To reduce
camera shake, support
your
body
or
the
camera
on a solid object
-
a table, tree, or a wall for in-
stance.
.
When using an ultra-telephoto lens,
a tripod that is
heavier
than the total weight
of
the
camera and lens is
recommended
to avoid camera
shake.

Although there are individual
differences among
pho-
tographers, in
general
the
shutter speed for a hand
held
camera is the inverse
of
the focal length.
For ex-
ample, 1,/5O of
second
when
the focal length is
50mm, and 1
./1OO
of second when it is 100mm.
Using a tripod is recommended
when the shutter
speed is slower than this.
