Hurray, At least one Hog recognizes the problems that us Seniors may experience. In my case is a continually sore almost 80 year old back that makes bending to use a tripod painful so I very seldom use one and instead substitute higher shutter speeds and ISO.
PS--I don't do portraits!

Try extending your tripod so that VF is at eye height?

Without touching the variations attending to the dissection of words such as "grip, hold, support, caress, and fondle", as they apply to pointing the camera at what you wish to memorialize in image,
I will add to the comments about breath:
1. deep breath and exhale.
2. deep breath and exhale about 1/3 and lock/hold exhalation
3. press the trigger, uh, I mean button.
4. Commence breathing normally.
There's also (similar to shooting) some manipulations using the strap
which are helpful:
better a picture, though, than a thousand words. (imho)

This is sad to me that no grand kids were interested. My Grandfather was a photojournalist and died before I was old enough to learn about photography from him. I can only imagine, and I often do, what he would have taught me, and how impressed he would be with today's digital cameras!
To the OP. I will have to pull out my camera and see, as I am not sure.

I know the feeling, I bought a half dozen little Fuji Bridge Superzooms to be Christmas presents for Kids/Grandkids before asking if anyone would be interested...no one was. Rather than give them something that was unwanted and would be tossed in a drawer or back of the closet, I put them on a shelf a bought other Christmas gifts. Still haven't figured out what to do with them, guess Ebay will be their destination. When I was a kid cameras with 30 to 50X zooms, IBIS, full auto to full manual didn't exist, they were all mechanical, but I loved photography, Kids/Grandkids are not interested at all...…...

Squeezing the trigger is the reason I have 1/2 press off. Just could never get used to it.

Gee, that sounds just like I learned how to shoot a rifle or shotgun. Next best hobby to photography except after the initial investment. I shoot more photos than shells.

I gather you haven't used a rifle with a set trigger?
