BASIC OPERATION continued
HOLDING THE CAMERA
Many blurred shots are caused by unsteady holding of the cam-
era. The basic shooting posture is: Hold the camera at eye level
while looking through the viewfinder. Cradle it in your hands with
the fingers of your eft hand wrapped around the lens barrel and
your elbow propped against your body for support Grasp the
handgrip , with your right hand and use your index finger to
depress the shutter release button and your thumb to wind the
6
film advance lever You can look through the viewfinder with
either the right or eft eye, while the other eyes opened or closed.
It's easy to adapt this basic posture to both horizontal- and ver-
tical-format shooting To hold the camera steady, stand with your
feet flat on the ground and slightly apart: if possible, lean on or
against something strong and stable, such as a wall, especially
when using slow shutter speeds.
