20 10 HOLDING THE CAMERA Camera held horizontally Camera held vertically NOLLVEI3dO 1V1:13N3D For best results, be sure to hold the camera correctly as shown in the illustrations. Hold the camera firmly, with your left hand supporting the camera and lens as shown in the illustrations. • Although there are individual differences among photographers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held camera is the inverse of the focal length. For example, 1/50 of second when the focal length is 50mm, and 1/100 of second when it is 100mm. A tripod should be used for shutter speeds slower than this. • When using an ultra-telephoto lens, a tripod that is heavier than the total weight of the camera and lens is recommended to avoid camera shake.
