So Salah (Wrong).


I saw this advertisement on the doors of the lifts that leads to an IT cum electronic hub in a shopping mall.  This picture is so salah (wrong)!  The first thing you learn is never to hold your DSLR this way when taking picture!

Your left palm should be placed underneath the camera to give it support.  Extend your thumb and index fingers to form a U, to fix snugly at the junction where the lens join the camera body.  This is to minimise shakes when you press on the shutter release button.  Camera shakes make blur photographs.   And the right hand should grasp firmly the right side of the camera.  Extend your index finger to engage the shutter release or to turn the dial to change camera settings.  (If you are left handed, just reverse right to left!)

Never hold the camera by grasping the sides.  when you push the shutter realease button you will force the camera to dip slightly.  Even the smallest movement will cause blurriness.  And you would think an electronic hub with experts in camera would know better than to put up such a picture!  Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.
