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.
Set
Vibration reduction to Off
when
using a
tripod
to
stabilize the camera
during
shooting.
When vibration reduction
is
enabled,
the
current setting
is
displayed
during
shooting (when Off
is
selected, an icon for
the
current setting
is
not
displayed)
(~
9,23).
On (default setting)
Vibration reduction
is
enabled when taking 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.

Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a
few
seconds
to
activate after the

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 appo(lr blurry.

to
completely
eliminate the effects
of
camera shake in some
situations.
