Camera shake is one of the commonest causes of unsharp
pictures, especially at slow shutter speeds. Learn to hold the
camera correctly and practice steady shutter squeezing, The

Grasp the camera firmly so that the end of the baseplate rests
comfortably in the palm of the left hand. Wrap your right hand
around the camera with the right index finger resting on the
film advance lever. Position the camera solidly so the eye
looks through the center of the viewfinder and steady it with
both hands held against the head. The camera may be
switched from a horizontal to vertical format in this position.

even more difficult than on land. Concentrate on steadiness
even at fast shutter speeds.
