Canon EOS 300 D - Manual (Page 27)

Basic Operation
1
Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera
shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred
pictures due to camera shake:
■ Hold the camera steady.
• Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with
your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.
No matter what state the camera is in (image playback, menu operation,
image recording, etc., except during direct printing), pressing the shutter
button halfway will instantly make it ready for shooting.
Using the Electronic Dials
The <^> dial is for setting shooting settings and selecting and
setting menu items.

(1) Press a button and turn the

the camera is ready to shoot.
