Not trial and error, but careful testing.

Set up a solid tripod and compare the same basic composition at various shutter speeds hand held and on the Tripod. When on the tripod be sure to turn off the Image Stabilization feature.

Many never seem to test their gear so they know how to get the best performance. Digital makes it so much easier than film. Near instant feedback and the ease of testing really help. You don't have to wait a week or so for the Kodachrome to come back in the mail.

One thing I have found that helps me is actually writing down the results I expect and when checking the results writing down what I am seeing. Too easy to mis-remember and change/mis-interpret reality later as a result.
