Preventing Camera Shake during
Shutter Release
The Shake Reduction function reduces camera shake that occurs when
the shutter release button is pressed. This is useful for taking pictures in
situations where camera shake is likely to occur. The Shake Reduction
function allows you to take pictures at approximately 4 steps slower
shutter speed without the risk of the camera shake.
The Shake Reduction function is ideal when taking pictures in the following
situations.
When taking pictures in dimly lit locations, such as indoors, at night,
on cloudy days and in the shade
When taking telephoto pictures
The Shake Reduction function can be used to reduce horizontal and
vertical camera shake or keep the image level.
Using the Shake Reduction Function
The Shake Reduction function does not compensate for blurring caused by
subject movement. To take pictures of a moving subject, increase the shutter
speed.
The Shake Reduction function may not fully reduce camera shake when
taking close-up shots. In this case, it is recommended that the Shake
Reduction function be turned off and the camera be used with a tripod.
The Shake Reduction function will not fully work when shooting with a slower
shutter speed, for example when shooting a moving subject or night scenes.
In this case, it is recommended that the Shake Reduction function be turned
off and the camera be used with a tripod.
