Good Photography Posture

With your left hand firmly supporting the camera to the left of and below the lens, support the camera body with your right hand.

Next, look for your subject and determine the camera position.

You can change the angle of the subject and the background by changing the direction in which you point the camera.

You then frame the shot by using the zoom function, etc., to enlarge or reduce the subject to the desired size within the shot.

Use your left hand to hold the camera also.

Hold your arms firmly against your body.

Spread your legs apart slightly and adopt a firm stance.

Align the screw hole on the bottom of the camera with the screw on the tripod.

Turn the screw on the tripod to secure the camera in place.

•Adjust the screw and the length of the legs so that the camera does not wobble at all.

NOTE:Stud

● Use only tripods not equipped with a stud that prevents the camera from rotating.

Using a Tripod

We recommend use of a tripod in the circumstances described below in order to avoid problems caused by shaky hands.

We especially recommend the use of a tripod when using pixel shift mode, wide range mode, or noise reduction mode.

•Low shots

Because it is difficult to assume a steady posture for a low shot, the shot will frequently be on a slant or blurred by shaky hands.

•Dark locations

When shooting in a location that prohibits the use of a flash (such as in a museum), the shutter speed is reduced, which increases the likelihood of problems caused by shaky hands.

•Shooting a distant object through the telephoto feature

Because the telephoto feature makes a small, distant space appear larger, even the slightest movement of the camera can cause blurring.

•Shooting an extreme closeup

Because a nearby object appears very large when shot in a closeup, the slightest movement in your body or hand can result in a blurred image.
