40 Hold the camera steady.
Many blurred shots are caused by unsteady holding of
the camera. Basic holding posture; Use your left hand to cradle
the camera, with your fingers wrapped around the lens and
elbow propped against your body for support, as you look
through the viewfinder. Use you right hand's index finger to
depress the shutter release button and your thumb to wind the
film advance lever. Wrap the other fingers of your right hand
around the camera body. You can adapt this basic posture to
both horizontal- and vertical-format shooting. To hold the camera
steady, it is advisable to lean on or against something strong
and stable (e.g., a wall). Also, you can look through the view
finder with the right or left eye, with the other eye open or closed.
