0 •
Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after focusing can affect
the focus.
• Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quickly rotated.
• Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayed focus. This causes
any streaks of light that are captured during exposure to be blurred.

5. Image Stabilizer
This lens is equipped with an Image Stabilizer. This function corrects camera shake,
allowing users to capture sharp images. Also, the Image Stabilizer automatically
provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as
shooting still subjects and following shots). Please set the Image Stabilizer ON or
OFF using the camera settings. See your camera's instructions for details.
0 •
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.
[it·
When shooting a still subject, it compensates for camera shake in all directions.
• lt compensates for vertical camera shake during following shots in a tiorizontal
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 StabUizer will be as effective as during
hand-held shooting.
However, depending on the shooting environment, the Image Stabilizer effect
may be less effective.
