Image Stabilizer

You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF
mode.
This function provides optimal image stabilization
depending on shooting conditions (such as
shooting still subjects and following shots).
1
Set the STABILIZER switch to ON.
If you are not going to use the image stabilizer
● ●
function, set the switch to OFF.
2
When you press the shutter button halfway,
the Image Stabilizer will start operating.
Make sure the image in the viewfinder is stable,
● ●
then press the shutter button the rest of the way
down to take the picture.
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
● ●
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective
● ●
if you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or
other transportation.
The Image Stabilizer consumes more power
● ●
than normal shooting, resulting in fewer shots
and a shorter movie shooting time.
When shooting a still subject, it compensates for
● ●
camera shake in all directions.
It compensates for vertical camera shake during
● ●
following shots in a horizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake during
following shots in a vertical direction.
When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
● ●
should be turned off to save battery power.
Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will
● ●
be as effective as during hand-held shooting.
However, depending on the shooting conditions,
there are cases in which the Image Stabilizer
effect may be less effective.
The image stabilizer function also operates when the
● ●
lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 II or EF25 II.
The Image Stabilizer will operate even when you
● ●
press the button assigned to the AF function with
the camera's Custom Functions.
