I have suffered from age related Essential Tremor (with intent) for a number of years now.
And pressing buttons and making fine movements like firing a shutter are problematic. and writing near impossible.
However medication only partially helps, whereas Alcohol works rather better ( but I am not a drinker)
Using two hands to accomplish almost any task helps with fine movement control,
I have developed a way of holding a camera, which might seem odd, but involves firing the camera with the index fingers of both hands.
Any one with tremor problems might find using this technique helpful. ( though tremors and their causes vary enormously).
This shot was taken at 1/20 second and I have managed others at 1/10 and below.
