The art of holding a small camera steady is this - the downward force on the shutter button needs to be cancelled out by an equal upwards force against the bottom of the camera. So, hold the camera in a pincer grip with your thumb pressing the camera bottom upwards. Don't be tempted to shoot one-handed . See the instant improvement. Incidentally, the really nice thing about the old ME-II winder was that the shutter release was a mostly horizontal squeeze against the grip, and not a downward press across the optical axis. ME Super shots were always sharper with the winder attached.
