How to Hold the Camera
Neck strap
Because most out of focus pictures are the result of
camera movement, make sure not to move when
pressing the shutter button. Hold the camera with your
elbows close to your body: pressing part of the camera
on your forehead will help stabilize it. Then gently
release the shutter.
When making exposures longer than 1/30 sec., it is
advisable to use a tripod with a cable release.
Pass the neck strap through the carrying strap lugs, and
fasten it as shown.
TIP:
Be sure to focus the lenses by spanning the lower part
of the focusing collar with your fingers, in order not to
block the rangefinder window.
