Vibration Reduction

When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button

halfway and wait for the image in the viewfinder to stabilize before
pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.

When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may

jiggle after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a
malfunction.

When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to

motion that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned
horizontally, for example, vibration reduction will be applied only to
vertical shake), making it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in
a wide arc.

If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will

be disabled while the flash charges.

Vibration reduction is generally recommended when the camera is

mounted on a tripod, although you may prefer to turn it off
depending on shooting conditions and the type of tripod.
