Vibration Reduction
Reduce the effects of camera shake while shooting. Vibration reduction effectively
reduces blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, which
commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds.
The effects of camera shake are reduced when recording movies, in addition to
when taking still pictures.
Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera
during shooting.
The current vibration reduction setting is indicated by an icon when shooting
(A6). No icon is displayed when Off is selected.
B Notes About Vibration Reduction
• After turning on the camera or after switching from playback mode to shooting mode, wait for the
shooting mode screen to be displayed completely before taking pictures.
• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s
monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• When the Night landscape or Night portrait scene mode is set to Tripod, vibration reduction is
turned off.
