Reduce the effects of camera shake while shooting. Vibration reduction effectively reduces blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds. The effects of camera shake are reduced when recording movies, in addition to when taking still pictures.

Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
