Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer
• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
• Set the STABILIZER switch to when you
are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to
, the image stabilizer function may introduce
errors.
• The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective
in the following cases:
• You move the camera for a panned shot.
• You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.
• Compared to using a normal non-IS lens, fewer
shots can be taken when you use an Image
Stabilizer lens because more power is
consumed.
• The image stabilizer operates for about two
seconds even when your finger is off the shutter
button. Do not remove the lens while the
stabilizer is in operation.This will cause a
malfunction.
•With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, 30/33/Elan7/7E,
30V/33V/Elan7N/7NE, Elan ll/Elan ll E/50/50 E,
300/Rebel2000, IX, and D30, the Image
Stabilizer will not work during self-timer
operation.
• When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
should be turned off to save battery power.
• The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held
photography and photography with a monopod.
• The Image Stabilizer function also operates
when the lens is used with the EF12 II or EF25
II Extension Tube, and the EF1.4X II or EF2X II
Extender.
• 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.
