4Holding the Camera

The best way to prevent image blur from camera movement is to hold the camera as steady as possible, with your left hand supporting the camera and lens. Lightly rest your right index finger on the shutter button, and the tip of your thumb on the film advance lever or on the body. Wrap your other right fingers around the action grip. Then press your left elbow to your body and lightly press the camera against your cheek or forehead. For a vertical shot, steady at least one elbow against your body. Spread your feet slightly apart. one foot ahead of the other, and relax. Lean against a steady support if one is available.

There is, of course, no one correct way to hold the camera.

Experiment to find the most suitable way for you. Select a method that provides comfort in addition to stability. It may help to practice in front of a mirror. When shooting at a shutter speed of 1/30 sec. Or slower or with a telephoto lens, it is advisable to mount the camera on a tripod. If the tripod screw is especially long, be careful not to screw it in beyond the limit of the camera’s tripod socket.
