Taking Pictures Using the Shake Reduction Function
Shake Reduction
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 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
• 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 that the camera be used with a tripod.
• The Shake Reduction function will not fully work when shooting
with a very slow shutter speed, for example when shooting a
moving subject or night scenes. In this case, it is recommended
that the camera be used with a tripod.
