To infinity and beyond!

You'll get that sometimes when it doesn't register like it would normally with the camera.

As people have said, steady yourself against a wall, or steady your arms on a table/etc etc. Bring the camera to you, don't move your head to the camera. Bring your elbows in to your chest. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Get an IS lens!

Pointless anecdote - a friend of mine who is a photo journalist lost a lot of work when digital and image stabilization came out. Before then he had a particular talent at staying steady - he could manage, while backed upped against a wall, 1/8 second shutter speeds with big portrait lenses (70-200mm kind of size). Then when IS - everyone could do that.

lolwut?

if your with a canon, its called mirror lockup(c-fn/custom function) and then use delay as the drive mode.

works as;
when you press the shutter, mirror goes up, camera counts down from 2 secs then opens the shutter and takes the pic, closes mirror and shutter again ready for another pic.

im not sure if the lower xxxd's do that, but my 30D def does, was just using it :)

His problem isn't mirror bounce. It's that when he hits the shutter, his hand jostles the camera. Shake from the mirror isn't a serious problem at the lengths of time he's going for here.

yea i figured that much, i was just responding to>>161703r.e him mentioning the delay between shutter and picture.

of course it does actually have nothing to do with op's problem.

guess that null and voids my statement...

Yeah, that guy was suggesting the op use the self-timer function (in a sarcastic sort of way)
