The effectiveness of electronic vibration reduction decreases as camera shake increases.

The image captured using electronic vibration reduction may be somewhat “grainy” in appearance.

Electronic vibration reduction does not function under the following conditions or in the following shooting modes:

-When slow sync with red-eye reduction (A41) is used.

-When exposure exceeds a certain length of time.

-When ISO sensitivity (E28) is set to any setting other than Auto.
