HOLDING THE CAMERA

The Canon Reflex Zoom 8-3 has been designed primarily

for taking pictures while holding in right hand with the

grip ; however, care should be taken to hold the camera

as firmly as possible and avoid shaking while shooting.
If the camera is not steady when shooting, the resulting

pictures will be shaky and difficult to see. Special care

should be taken when zooming or taking at the maximum

focal length. For the best stability when taking pictures,

place the camera on a table, or firm surface, or use a

sturdy tripod or monopod.

Two useful methods of holding the camera.

(1) With the left hand over the top of the camera and the

right hand holding the grip, keep the camera pressed

firmly against the forehead. The forefinger of the right

hand manipulates the exposure lever. The right elbow is

pulled in against the body.
