Hold the camera properly. Stand with one foot forward a half step to balance your body.
Grasp the camera handgrip with your right hand. Use your left hand to cradle the camera/
lens with your elbow propped against your body for support, as you look through the
viewfinder. Use your right index finger to press the Shutter Release button.
Check that nothing gets between your camera and the desired scene:
Do not block the lens with your hair, hand, or camera strap.
When capturing an image without looking through the viewfinder, make sure
nothing (such as your camera strap) is between your camera and the subject.
Do not block the flash during flash photography.
