Shooting postures

A correct posture for stabilizing 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 low shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize 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.

Standing photography

Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
