Image Stabilizer

When shooting a still subject, it compensates for
camera shake in all directions.
It compensates for vertical camera shake during
following shots in a horizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake during
following shots in a vertical direction.
When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
should be turned off to save battery power.
Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will
be as effective as during hand-held shooting.
However, depending on the shooting environment,
the Image Stabilizer effect may be less effective.
The image stabilizer function also operates when the
lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 II or EF25 II.
If you set the camera’s Custom Function to
change the assigned button to operate the AF,
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press
the newly assigned AF button.
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective
if you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or
other transportation.
The Image Stabilizer consumes more power
than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be
taken if you use the function.
