Steady camera holding
is important
for
best
results,
since even
the
slightest
camera
movement
at
the
moment
of exposure
can result
in
an
appreciable
loss
of
sharpness,
especially
at slow
shutter
speeds.
The
photographs
show the
best
way to hold
the
camera for
rock-steady
picture-taking.
Wrap the fingers
of
the right
hand
around
the
camera
body so that
the index
finger
rests
comfortably
on the
shutter
release
button and
the thumb fits
between
the
body and
film
advance lever.
This way you
can
stroke
the film-advance
without
removing
your eye
from
the
viewfinder.
Cradle
the
camera
in
the left
hand for
additional
support,
with the left
thumb
and
index finger
grasping
the focusing
ring.
The camera
may
be switched from
horizontal
to
vertical
format
in
this
position.
