How to correctly hold a SLR camera?

If you don't hold the camera correctly, your hands will shake and your photos will be blurred. Professional photographers summed up how to avoid this situation.

First, how to hold the camera while standing

Stand with your feet perpendicular to the subject: this will help you reduce unnecessary movements and press your elbows to your sides. If you don't do this, your hand holding the camera will shake.

Find your balance. For any combination of camera and lens, you can find a position that will not exceed any part. In this way, elbow fatigue will be reduced by shooting for a long time.

Put the camera close to the face and observe it through the optical viewfinder. If you reach out and hold the camera and just stare at the display screen, you are likely to get a blurred image.

Please exhale slowly before pressing the shoot button: this will reduce the vibration of your hands.

Second, how to hold the camera with the battery handle

If your camera has a battery handle, you can try to carry it on your shoulder. This method will come in handy when you need to shoot at a very slow shutter speed, but don't want to increase ISO or open the aperture.

Compared with the arm, the shaking amplitude of the shoulder is smaller, which means it is more difficult to take a blurred lens.

Put the camera on your left shoulder and try to find the most comfortable posture.

Look at the viewfinder with your left eye. Holding the camera in the right hand and holding the camera in the left hand can ensure the maximum stability of the camera.

Third, how to hold a telephoto camera

The telephoto lens is much heavier than usual, so you need to hold the camera in different ways.

The special telephoto lens holder is inconvenient to use, so it is better to separate or lift it.

Find your balance point and hold the camera from below.

Stand with your feet perpendicular to the subject. This is especially important here because the camera is heavy.

Press your elbows to your sides, hold the camera close to your face and exhale.

Fourth, how to hold the camera when tilting the object?

You can also lean against static objects, such as trees, walls or cars, so that you can shoot even if you are exposed for a long time without worrying about damaging the picture.

To increase stability, press your elbows to the sides and put the camera close to your face.

5. How to hold the camera while sitting?

Squatting is convenient for taking pictures of children or taking pictures at a low angle. To prevent the camera from shaking, please put your elbow on your knee.
