reduction only reduces vertical shake. If the camera is panned

shake.

_1_ Notes on Vibration Reduction
It may take a few second sto activate vibration red uction after the power is turned on or the ca mera
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 the camera shake is extremely hig h or low, pictu re compensation with electronic VR may not
be possible even when On (hybrid} is set,
When the shutter speed is fast or extremely slow, electronic VR may not operate even when On
(hybrid) is set.
When electronic VR in On (hybrid} operates, saving the picture takes longer than normal, because
when the picture is shot, the shutter is released twice automatically to perform picture
compensation. Shutter sound (_'_76) is heard only once. One frame is recorded.
