VC MECHANISM (Ref. Fig. 1)
VC (Vibration Compensation) is a mechanism which reduces the image blur caused by
hand-held shooting. When using the VC, pictures can be taken at shutter speeds up to a
maximum of 4 stops slower than the speed when the VC is not used.
*Based on the company’s standard measurement. Also, the correction of image blur
differs depending on the conditions during picture taking and the person using the
camera.
* How to use VC mechanism
1. Enable image blur correction with the camera settings.
*Disable the setting when VC is not used.
2. Press the shutter button halfway to verify the effect of the VC. When the shutter button
is pressed down halfway, it takes about 1 second for the VC to provide a stable image.
* The VC can be effective for hand-held shots under the following conditions:
-Dimly lit locations
-Scenes where flash photography is forbidden
-Situations where footing is uncertain
-Taking panning shots of a moving subject
* The VC may not be able to give full effect in the following cases:
-When a photograph is taken from a fast moving vehicle
-Shooting during the excessive movement of the camera
-Turn the VC switch OFF when taking pictures with the bulb setting or during long
exposures. If the VC switch is ON, the VC mechanism may introduce errors.
