g Vibration Reduction
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.
When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed in the
monitor during shooting (when [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is
not displayed in the monitor) (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.
• Turn vibration reduction [Off] when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• [VR] stands for vibration reduction.
On (default setting)
Vibration reduction is enabled when taking pictures and recording movies. Camera
detects and factors out panning movements when reducing camera shake. When
camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only
vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only
horizontal shake.
Response priority
The time required to record pictures, after the shutter-release button is pressed, is
kept to a minimum. With priority on shutter release, this mode prevents lost photo
opportunities. Vibration reduction is nearly the same as when [On] is selected.
Off
Vibration reduction is not enabled.
