Image Stabilizer
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when you
are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to
ON, the Image Stabilizer may introduce errors.
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
when set at ON than normal shooting at OFF,
resulting in fewer shots and a shorter movie
shooting time.
The Image Stabilizer operates for about two
seconds even when your finger is off the
shutter button. Do not remove the lens while
the stabilizer is in operation. This will cause a
malfunction.
With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN
7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/
ELAN II E/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX Lite/
IX7, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work
during self-timer operation.
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 also operates when the
lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 II or
EF25 II.
Depending on the camera there may be image
shake, such as after releasing the shutter.
However, this does not affect shooting.
If you set the camera's Custom Function to
change the assigned button to operate the AF,
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press
the newly assigned AF button.
