Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF
switch
ON: The effects of camera shake
are reduced while the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway
and also at the instant the shutter
is released. Because vibration is
reduced in the viewfinder, auto/
manual focusing and exact
framing of the subject are easier.
OFF: The effects of camera shake
are not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to ON
and choose a vibration reduction mode with the
vibration reduction mode switch.
NORMAL: The vibration reduction
mechanism primarily reduces the
effects of camera shake. The
effects of camera shake are also
reduced with horizontal and
vertical panning.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism
reduces the effects of camera shake, such as that
which occurs when taking pictures from a moving
vehicle, whether it be normal or more intense
camera shake. In this mode, camera shake is not
automatically distinguished from panning motion.
