I suppose some clever person will say "The same way I hold a pencil..."!

Nevertheless I have a way to do it which I thought some might find useful and others might already be doing. Basically, I hold it the same way I used to hold my old medium format camera. I put the strap around my neck and pull the screen out to horizontal and use it as a waist-level finder. I operate the dials in the normal way but I trip the shutter with my thumb.

I find that this makes for very steady shooting but I have not yet tried it with tele lenses.

Anyone else doing this?

Sans the strap, that's how I hold any mirrorless camera with a tilt screen when I'm waist level shooting.

That's how I hold my NEX 5R, with or without the strap. I don't have the EVF. With tele lenses (FD 100mm and 70-210mm), I still generally use this hold, though with the 70-210mm I sometimes hold it up to my face.
