x Notes
• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs
when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended that
you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilization function
of either the lens or the camera.
• When you turn off the camera, it may initialize the image stabilizer function. The camera will
vibrate for this operation, but this is not a malfunction.
• A red q displayed on the monitor indicates the failure of the image stabilizer function. If
you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your Olympus Authorized Service
Center.
