For the security of the camera, wear the camera strap on your neck as a medal. If the camera strap still too long, wrap some of them on your right wrist. That way, when the rope loose from the neck, the right hand can still keep the camera, so it doesn’t fall. Right hand holding the camera grip, left hand holding the camera while playing a zoom on the lens, if you use the zoom lens. Do not handle or rotate the focus ring unless you are looking for manual focus. If you rotate the focus ring on the auto focus (AF) mode, auto focus facility on the lens will be damaged. When shooting with low shutter speeds, your movement might make the camera shake. That’s fair, because when fully pressed the shutter button, your finger will cause a reaction on camera. If your left hand not holding the reaction, the camera was shaking and the picture becomes out of focus. Hand strength to hold the reaction is different. There are people who can not withstand of the shutter speed 1 / 10 second or slower. But there is also can not withstand shutter speed 1 / 30 second or slower. Especially if the body limp and have not had lunch. Please test your own abilities. Take pictures of any stationary object with different shutter speeds, ranging from 1 / 100 second to 1 second. The camera will usually bring up a warning if the risk of movement on shutter speeds slower than 1 / 60 second. In such conditions, place your left elbow on your chest or your body. Just before pressing the shutter, hold your breath a while, then snap and breathe again. See the results on the LCD screen and zoom the image maximum extent possible. Now you know the shutter speed that you can tolerate to keep the camera not moving. If you think that you should take pictures with very low speed, use a tripod or monopod. If no, find a table, pole, or even your foot as the cantilever of the camera. Poles and walls can also be used to be the back rest.

Open all your eyes

When shooting, keep your eyes open. You can close the eye that is not used to see the viewfinder (usually the left eye) when you are looking for focus. After that open all your eyes, so you can monitor the situation around the object.

In circumstances compelled, you may be unable to see the viewfinder, for example because you should take pictures from below or above. If should take pictures from the bottom up to the camera hits the ground, use your feet or shoe as the base of the camera.

If you use a tripod, place one tripod foot in front to keep the camera not rolled forward. Free tripod of any load that are not easily shifted.
