Step 4: Frame the Photograph
1 Ready the camera.
When framing photographs in the viewfinder, hold the
handgrip in your right hand and cradle the camera body
or lens with your left.
Keep your elbows propped lightly
against your torso for support and place one foot half a
pace ahead of the other to keep your upper body stable.
In j mode, shutter speeds slow when lighting is poor; use
of a tripod is recommended.
Hold the camera as shown at right when framing
photographs in portrait (tall) orientation.
For information on framing photographs in the monitor in live view mode, see
page 43.

Using a Zoom Lens
Use the zoom ring to zoom in on the subject so that it fills a
larger area of the frame, or zoom out to increase the area visible
in the final photograph (select longer focal lengths on the lens
focal length scale index to zoom in, shorter focal lengths to
zoom out).
