When the camera is powered up with Shake Reduction turned on and a manual lens mounted, it will ask you for
the focal length of the lens so it knows how much SR to apply when the camera moves. Use the left/right
directional keys on the back of the camera to select the proper focal length and press OK. If you're using a z oom
then try to choose a focal length that's as close to what you'll actually shoot with as possible. For example, if
you're using an 80- 200 z oom at around the halfway point, choose 135mm as the focal length:

You won't see this screen if you turn on SR with the camera already powered up. You can get to this screen by
going through the menu screens (it's just about the last item on the "record" menu), but I find it quicker just to turn
the camera off and then on again.

And now you're ready to shoot some beautiful photographs with that manual lens!
