Digital Photography - Troubleshooting

Steadying your Digital Camera

SUMMARY: Reduce digital camera shake by following these tips to steady your camera.

If you take digital photos that suffer from blurred images, you may be experiencing "camera shake". This is caused by the camera moving while the picture is being taken - sometimes the result of not holding the digital camera steady.

If you can, try watching a professional take photographs with their digital cameras and emulate their movements. When you are out taking pictures, try holding the digital camera closer to your body. Don't let your elbows stick out - bring them in so your lower arms (below the elbow) are parallel to your body. Then, move your elbows in, as close to your chest or stomach as possible, while you are still able to look through the viewfinder. The more you can steady your arms and the less they have a chance to move while snapping photos, the greater the chances your digital camera photos will remain sharp.
