How to hold your camera
In horizontal position A. Hold
the camera firmly with your
left hand, and draw your arm
close to your body.
In vortical position B.
Hold
your camera tightly to your fore¬
head with your left hand, and
draw your right arm close to
your body.
In vortical position C. Hold
your camera tightly to your fore¬
head with your left hand, raise
your right arm and draw your
left arm to your body.
As a genera] rule, your camera should
be held more firmly by the left hand
which does not release the shutter.
If you hold your camera with the
right hand—the hand which releases
the shutter — it may cause camera
movement.
Very
often,
pictures
which are not sharp are due to move¬
ment of the camera. When you focus
with the camera held horizontally
(Position A), hold the lens barrel as
illustrated in photograph.
Put the
camera on your left hand thumb and
little finger. Turn the distance scale
ring with your thumb and index
finger.
When holding the camera
vertically, some people release the
shutter with the thumb (Position B),
while others release it with the in¬
dex finger (Position C).
Position C
is more desirable for fast focusing
and shooting.
With the Honeywell
Pentax, whether held vertically or
horizontally, you see your subject
image through the taking lens, ena¬
bling you to compose, focus and shoot
with a minimum of time and effort.
