Use external shutter release when shooting with tripod

If you are taking a picture with a camera mounted on a tripod, you should use the external shutter release (cable or infrared) rather than the shutter release button of the camera itself.

The shutter is opened once the button is pressed, and the release of the button will usually cause the camera to move a bit, making your image less sharp.
