Vibration Reduction
Set the vibration reduction function for taking still pictures and movies. Use to
correct blur, which is caused by the slight hand movements known as camera
shake that commonly occur when shooting at the telephoto zoom position or at
slow shutter speeds.
When the camera is stabilized for shooting with a tripod, set vibration reduction to
Off.
When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed during
shooting (

displayed.

the display stabilizes before shooting.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed on the monitor
immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
