Holding the Camera
Hold the camera steady
with both hands and
brace your elbows against
your sides. Shaking or
unsteady hands can blur
your shots.
To prevent pictures that
are out of focus or too
dark (underexposed), keep
your fi ngers and other ob-
jects away from the lens
and fl ash.
Tip: Focus Lock
Use focus lock (pg. 21) to focus on subjects that are not in the focus frame.
