tripod. The cable release socket is next to the

Holding the Camera
To avoid blurred movies, it is most important to
hold the camera correctly. The best method of
holding the camera is to put your hand through the
strap and grasp the grip while putting the other hand
on the top of the camera, for focusing or zooming.
When holding the camera, press your elbow firmly
against your body and keep your feet slightly apart.
When performing photography with your eye sepa­
rated from the finder's eyepiece, cover the eyepiece
with your hand so as to prevent outside light from
entering the finder.
