Pentax MX User Manual

HOLDING THE CAMERA
As a general rule, your camera can be held more firmly in the left hand, which does not release the shutter.
If you hold your camera with the right hand - the hand that releases the shutter ^ this may cause camera
movement. Often, blurred pictures are due to camera movement.
Horizontal position A,
Hold the camera firmly with
your left hand, and draw your
arms close to your body.
Vertical position B.
Hold your camera tightly to
your forehead with your left
hand, and draw your right arm
close to your body.
Vertical position C.
Hold your camera tightly to your
forehead with your left hand,
raise your right arm and draw
your left arm to your body.
