Using Vibration Reduction: Notes
When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release
button
halfway and wait for the image in the viewfinder
to
stabilize before
pressing the shutter-release
button
the rest
of
the way down.
When vibration reduction
is
active, the image in the viewfinder may
jiggle after the shutter
is
released,
but
this does
not
indicate a
malfunction.
Slide
the
vibration reduction mode switch
to
NORMAL
for panning
shots.
In
NORMAL
mode, vibration reduction applies only
to
motion
that
is
not
part
of
a pan. If the camera
is
panned horizontally, for
example, vibration reduction will be applied only
to
vertical shake.
Do
not
turn the camera
off
or remove the lens while vibration reduction
is
in effect.
If
power
to
the lens
is
cut while vibration reduction
is
on, the
lens may rattle when shaken,
but
this does
not
indicate a malfunction.
The rattling will end when the lens
is
reattached and the camera turned
on.
If
the camera
is
equipped
with
a built-in flash, vibration reduction will
be disabled while the flash charges.
In
the
case
of
cameras equipped
with
an
AF-ON
button, vibration
reduction will
not
be performed when the
button
is
pressed.
Select OFF when the camera
is
mounted on a tripod. Note, however,
that
ON
is
recommended
if
the
tripod
head
is
unsecured
or
the camera
is
mounted on a monopod.
