b 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 reduc-
tion can be used in all modes.
When [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed in the
monitor (c 6). Vibration reduction is enabled in anti-shake mode (c 38)
regardless of the option selected for [Vibration reduction].
u AF Assist
If [Auto] is selected, 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 illumina-
tion turns off automatically.
To disable this function, choose [Off]. When set to [Off], the camera may be
unable to focus if lighting is poor.

Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the camera recovers from the
standby mode, the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from playback
mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
• 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. Set vibration reduction to [Off]
when using a tripod.
