When you take a picture with a camera, it is very important to hold it steady.

If your camera moves when you depress the shutter button, your photos will be blurry and unsharp (Sometimes you may actually want this effect).

Here are a few tips to help you keep your camera steady when you take a photograph:
1. Keep your elbows close to your body
2. Take a deep breath before you press the shutter button
3. Stand against a wall or pole for support
4. Place your camera on a wall or table.

Remember, a steady camera usually means sharp photos!
