when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended
that you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [Image Stabilizer] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function switch, priority is given to the lens
side setting.
• When priority is being given to the lens side image stabilization and the camera side is set
to [S-IS AUTO], [S-IS1] is used instead of [S-IS AUTO].
• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
When using a lens with the image stabilization switch
Set the image stabilizer of the camera and the image stabilization switch of the lens. When
you do not use the image stabilizer, set both of the functions on the camera and the lens to
off.
