Holding the Camera
Some
ways
of
holding
the
camera
will
cause
blurred
movies,
so
make
sure
the
camera
is
held
correctly.
The
fundamentals
of
holding
a camera are to put your right hand through
the
strap
and
hold
the
grip
with
your
index
finger
on
the
shutter
release
lever.
Use
the
left hand to control the zooming switch on the
top of the camera and for holding the upper part
of the camera body while shooting. Press your
right elbow firmly against your body to steady
the camera. Keep your feet slightly apart. If you
are panning, do so by turning only your upper
body
from
side
to
side,
without
moving
your
lower body. The ideal, when possible, is to use a
tripod and cable release device, such as Remote
Switch 60, supplied with the camera, in order to
avoid
camera
shake.
And
whenever
removing
your eye from the eyepiece, be sure to close the
eyepiece
shutter
to
prevent
extraneous
light
from
entering
and
adversely
affecting
the
ex
posure.
