When the Focal Length Cannot Be Automatically Detected

The Shake Reduction function operates by obtaining the lens information such as focal length.

If the camera uses a DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens, the lens information is automatically obtained when the Shake Reduction function is activated. If you use a lens whose information such as focal length cannot be automatically obtained (p.337), the [Input Focal Length] setting screen appears when the camera is turned on with the Shake Reduction function set to k(On).

Set the focal length manually in the [Input Focal Length] setting screen.
