Movies” (p.97).

fully.
The picture is taken.
Taking Pictures Using the Shake Reduction Function
To activate the Shake Reduction preview button, you need to set
Shake Reduction to On on the [

for setting, refer to “Setting the Shake Reduction for Still Pictures”
(p.98). Shake Reduction is set to On in the default settings.
If you press the Shake Reduction preview button, while the Shake
Reduction is set to On on the
[
A Rec.Mode] menu, the shake
reduction function is activated even in Playback mode, in Voice

press the Shake Reduction preview button unless necessary.
Just by pressing the shutter release button fully, you can take a compensated

the compensated image is not displayed on the LCD monitor.
