The Shake Reduction function works effectively when taking pictures in
the following situations.

on cloudy days and in the shade

• The Shake Reduction function does not compensate for blurring caused by
subject movement. To take pictures of a moving subject, increase the shutter
speed.
• The Shake Reduction function may not fully reduce camera shake when
taking close-up shots. In this case, it is recommended to turn off the Shake
Reduction function and use the camera with a tripod.
• The Shake Reduction function will not fully work when shooting with a very
slow shutter speed, for example when panning or shooting night scenes. In
this case, it is recommended to turn off the Shake Reduction function and use
the camera with a tripod.
