Vibration Reduction and Motion Detection Icons
The Vibration reduction option effectively reduces blur, caused by slight hand movement known
as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter
speeds.
The Motion detection option detects camera shake and subject movement with shooting, and
increases the shutter speed to reduce their effects. Motion detection does not function when
recording movies.
The Vibration reduction/Motion detection icons indicate the following:
• s: The setup menu’s (
A 101) Vibration reduction option (A 109) is set to On, and the Motion
detection option ( A 110) is set to Auto (default settings).
• q: The Vibration reduction option is set to On, and the Motion detection option is set to Off.
r: The Motion detection option is set to Auto, and the Vibration reduction option is set to
Off.
• Off: Both the Vibration reduction and Motion detection options are set to Off.
• Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
