Basic Camera Setup
Vibration Reduction
Specify the vibration reduction setting for shooting still images. Vibration
reduction effectively corrects blur that commonly occurs when shooting with
zooming or at slow shutter speeds. Set vibration reduction to Off when using a
tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
The vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the monitor during shooting
(A 8, 21) (When it is set to Off, no icon is displayed).
d button M z (Setup menu) (A 104) M Vibration reduction
V On (hybrid)
Image-sensor shift vibration reduction reduces the effects of camera shake.
Additionally, electronic vibration reduction is used to process images and remove
the effects of camera shake in the following situations.
• When the flash does not fire
• When the shutter speed is slower than 1/60 second (at the maximum wide-angle
position) or 1/125 second (at the maximum telephoto position)
• When Self-timer is disabled
• When Continuous is set to Single
• When ISO sensitivity is set to 200 or less
g On (default setting)
Image-sensor shift vibration reduction reduces the effects of camera shake.
k Off
Vibration reduction is disabled.
B 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 on the camera’s
monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
•
Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some situations.
• When set to On (hybrid), electronic vibration reduction may not reduce the effects of camera
shake if the amount of vibration is very small or very large.
• When set to On (hybrid), electronic vibration reduction does not function if shutter speed is fast
or very slow.
• When set to On (hybrid), the camera automatically releases the shutter two times for each shot
and processes the image, therefore it takes more time to save captured images. The Shutter
sound (A 115) will be heard only once. Only one image is saved.
D Using Vibration Reduction with Movies
Vibration reduction for movie recording can be set with Electronic VR (A 85) in the movie menu
(A 82).
