Keep your arms and hands relaxed and press the shutter button gently.
It is important to hold the camera firmly in order to achieve sharp pho- tographs. Unsharp photographs are often due to camera shake caused by the photographer's abrupt motion when taking a picture.
Practice working with the camera and making both vertical and horizontal com- positions. Find positions that are comfortable for you. Propping yourself or the camera against a building or tree can often be effective.
•When taking photographs in dark places or in other cases where the shutter speed is slow, use a tripod to avoid camera shake.
