    The most common mistakes that happen when taking a picture are that when you focus on a subject sometimes when you go to take the picture and press the button the slightess movement at that popint can give you the wrong angle. Also when the flash goes off in the wrong moment and the light blanks out the image.

    The most common mistake swhen taking a pictures are when i picture is trying to get taken inside a room or something the flash sometimes flashes too much on the object your trying to focus on. Another mistake can be that when you try to get the camera to focus on an object and let the background blur sometimes the whole picture comes out blurry =/

    Sometimes if you move the picture it will come out blurry. another mistake is that the composition isn't always right

    The whole mistake is that people shake when they get nervous and then when they take pictures they get blurred.

    There are a couple of mistakes I make when I take a photo. A common one is actually not aliging the camera correctly, I miss the shot. Another mistake I make at times is moving the camera because I get distracted.

    One common problem I have is when poeple close their eyes just as the photo's being taken. Another is when the timing is off.

    one mistake that i make when taking pictures is that sometime i dont even notice that my own finger gets in the way of the shot and it ruins the image. another problem is that sometimes the camera will make a slight movement and cause the image to become blurred.

    The most common mistake I make when taking pictures is that I don't adjust the settings the right way. especially when using my digital camera, I accidentally leave the setting on "Video," and end up missing some great shots.

    A common mistake I make when taking pictures is that I get it off focus, not blurry, just not centered. I also have a tendancy to move the camera before the photo has even been captured.

    The most common mistake for me is either the picture comes out blurry or the flash takes away from the image. When you use flash it sometimes changes the colors of things.

    the most common mistake that happens when i take a picture is the angle, not taking the picture in a perfect angle. alsoo being able to keep your hands steady for the picture won't come out blurry.

    the most mistakes any kind of camara even a digital on e would do is making people's eyes red, and sometimes it also makes pictures blurry, and the camara above is kind of funny looking because it's so small not too small but you know what i mean.

    The most common mistake I make when taking a photo is when the flash flashes too much or to bright and it makes the object(s) or person lighter than they are. The color is lost and theres not much contrast.
