Shooting postures

A correct posture for stabilising the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you
hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight
and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter
speed, hold your breath to minimise body movement.

Holding the camera

Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger on the Shutter button.
Place your left hand under the lens for support.
