g Vibration Reduction
Specify the vibration reduction setting for taking 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.
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)
(A8).
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.
D Compensating Movies with Electronic VR
To reduce the effects of camera shake when recording movies other than time-lapse movies, enable
Electronic VR (A84) from the movie menu (A82).

vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only
horizontal shake.
