■Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
( to [ON].
Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator
aligns with [ON] precisely.
2 Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is
lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual
focusing and exact framing of the subject are made easier.
3 To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration reduction
ON/OFF switch
( to [OFF].
■Setting the vibration reduction mode switch &
NORMAL:The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces camera shake, making smooth panning
shots possible.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces
camera shake when taking pictures and those
from a moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens
does not automatically distinguish panning from camera shake.
Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with
[NORMAL] or [ACTIVE] precisely.
■Notes on using vibration reduction
• Wait until the image in the viewfinder stops vibrating before fully
depressing the shutter release button after you have lightly pressed the
shutter release button.
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch
to [NORMAL]. If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in
the direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the
camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced, making
smooth pans much easier.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image
in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the shutter. This is
not a malfunction.
