g Vibration Reduction
Enable or disable vibration reduction for shooting still pictures.
Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight hand movement
known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied
or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes.
Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera
during shooting.
When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed during
shooting (when Off is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed)
(A 6).
B Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s
monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• VR stands for vibration reduction.
