RELEASING
THE
SHUTTER
The
way
the camera
is supported
(see
p.
341
when
exposures
are made
and
how
the shutter
is released
are
as important
as
focusing for
best
photographic
results,
and
to avoid blurred
pictures
due
to camera
movement
during
ex-
posure
these factors
become more
critical
the
slower
the shutter
speed.
You
may
wish
to
use
the
figure
"6O"
on
the
shutter-speed
scale
as the reference
point
to
gauge
the
chance
of camera
movement.
When
the
LED lights
below it,
you
should
pay
special
attention
to
both camera
and subject
mo/e-
ment
in
taking
pictures.
With
the
possible
exception
of highest
speeds,
the camera
or
hands
holding
it should
generally
be f
irmly
steadied
against
your
face
or
body
when
you
release
the
shutter.
At
slower
speeds,
it is
advisable
to steady
the camera
against
a doorframe,
post,
or other
f
irm
support
while
depressing
the
release.
