These factors are: properly holding the camera, enough DOF, the lowest ISO setting possible, anda fast enough shutter speed to prevent camera shake.  \nPHOTZY. COM  \nPerfect to print A5 size  \n14cm x 21cm / 5 .83” x 8. 27”  \nELBOWS IN  \n EYEBROW TOUCH  \nRest the viewfinder against your eyebrow to create more support.  \nHANDS  \nUse your right hand to grip the camera body and your index finger to press the shutter release. Cup the lens with your left hand, to create more support and stabilization.  \nPORTRAIT  \nTurn the camera so the shutter release is at the top. Cradle the bottom of the camera with your left hand.  \nLEGS   \nLegs should be shoulder-length apart to create balance. If you need to lean in, move one leg forward and bend the knees slightly.  \nBring one leg up and rest your elbow on the knee. This basically creates a tripod-like shape.  \nBREATHING  \nBreath out when taking a picture. Holding  \nyour breath in, creates a subtle shaking body motion.  \nLEAN IN  \nUse a wall, flat surface or even another person’s shoulder to create support. This is helpful when using a slow shutter  \nspeed and a tripod is not available.  \nBASIC CAMERA OPERATION  \nLENS FOCAL LENGTH  \nThe focal length tells us the angle of view: how much of the scene will be captured. And the magnification: how large individual elements will be recorded.  \nPHOTZY.

COM  \nPerfect to print A5 size  \n14cm x 21cm / 5 .83” x 8. 27”  \nBEFORE SHOOTING  \n• PICK A MID-LEVEL APERTURE  \nf/5 .6 to f/8 is a safe spot to give you enough depth-of-field (DOF) with most lenses.  \n• HOLD THE CAMERA STEADY  \nMake sure that your arms are always in a comfortable position, with your elbows resting on your sides, legs or a steady surface. If not possible, use a tripod.  \n• MIND THE ISO  \nUse a low to mid (200 to 640) ISO range to allow a good exposure, along with a proper shutter speed, and a mid-level aperture. A noisy image at higher ISO settings, may seem to appear unsharp.  \n• SHUTTER SPEED AND FOCAL LENGTH  \nWhen handholding the camera, the shutter speed shouldn’t be slower than the focal length of the lens in use. This rule does not apply if using a tripod.  \nTelephoto-70mm  \nShutter Speed: 1/80 and faster  \nWide angle-28mm  \nShutter Speed: 1/30 and faster  \nREFERENCE GUIDE*  \n Not recommended  Depends on the situation  Recommended  \nHANDHELD-WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF IMAGE STABILIZATION  \nShutter Speed 1/10 1/20 1/60 1/125 1/400 1/1000 1/2500  \n15mm         \nLength  \n\n| 28mm        |\n| --- |\n| 50mm       \u003Cbr>cal |\n| 200mm       \u003Cbr>HANDHELD-WITH IMAGE STABILIZATION\u003Cbr>Shutter Speed 1/10 1/20 1/60 1/125 1/400 1/1000 1/2500\u003Cbr>Fo |\n\nFocal Length ","cbCais3ASl0F62qn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais3ASl0F62qn","pdf",18054051,44,"English","# How to Hold the Camera\n## Perfect to Print A5 Size\n## Elbows in and Hands Position\n## Portrait Stance and Leg Placement\n## Breathing, Lean In Support\n# Basic Camera Operation\n## Lens Focal Length and Object Distance\n## Angle of View Explained (35mm reference)\n## Classification and Best Usage\n# Taking Sharp Pictures\n## Before Shooting: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed\n## Reference Guide for Handheld Shooting\n# Scene Modes\n## Beach/Snow, Night Scene, Night Portrait, Fireworks\n## Landscape, Macro, Portrait, Candlelight","[{\"question\":\"What are the main factors for taking a sharp photograph?\",\"answer\":\"A sharp photo depends on proper camera holding, enough depth of field, the lowest possible ISO, and a shutter speed fast enough to prevent camera shake.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the camera be held to improve stability?\",\"answer\":\"Grip the camera body with the right hand and use the left hand to cup the lens for support.
