RELEASING THE SHUTTER
The way the camera is supported (see p. 34)
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 expo-
sure these factors become more critical the
slower the shutter speed.
You may wish
to use the figure "60" 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 move-
ment in taking pictures.
With
the possible exception of fastest
speeds,
the camera or hands holding it should
generally be firmly steadied against your face or
body when you release the shutter.
At slower speeds, it is advisable to st, eady
the camera against a doorframe, post, or other
firm support while depressing the release.
The shutter should always be released with a
slow,
steady squeeze - never a quick jab -
preferable while holding
your breath.
