g Vibration Reduction
Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight hand movement
known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied
or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes.
Turn vibration reduction off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during
shooting.
When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed in the
monitor during shooting (when off is selected, an icon for the current setting is not
displayed in the monitor) (
A 6).

Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s
monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• “VR” stands for vibration reduction.
On (default setting)
Vibration reduction is enabled when taking pictures and recording movies.
Camera detects and factors out panning movements when reducing camera
shake. When camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction
reduces only vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction
affects only horizontal shake.
Off
Vibration reduction is not enabled.
