Hi Marilyn,

 

Try these tips;

1.Hang your camera bag down the middle of the tripod to help dampen vibration (beware of wind)

2. Use your two second or ten second timer for the image.

3. If you are having an issue with the mirror then use the mirror pre-fire function if it has one

4. Use a wooden tripod instead of metal. They transmit less vibration.

5. Make sure that your rubber or cork pads are in good shape on the tripod mount bracket.

6. Make sure that the tripod head you are using is rated 30% over the TOTAL weight of your camera/lens combo.

7. When shooting in the field use spike feet on the bottom of the tripod not the rubber feet.
8 Some cameras do have a remote control (wireless) but try your TV clicker first if you have an IR receiver on your camera.

 

 

Thats all my little brain can come up with for now....

Subject: camera shake

Even when using a sturdy tripod, I find I get camera shake with my digital camera.  There is no connection for a shutter release cord?  Is there a remote control that can be used so the camera doesn't have to be touched when releasing the shutter?
