5. Holding the camera
Tuck in your elbows and stabi-
lize the camera.
Hold your breath when pressing
the shutter button.
Keep your arms and hands
relaxed and press the shutter
button gently.
It is important to hold the camera firmly in order to achieve sharp pho-
tographs. Unsharp photographs are often due to camera shake caused by
the photographer's abrupt motion when taking a picture.
Practice working with the camera and making both vertical and horizontal com-
positions. Find positions that are comfortable for you. Propping yourself or the
camera against a building or tree can often be effective.
• When taking photographs in dark places or in other cases where the shutter speed is
slow, use a tripod to avoid camera shake.
