LEICA MP 0.72 Rangefinder Camera (Silver) - Handbuch (Seite 80)

Holding the camera correctly
For sharp, blur-free pictures, the camera should
be held as steadily and comfortably as possible.
To ensure suitable secure "three point support”
for the LEICA MP, hold the camera with the right
hand, with the index finger on the shutter release
button and the thumb behind the quick wind
lever lifted into its ready position. The left-hand
either supports the lens from below, ready for
fast focusing adjustments, or is around the
whole camera.
Holding the camera against the forehead and
cheek provides additional support. For portrait
format pictures, turn the LEICA MP to the left.
The hands remain in the same position as for
pictures in landscape format.
However, you can also turn it to the right. In this
case, it may be advantageous to release the
shutter with the thumb.
Note:
As a practical accessory, we recommend the
Handgrip M, which holds the camera extremely
steadily and keeps your hands free when carry-
ing the LEICA MP (Order no. 14 405).
