Rule

of

Thumb:

Generally, do not use a number on the shutter

speed

scale which

is

any smaller than the focal

length

of

the lens

for

handheld shooting. For

handheld shooting with a

100

mm lens,

for

in

-

stance, set a shutter speed

of

1/

125

second or

faster; with a

200

mm lens, at least

11

250

second. If this

is

not possible, use a tripod

and

a

cable release.

I

wonder

what

we're

supposed

to

do

if

we

don

't

have

a flash

or

a

tripod

and a cable re-

lease?

Let's

try

steadying

the

camera on

this

table

and

then

releasing

the

shutter

with

the

AE-1 PRO-

GRAM's

self-timer

.

I'm

sure

it

will

reduce

the

possibility

of

camera

movement

.

Note

In

the programmed

AE

mode, the

" P " blinks when the shutter speed

is

1/

30

or

slower

to

warn you

of

the

possibility

of

camera movement

if

you

are

handholding the camera.
