Press the dbutton Mz (Setup menu) (A135) MVibration reduction

Specify the vibration reduction setting for taking still pictures.

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.

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

On (default setting)

Vibration reduction is enabled when shooting still pictures. 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.

When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed during shooting (when Off is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed) (A8).

BNotes on 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 display stabilizes before shooting.

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

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

DCompensating Movies with Electronic VR

To reduce the effects of camera shake when recording movies other than time-lapse movies, enable Electronic VR (A84) from the movie menu (A82).
