Setting up a camera and tripod

It is important to properly set up the tripod to ensure accurate shooting and the sharpest images possible. First, extend the legs of the tripod away from the centre support so that the tripod evenly rests on all three legs on a flat surface, such as a table. To get the best shot, be sure to position the tripod at the recommended distance for taking pictures. Next, extend the adjustable legs to the desired height by loosening the clamps along the length of each leg and pulling them out to the correct length. Check to make sure that all of the legs are at the same length and it's even. Then tighten the clamps so that the legs stay secure and stable. Attach the base of the camera head to the tripod. To do this, screw the post, which is located in the centre of the head, into the hole base at the bottom of the camera. The tripod usually has a moveable base, so you can attach this to the camera and then attach the camera to the tripod. Adjust the tripod head to the desired angle using the pivoting handle attached. Make sure that it is balanced properly - by checking the spirit level and getting the bubble in the middle to prevent the camera and the tripod from falling forward.
