Tutorial-Basic Photography 3Basic Photography Step 3-Frame a Photograph To prevent blurred photographs caused by unsteady hands (camera shake), hold the camera steadily in both hands, with your elbows propped lightly against your torso for support. Hold the handgrip in your right hand and cradle the camera body or lens with your left. The optional MB-D100 multi function battery pack is equipped with a shutter-release button for taking photographs in portrait (tall) orientation. The recommended stance for taking photographs is with one foot a half pace in front of the other and your upper body stable. Using the Diopter Control When operating the diopter control with your eye to the viewfinder, care should be taken to avoid accidentally putting your fingers or fingernails in your eye. Viewfinder Focus The viewfinder is equipped with diopter adjustment to accommodate individual differences in vision. To adjust viewfinder focus, slide the diopter adjustment control up and down until the focus brackets in the viewfinder are in sharp focus. If necessary, you can remove the rubber viewfinder eyepiece cup when adjusting diopter; when replacing the cup, the lettered face should be down. Diopter can be adjusted in the range -2 m-1 to +1 m-1. Corrective lenses (available separately; 180) allow diopters of -5 m-1 to +3 m-1. The rubber viewfinder eyepiece cup must be removed when using diopter adjustment lenses. 30
