WikipediaIf you don't have a tripod while taking pictures and can't hold the camera steady when you click the shutter release, try taking pictures with the timer on (set to something low, like 3 seconds). This helps alot, as it lets me recover from the shake after clicking the shutter-release, and hold the camera steady.It's not a trick everyone needs, but for the twitchier among us, this is a great way to avoid shaking the camera when you press the shutter down.
