How to hold the camera correctly
In order to achieve sharp, well-focused photo-
graphs, the camera must be held as steadily and
comfortably as possible. Hold the LEICA M7 in a
suitable, safe "three-point holding position” as
follows: hold the camera with your right hand with
your index finger on the release button and with
your thumb pushed behind the quick-wind lever in
its operating, standby position. Press the camera
against your forehead and cheek to give it further
stability.
For vertical pictures, turn the LEICA M7 to the left
and keep your hands in the same position as for
horizontal shots. You can however also rotate the
camera to the right. In this case, it may be ad-
vantageous to release the shutter using your
thumb
Note: We recommend the practical Handgrip M
(accessory) to enable you to hold the LEICA M7
and to carry it securely while keeping your hands
free (order No.14405).
