Image Stabilizer

• The shorter the subject distance from the

camera, the lesser the Image Stabilizer effect
will be.

• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a

blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.

• Set the STABILIZER switch to

when you are

taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to

,

the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.

• The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if

you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or
other transportation.

• The Image Stabilizer consumes more power

than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be
taken if you use the function.

• The image stabilizer operates for about two

seconds even when your finger is off the shutter
button. Do not remove the lens while the stabilizer
is in operation. This will cause a malfunction.

• With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN

7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN
II/ELAN IIE/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, and
D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during
self-timer operation.

• When shooting a still subject, it compensates for

camera shake in all directions.

• It compensates for vertical camera shake during

following shots in a horizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake
during following shots in a vertical direction.

• Using a tripod also stabilizes the image.

However, depending on the kind of tripod and
shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better
to turn off the Image Stabilizer function.

• The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held

photography and photography with a monopod.

• The image stabilizer function also operates

when the lens is used with an Extension Tube
EF12 ll or EF25 ll.

• Pictures may look distorted after being taken

depending on the camera, but this doesn't affect
shooting.

• If you set the camera’s Custom Function to

change the assigned button to operate the AF,
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press
the newly assigned AF button.
