10. HOW TO HOLD YOUR CAMERA
(FOR SHARPER PICTURES)
1. Lightly put your right-hand forefinger on the Shutter Release Button while
holding the camera body with other fingers.
2. Make your right arm comfortable, but keep it as close to your body as
possible.
3. Cradle your camera and lens in the palm of your left hand, holding it so that
the Focusing Ring can be easily turned with your fingers.
4. Brace your left elbow against your body and hold the camera comfortably
against your face. Look through the Viewfinder to compose your picture.
* It is important to practice correct shooting position to avoid blurred or tilted pictures. (Figs. 33,
