Canon EOS 1000 F - Manual (Page 20)

Sharp pictures require that the camera be
held still to prevent unnecessary move­
ment called “camera shake” that can
ruin your pictures. Try the suggested tips
below.
1) Hold the camera firmly in your right
hand. Place the palm of your left hand
on the bottom of the camera to support
the lens.
2) Keep both elbows close to your body.
3) Spread your feet apart about shoulder
width for a steady natural stance.
4) Lightly hold the camera against your
nose and look into the viewfinder.
There is no one correct way to hold the
camera. Experiment to find the most
comfortable position. Whenever possi­
ble, lean against a steady support suoh as
a tree, wall, or table to help you keep the
camera still.
