HOLDING CAMERA
Proper holding of the camera is essential to
minimize camera shake which causes blurred
pictures. Practice holding and operating your
camera before inserting your first film cartridge.
Generally there are three basic ways to hold the
camera. In any case, hold the camera tightly to
your face with your hands. The grips on this
camera will help you keep a steady hold on your
camera. Release the shutter gently while slowly
breathing out. Strong pressure on the shutter
release button may cause blurred photographs.
Take a secure, well-balanced posture without
straining yourself. The portion marked O in the
illustration should be drawn to your body. It is
a good idea to stabilize your body and the camera
using a tree, building wall, table, etc. For long
exposures or while using telephoto lenses, it is
recommended to use a tripod in order to reduce
camera shake to a minimum.
