appearance.
• Electronic vibration reduction does not function under the following conditions or in the
following shooting modes:
- When slow sync with red-eye reduction ( A44) is used.
- When exposure exceeds a certain length of time.
- When ISO sensitivity ( E42) is set to any setting other than Auto.

Electronic Vibration Reduction
When Electronic VR in the setup menu is set to Auto and flash mode ( A55) is set to c (Off) or
d (Slow sync), the w icon may be displayed in the monitor. When shooting conditions are likely
to be affected by camera shake while w is displayed, the camera reduces the effects of camera
shake on images before recording them.
