*Question problem
*What will take the best pictures… a handheld camera on landscape
mode vs. a tripod camera on landscape
mode?
*hypothesis
*My hypothesis is that the best picture will be the tripod camera on
landscape mode.
*I think this because the research said a tripod camera is known to be
more stable.
*Materials/procedures
Materials
*CANON PowerShot A530
*Tripod
*Outdoors setting
Procedures
1. Take a picture using handheld mode on landscape setting.
2. Take a picture using tripod mode on
landscape setting.
3. Examine the 2 pictures and see which comes out
better.
*Observations #1
*The landscape mode had a 5
second wait till it took the picture.
*Observations #2
*The tripod started to wobble a little because of the terrain it was on.
*Observation #3*The handheld
camera couldn’t stop going to a
angle.
*Observation #4
*The landscape mode was wider
than the rest.
*Results, chartsResults
*The tripod mode with a landscape setting took the better
picture.
*It wobbles less then the handheld mode on a landscape
setting.Charts

*Abstract
People always wonder “which mode takes better pictures”. This experiment focuses on which takes a more stable picture, a handheld camera vs. a tripod camera. The pictures were tested in a outdoor setting and examined with picture software. My hypothesis was that the tripod camera on landscape setting would take the better picture. The experimental results supported my hypothesis by showing that the handheld mode was too un-stable and the more stable picture was on the tripod camera.
*recommendations
*During this project I found a related project I would like to study later on in the future.
* The recommendation I could give others is that this experiment was hard and tricky but it is very fun to
do. You have to have the right software for this experiment.
