b Vibration 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.

Off

When [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed in the monitor (c 6). Vibration reduction is enabled in anti-shake mode (c 42) regardless of the option selected for [Vibration reduction].

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.

Off

Vibration reduction is not enabled. Set vibration reduction to [Off] when using a tripod.

jNotes on Vibration Reduction

Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the camera recovers from the standby mode or the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from play- back mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.

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