Take the shake out of every shot.
Good-Bye Hand-Shake!
Hand-Shake Ruins More Photos Than Anything Else
Has this ever happened to you? Just as your baby struck the cutest smile, or the 1st place runner stepped over the finish line — you caught it all in a
photograph, only to find out later that it was totally ruined by blurring. This can destroy even the greatest shots. Many people think it's due to poor
focusing, but the real problem is hand-shake.
Several Reasons Why Hand-Shake Happens
Digital cameras are wonderfully light and compact, but that also makes them shake more easily when you press the shutter button. In fact, even larger
models that are easier to hold can shake when you're using a powerful zoom setting. Compared to shooting with a tripod, handheld zoom shots often
contain considerable jitter. And there's even more to think about. Since you're often using the camera's LCD monitor instead of a viewfinder to frame your
shots, you hold the camera farther away from your body. Even a pro finds it difficult to avoid hand-shake with this posture.
Hand-Shake Is Hiding Just About Everywhere
There are so many shots that lend themselves to hand-shake – like ones you take in the spur of the moment, in a dimly lit room, with only one hand, at
night, or with your zoom – and it is so sad to see important shots come out blurry.
