Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM Camera Lens User Manual


 
ENG-11
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when you
are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to
ON, the image stabilizer function may introduce
errors.
The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective
in the following cases:
• You shoot from a violently moving vehicle.
• You move the camera dramatically for a
panning shot in Mode 1.
• You shoot using techniques other than
following shots in Mode 2.
The Image Stabilizer consumes more power
than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be
taken if you use the function.
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, ELAN 7E/ELAN
7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN
II/ELAN II E/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX
Lite/IX7, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not
work during self-timer operation.
Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer
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 also operates when the
lens is used with extension tube EF12 II or EF25
II or the extender EF1.4× II.
The Image Stabilizer also operates when the
EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM or EF400mm f/2.8L IS
USM is used with the extender EF2× II.
