· SHOOTING POSTURE
In order to obtain perfect shots, the camera must be held firmly and steadily. Otherwise perfect shots are very often spoiled because of camera shake at the moment of exposure.

Before attempting to shoot your first series of pictures, therefore, get the 'feel of the camera and acquaint yourself thoroughly with the proper shooting postures.

For horizontal format shots, grip the camera body gently with your right hand, while supporting the lens barrel and base with your left hand as illustrated. Trip the shutter with your right index finger.

For vertical format shots, hold the camera with your right hand with your right thumb on the shutter release button (See bottom photo).
