both hands.
• If the lens or flash is obscured by your fingers or the
strap, subjects may be out of focus or the brightness
(exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.
• Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty (getting
fingerprints on the lens etc.), clean the lens as informed
on p.115.
Brace your elbows
against your sides and
hold the camera with both
hands.
Do not cover the lens or
flash with your fingers.
