Can't hold phone steady when taking a photograph

I can't hold my new phone steady when taking a photograph I noticed it last night But today it seems worse, much worse Like shakey hand syndrome Do you manage to hold your phone steady when you take a picture

That's a familiar feeling. It would be nice to have still hands when taking a photo

My hands get shaky sometimes when I am over caffeinated. I think you can take several photos eventually one should be perfect despite the shakes or try leaning on something.

@Ineeddentures Quantity improves quality. I do not know a lot of cameras that can do voice shooting. Some GoPros can I think.

Oh yes I could shoot the photos on a burst and choose the best one I never thought of that at all I found out the camera won't do voice shooting

Yes, my hands don/t shake. Maybe you could try a tripod. They do make them for cellphones.

@Ineeddentures That would be cool, if you could get it to work..I imagine some of those cellphone tripods fold up pretty small.

@snowy22315 One phone I had worked from voice command Surely this new phone will also work like that It's meant to be state of the art.

I think it might be problematic for me Carrying a tripod on a bike might not be easy I am exploring trying to get the camera to work from voice command

Stop drinking the heavy stuff and you'll be able to hold the phone I was typing really fast on my keyboard today and one finger suddenly refused to move and it took a second to get back on track, So do I have paralyzed finger syndrome, I think we all could come up with some new diseases don't cha think

I definitely have a bit of a shakey hand Yvonne said she noticed it when I was chopping onions She was scared I would lose a finger Typing can cause a finger or two to sort of cramp up

Holding ones breath I should know about breathing techniques to steady the hand when taking aim I didn't often enough on the army when aiming my weapon at a target. And so almost always hit it
