Zenith PhotoCourse

Part 2: Hold your DSLR the right way

Zenith photographer Frank tells you how to hold your camera correctly in Part 2 of our Zenith PhotoCourse.

I bet you can't wait to start shooting with your brand spanking new DSLR. But before you do that, what'ya say we learn a thing or two about how to properly hold your camera, eh?
You see, how you hold your camera affects your shooting because if you're comfortable holding it, shooting becomes a breeze, and vice versa. Holding your camera the right way also helps you avoid blurriness in your pictures (camera shake) as a result of unsteady hands, and makes shooting quicker and more accurate as well.
I'm sure many of you start to get into photography after buying yourself a handy dandy digital compact camera and using it for a couple of years, before deciding to go for a DSLR. So naturally, some of you would hold your brand new DSLR the way you held your digital compact.
Because the shape, size and weight of a DSLR differ greatly from a compact camera, you will need to hold it in certain ways to make sure you're comfortable with the DSLR and that your hands are stable enough to hold your much heavier new toy.
Allow me to show you how...

YOUR RIGHT HAND

The correct way to hold your camera

When handling your DSLR, make sure that your thumb is on the back of your camera. This provides better support and a firmer hold. Besides a better grip, you can also use your right thumb to navigate through the buttons and dials located conveniently within reach of the thumb, on the back of the camera (e.g. shutter dial or the D-Pad).
