b 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 [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed in the
monitor (c 8).
j Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the camera recovers from the
standby mode or the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from
playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in
some situations.
• [VR] stands for vibration reduction.
u AF Assist
If [Auto] (default setting) is selected, AF-assist illumination will be used to
assist the focus operation when the subject is poorly lit.
Note that for some scene modes, AF-assist illumination turns off
automatically.
To disable this function, choose [Off]. When set to [Off], the camera may be
unable to focus if lighting is poor.
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. Set vibration reduction to [Off] when using a
tripod.
Off
Vibration reduction is not enabled.
