Some people (me) when they are closing in on their seventh decade, can no longer hold things steady, or at all sometimes. Ferinstance, try holding a coin steady, any size, by it's edge, between thumb and forefinger. Can with my left, can't with my right. The harder I squeeze, the harder it wiggles, thus the lessor amount of time before I either drop it or catch it flat.
With the camera, inserting or removing the SD cards is my tell. Have to pull it halfway out, then reposition my digits to the big flat sides. Just beginning is the inability to hold a camera and lens steady on a target. Not too bad until I let the breath out half way and stop. Trying to stop the wiggles only makes it worse. All hail shake reduction. I use it all the time, even when the dogs are running full tilt.
