How do you get a steady hand while using a camera?

Answer:

Some tricks:

  1. Hold something heavy together with the camera while you take the picture
  2. Squeeze the top and bottom of the camera at the same time with your index finger on the trigger (the top of the camera) and your thumb on the bottom. Think of squeezing your fingers together not of pushing down on the shutter.
  3. Lean the camera against something (a wall, a post a door opening...)
  4. Lean yourself against something and hold the camera against your forehead with three points of contact between yourself and the camera. Keeping your elbows tight against your body. Hold the camera with both hands.
