gVibration Reduction

Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes.

When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed in the monitor during shooting (when [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed in the monitor) (A6).

On (default setting)

Vibration reduction is enabled when taking pictures and recording movies. Camera detects and factors out panning movements when reducing camera shake. When camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only horizontal shake.

Set vibration reduction to [Off] when using a tripod.

Off

Vibration reduction is not enabled.
