How to prevent camera shake when taking photos

Digital zoom can often produce wonderful photos that satisfy us, but its long focal length also brings trouble. That is, the longer the focal length, the easier it is to produce shake caused by camera instability. Many otherwise wonderful photos were ruined by camera shake and the images became blurry. The greater the image magnification, the more obvious the blur. The camera shakes when it cannot be stabilized. Sometimes, this is indeed caused by your operating error, but there are also some inherent objective factors. For example, a small earthquake will definitely cause the camera to shake (but it can be ignored), and no matter how stable the camera support seems, the camera's The internal mechanism is also enough to cause shaking. Annoying camera shake can be moderately reduced if you take a few steps. If we want to produce clearer photos, we must pay attention to the camera usage skills. Nowadays, the diversification of camera configurations gives cameras many options to avoid camera shake. Use a tripod, synchronized shutter release, Selfie, etc. The most common way to deal with camera shake is to use a stable tripod. Place the camera on a stable, flat surface, not on an unstable surface or uneven ground, or the camera will shake or move during the exposure. However, using a tripod cannot completely guarantee that the photos taken will be clear. When the wind is relatively strong, it will also destroy the photo effect. There are many vehicles nearby or a train loaded with goods will also cause the ground to shake, which will affect the stability of the tripod placed on the ground. Mechanical movement inside the camera and manual operation of the camera will also cause the camera on a tripod to shake. Sometimes it is necessary to add weight to the tripod to increase the stability of the tripod, such as hanging a kettle or bag filled with water in the middle of the tripod. When it comes to tripods and other support equipment, we will definitely think of the most commonly used shutter synchronization cable. The shutter sync cable does prevent camera shake to a certain extent, but unfortunately, many cameras today do not have this device. Fortunately, now there is another remote control device. There are also some limitations to how it works. There are two other types of support, one that requires no cables or remote control, called a monopod (think of it as a tripod with only one leg), and a chest brace that rests on your chest, It may not feel comfortable, but these two devices are more convenient to use and carry than a tripod, so they are loved by many photographers. The correct posture for taking pictures with your hands. If you cannot place the camera on a stable and stable surface, you must hold the camera by hand and hold it as firmly as possible. When using the optical viewfinder, hold the camera close to your forehead. Photographers who wear glasses will need to make some adjustments so that there is an index finger distance between the camera and their forehead. It is best not to put plastic or metal camera parts in direct contact with the lens. Because cameras are easily scratched. Next, spread your legs naturally, shoulder-width apart, so that your legs form an angle of nearly 45 degrees with the ground. Another way is to lean your shoulders against a solid support, such as a tree or a telephone pole. And you can also consider sitting on the ground, kneeling on the ground, or lying on your stomach with your elbows on the ground. Always use two hands to hold the camera. Holding the camera in one hand is often not stable. Holding both hands together has a much better effect. The right hand can be used at any time, with the index finger gently pressing on the shutter button, ready for exposure. When photographing a speeding subject, never hesitate when pressing the shutter button, be sure to do it cleanly, this will also reduce camera shake. This process will most likely lock focus and exposure, since most autofocus/autoexposure start the camera processor by activating the shutter button. If pressing the shutter locks focus and exposure, you should learn to react quickly to fast-moving subjects so you have time to fully press the button and capture the photo in time. When using today's portable cameras, we generally hold the camera loosely on the left side. These portable cameras are more prone to shake due to their slower lenses and lighter weight. Therefore, the main function of the left hand is to prevent the camera from rotating and causing camera shake. The bottom of the camera or the bottom of the lens and body should be supported from bottom to top. This is mainly based on the size and design of the camera. The best way is to support the entire body of the camera with the palms facing up.
