KODAK Self-Teaching Guide to Using an Adjustable 35 mm Camera

Now take a picture of the same scene holding the camera in your hands. Stand with your feet firmly on the floor or ground and your weight distributed evenly so that you’re not balancing on one foot. Now press the shutter release as smoothly as possible—don’t jab at it. A firm grip on the camera is important. If possible, brace your camera against your face to help keep it steady. Many cameras can be held so that one finger of your right hand is on the shutter release and your right thumb is on the bottom of the camera. When you press the shutter release with this grip, you will be making a smooth, pinching motion with your right hand. Remember: ALWAYS HOLD THE CAMERA ROCK-STEADY AND PRESS THE SHUTTER SMOOTHLY.

(Put your example here.)

Is this picture as sharp as the one before?

Holding the camera steady is the most important thing for you to learn and remember.
