If you are shooting indoors then try and use lighting from the sides, don't use the on camera flash!. Try using two desk lamps, one from either side, to light your friends faces!. Put the camera on a tripod, or other object where it won't move, get your friend to pose, and look at the camera to arrange the shot, put it on self timer mode then press the button!. Self-timer means the photo won't blur from the movement of you pressing the shutter!. Use the lowest ISO possible, either 100 or 200 to get the best quality, and make sure you have the camera settings set to the largest/best possible quality!. Above all, experiment, try and get some different lights and move them round to see what they look like and how your friends lookWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well!.!.!.!. the settings of all camera are limited!.!.!.there is no best lighting!.!.!.still can find unsatisfing errors!.!.!.so I would suggest you just go ahead to shot for what you want and then edit these pictures by photo software or bring your cam to the photo shop, the professional photographers will help you to fix your problem, such as, delete the red points of the eye!.!.!.!.!.!.
