# Caution
The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that

recommended that you use a tripod.
When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].
When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilizer
function of either the lens or the camera.
You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
The image stabilizer will not activate at shutter speeds of over 2 seconds.
If the internal temperature of the camera exceeds the specifi ed temperature, the
image stabilizer is deactivated and the image stabilizer icon lights red on the monitor.
