Centering Pictures I take pictures and keep cutting off the heads I have the subject centered inside the yellow square in the viewfinder but samething cut off the heads. I recently did a whole roll of still shots of doll babies and guess what NO HEADS! HELP I'M FRUSTRATED!

By "yellow square in the viewfinder" I'm assuming you are not using an SLR, but a point & shoot camera. You are experiencing parallax error. The viewfinder and camera lens are physically separated by a couple inches. What you see in the viewfinder is not exactly the same scene the lens will record. There is very little difference when your subject is 10+ feet away, but as you found there is a big difference in close-up shots of your dolls. Your viewfinder may have parallax error lines that you should use to frame a close subject rather than filling the entire viewfinder. See
