How to avoid camera shake: try it yourself

1. Shutter Rule

Set shutter to 1/focal length (e.g., 50mm → 1/60s min).

2. Lean Support

Rest elbow on table; shoot at slower shutter (e.g., 1/15s).

3. Breath + Click

Exhale slowly; press shutter at end of breath.

4. String Stabilizer

Tie string to camera; step on end; pull taut for stability.

5. Self-Timer Test

Use 2-sec timer; avoid shake from pressing button.
