How can I keep my camera steady in my hands?
It's very simple. The grip to the camera is very important. We always hold the camera in the right hand whether it's a big camera or a small camera. You should be able to control the camera with your middle finger, ring finger, and thumb. You have to have enough strength to hold the camera properly. With the SLR type camera we make the letter “U” and drop the camera in. Bring the camera to eye putting pressure on the eye to give you your stable platform and then you squeeze the shutter ever so gently and that gives you sharp pictures. If you have the compact style camera, we hold the camera in the middle finger, ring finger, and thumb again and then we make the letter “L” dropping the camera into the letter “L” and that gives you your stable platform. Once again, you hold the camera elbows in tight and squeeze the picture ever so gently. If you have a hard time holding the camera still, maybe an image stabilizing technology is a good choice for you when you buy your camera.
