10. Holding the Camera
® Bring your elbows close to your body, and stabilize the camera.
@ At the moment you take a picture, hold your breath.
® Depress the shutter release button gently.
To take sharp pictures, the camera must be held steady.
Blurred pictures are most often caused by camera
shake. The camera can be held not only in the
horizontal position, but also in the vertical position
depending on the subject. In any case, study your
comfortable camera positioning and practice until you
get used to it. It is also good to support your body or
camera with a building, tree, and so on.
