Vibration reduction

Select the vibration reduction option for shooting.

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

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

Option	Description
	The effects of camera shake are reduced optically using a lens-
	shift method. Additional image processing with electronic
	vibration reduction is applied to further reduce the effects of
	camera shake with recording of still images taken under the
VOn (hybrid)	following conditions:
	• When flash is disabled.
	• When a shutter speed slower than 1/60 seconds is used.
	• When Self-timeris disabled.
	• When Single is selected for the Continuous setting.
	• When ISO sensitivity is set to 200 or less.
gOn (default setting)	The vibration reduction using the lens-shift method only is
	enabled.
Off	Vibration reduction is not enabled.

The current vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor during shooting (A6). When Off is selected, no icon is displayed.

BNotes About Vibration Reduction

•Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the image of the monitor stabilizes before shooting.

•Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.

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

•Image processing with electronic vibration reduction may not perform as expected with very slight or extreme camera shake, even when On (hybrid) is selected.

•Image processing with electronic vibration reduction is not enabled at fast or extremely slow shutter speeds, even when On (hybrid) is selected.

•When On (hybrid) is selected and electronic vibration reduction is activated, the shutter is

automatically released twice when an image is taken to allow for image processing. Therefore, the time required to record images increases. Shutter sound (E60) can be heard only when the shutter is released the first time and a single image will be recorded.
