Vibration Reduction
Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight hand
movement
known
as
camera shake,
that
commonly
occurs when shooting
with
zoom applied
or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in
all
shooting modes.
Vibration reduction
is
enabled in anti-shake
mode
(~
43) regardless
of
the
option
selected for [Vibration reduction].
On (default setting)
Vibration
reduction
is
enabled
when
shooting
still pictures and
recording
movies.
Camera detects and factors
out
panning
movements
when
reducing
camera shake.
When
camera
is
panned
horizontally,
for
example,
vibration
reduction
reduces
only
vertical shake.
If
camera
is
panned
vertically,
vibration
reduction
affects
only
horizontal shake.
Off
Vibration
reduction
is
not
enabled.
When vibration reduction
is
enabled, the current setting
is
displayed
in
the
monitor
during shooting (when [Off]
is
selected,
an
icon for
the
current setting
is
not
displayed in the monitor)
(~

Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds
to
activate after the power
is
turned on, or the camera
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
• Due to characteristics
of
the vibration reduction function, images displayed
in
the camera's
monitor
immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
• Turn vibration reduction
off
when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects
of
camera
shake
in
some
situations.
•
[VRj
