Using the Shake Reduction Function
to Prevent Camera Shake
The Shake Reduction function reduces camera shake that occurs when
the shutter release button is pressed. This is useful for taking pictures in
situations where camera shake is likely to occur. The Shake Reduction
function allows you to take pictures at approximately 4 steps slower
shutter speed without a risk of camera shake.
The Shake Reduction function is ideal when taking pictures in the following
situations.
• When taking pictures in dimly lit locations, such as indoors, at night,
on cloudy days and in the shade
• When taking telephoto pictures
Taking Pictures Using the Shake Reduction Function
•
The Shake Reduction function does not compensate for blurring caused by subject
movement. To take pictures of a moving subject, increase the shutter speed.
• The Shake Reduction function may not fully reduce camera shake when
taking close-up shots. In this case, it is recommended to turn off the Shake
Reduction function and use the camera with a tripod.
• The Shake Reduction function will not fully work when shooting with a very
slow shutter speed, for example when panning or shooting night scenes. In
this case, it is recommended to turn off the Shake Reduction function and use
the camera with a tripod.
