Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer

• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.

•Set the STABILIZER switch to when you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to , the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.

•The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in the following cases:

•You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.

•You move the camera dramatically for a panning shot in Mode 1.

•You shoot using techniques other than following shots in Mode 2.

•The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the function.

•The image stabilizer operates for about two seconds even when your finger is off the shutter button. Do not remove the lens while the stabilizer is in operation. This will cause a malfunction.

•With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN 7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/ELAN II E/50/50E, REBEL2000/300, IX, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer operation.

•Using a tripod also stabilizes the image. However, depending on the kind of tripod and shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better to turn off the Image Stabilizer function.

•The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held photography and photography with a monopod.

•The image stabilizer function also operates when the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 ll or EF25 ll.

•With Extender EF1.4X II/EF2X II attached to the lens, the Image Stabilizer will work with the following cameras:

EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark lll, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1D, EOS 40D, 30D, 20D, 20Da, 10D, 5D, DIGITAL REBEL XSi/450D, DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL, D60, D30, EOS DCS1, DCS3, D2000, D6000, EOS-1V/HS, EOS-1N/DP/HS/RS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN 7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/ELAN IIE/50/50E, REBEL X/REBEL XS/500, REBEL G/500N, REBEL 2000/300, REBEL Ti/300V, REBEL T2/300X, REBEL K2/3000V, IX, IX Lite/IX7, 3000/88, 5000/888

•Pictures may look distorted after being taken depending on the camera, but this doesn't affect shooting.

•If you set the camera’s Custom Function to change the assigned button to operate the AF, the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press the newly assigned AF button.
