g Vibration Reduction

Enable or disable vibration reduction for shooting still pictures.
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.

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.

Turn vibration reduction [Off] when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some

situations.

[VR] stands for vibration reduction.

Using Electronic VR with Movies

To reduce the effects of camera shake when recording movies, enable [Electronic VR] (

A 58) from

the movie menu (

A 56).

h AF Assist

Enable or disable AF-assist illumination.

On (default setting)

Vibration reduction is enabled when shooting still pictures. 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.

Auto (default setting)

AF-assist illumination will be used to assist the focus operation when the subject is
poorly lit. Note that for some scene modes, AF-assist illumination turns off
automatically.

Off

Disable this function. The camera may be unable to focus if lighting is poor.
