My hand rests instinctively under the lens with fingers ready to adjust aperture and focus. I did laugh when I saw the example image of how to hold a camera in one of the late film body manuals, both hands gripping the body like a steering wheel, makes you wonder if the designers of the gadgets are actually photographers. > I've never bumped the body wheel on the Canon 10D or *istDS, but > I have bumped the aperture ring by turning it accidentally when > I meant to grab the focus ring on cameras so equipped. I'm constantly bumping the aperture dial on the *ist D, I often have the camera over my shoulder whilst I'm mobile and the dial rubs on my jeans. Never had this problem with film cameras that used plain old aperture ring control over the years. > I never shut my camera off when I'm out taking pictures.
