OO The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
OOSet the STABILIZER switch to OFF when you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to ON, the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
OOThe Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in the following cases:
•You shoot from a violently moving vehicle.
•You move the camera dramatically for a panning
shot in Mode 1.
OOThe Image Stabilizer consumes more power than
normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the function.
OOThe 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.
OOWith Extender EF2× II attached to the lens, the Image Stabilizer will work with the following cameras:
DCS3, D2000, D6000,

OOWith the
E/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX Lite/IX7, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during self- timer operation.
OO 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.
OThe stabilizer is equally effective for
Image Stabilizer effect may be reduced, however, depending on the shooting environment.
OOThe Image Stabilizer also operates when the lens is used with extension tube EF12 II or EF25 II or the extender EF1.4× III or EF2× III.
OODepending on the camera there may be image shake, such as after releasing the shutter. However,
this does not affect shooting.
