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 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.

●The 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.

•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, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX Lite/IX7, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer operation.

●When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer should be turned off to save battery power.

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

●The Image Stabilizer also operates when the

lens is used with extension tube EF12 II or EF25 II or the extender EF1.4⋅ II.

●The Image Stabilizer also operates when the

EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM or EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM is used with the extender EF2⋅ II.
