SLRs, this lag is hardly noticeable. Some compact cameras suffer from quite pronounced shutter lag, which means that often, you are likely to miss the exact moment you want to capture, while waiting for the camera to catch up.

Unless you want to buy a brand new camera, you can get around this on many cameras, to some extent, by half-pressing the shutter button. This will force the camera to pre-focus on your subject before you take the photo. Keep holding the button down halfway until you are ready to take the shot. Finally, press the button down completely. Shutter lag, be gone!
