V CAMERA HANDLING

Proper

handling

of

your

Canon EF

is

a very

important

technique

in

picture

taking

.

Probably

more

pictures

are

lost

through

poor

handl

ing

than

for

any

other

reason .

To

take

full

adva!1tage

of

the

EF's

fast

operation,

you

must

learn where each

control

is

instinctively.

Before

loading

f i

lm

into

the

camera,

practice

focusing,

releasing

the

shutter

and

using

the

winding

lever. A

few

minutes

of

practice

now

will

payoff

later

in

fewer

missed shots.

A Carrying the Camera

Attach

the

Canon

EF's

neckstrap

and

adjust

it

to

a

length

which

feels

"right"

to

you

when

the

camera

is

around

your

neck

.

To

avoid

dropping

the

camera

accidentally,

you

should

always

carry

the

camera

by

its strap.

Carry

the

EF

around

your

neck,

hang

it

over

your

shoulder,

or

wrap

the

neckstrap

around

your

hand.

For

comfortable

viewing

and

to

keep

extraneous

light

from

the

viewfinder,

the

rubber

eyecup

should

be

attached

and

kept

on

the

eyepiece

permanently

. Use a lens

hood

at all

times

to

prevent

ghost images and

flare

.

Also,

you

can

protect

the

front

surface

of

the

lens

from

dust

or

fingerprints

by

attaching

a

UV

(Ultraviolet)

filter

. When

you

are

taking

pictures,

it

is

a

good

idea

to

take
