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 shooting modes.
When [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed in the
monitor (
6). Vibration reduction is enabled in anti-shake mode (
regardless of the option selected for [Vibration reduction].

Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the camera recovers from the
standby mode or the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from play-
back 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.
Response priority
The time required to record pictures, after the shutter-release button is
pressed, is kept to a minimum. With priority on shutter release, this mode pre-
vents lost photo opportunities. Vibration reduction is nearly the same as when
[On] is selected.
Off
Vibration reduction is not enabled. Set vibration reduction to [Off] when using
a tripod.
