Description

 

 

Compensate camera shake that commonly occurs when shooting at

 

 

a telephoto zoom position or slow shutter speed. The camera

 

Normal

automatically detects the panning direction and only compensates

g

for vibration caused by camera shake.

(default setting)

 

 

When the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration

 

 

reduction only reduces vertical shake. If the camera is panned

 

 

vertically, vibration reduction only compensates for horizontal shake.

 

 

 

 

Active

Camera shake is automatically compensated during shooting if a

Z

comparatively large camera shake is likely to occur when

 

 

shooting from a car or under poor foothold conditions.

 

 

k Off

Vibration reduction is not enabled.

 

 

 

When using a tripod to stabilize the camera, set vibration reduction to Off.

When Normal or Active is selected, an icon for the setting is displayed on the monitor (A8).

BNotes on Vibration Reduction

Immediately after the power is turned on or the camera enters shooting mode from playback mode, wait until the monitor screen stabilizes before shooting.

Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed on the monitor screen immediately after shooting may appear blurry.

Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some situations.

When the X(Night landscape) or Night portrait scene mode is set to Tripod, the camera shake is not compensated even if Vibration reduction is set to Normal or Active.
