3. When using a zoom lens, shoot at wide angle and move closer to the subject.
Moving the zoom control towards telephoto can cause camera shake when using slower shutter speeds. So it is recommended to move closer to the subject and zoom towards the wide angle end of the lens to prevent camera shake.
