How to correctly hold the camera posture to avoid shooting vibration of SLR camera

To stabilize your camera, let's start with the basics and see how to hold the camera, try to keep it stable and reduce camera shake.

Basic machine maintenance methods:

Correct posture

Wrong posture

For digital SLR cameras, the human body is not the most stable support, so it is necessary to learn some basic movements to improve the stability when taking pictures. Stand still and relax, feet apart, elbows clamped. Hold the camera with both hands, and one hand holds the lens in a ring shape to help zoom and focus. Exhale before pressing the shutter can relax you. Try not to take pictures when your elbows are far away from your body, your hands can't be kept on your mobile phone or your body is twisted, which will affect the clarity of your photos.

prone position

Correct posture

Wrong posture

The prone position is very suitable for taking scenery or macro photos. A more compact body posture helps to reduce camera shake. Remember to make both elbow joints contract as much as possible and support them on a level ground. Turn your body a little, and you will lose your stability, because you don't get any support from the ground. Finally, you must remember to look at the ground before you go down.

standing position

Legs can support the weight of the body well, and are most commonly used in wedding photography or news photography. The key is to remain stable and relaxed.

Correct posture

Wrong posture

If you bend forward and stand, your body will naturally sway, and the final photo will be blurred, which may also lead to spinal diseases.

Half kneeling posture

Correct posture

Wrong posture

Half kneeling will lower your shooting height, but it can provide better support for the camera-remember to put your elbow on your knee. Similarly, before pressing the shutter, take a few conscious deep breaths and keep your shoulders relaxed. The semi-squat posture with legs bent at the same time is the worst, which will make your body nervous and the camera shake badly.
