Vibration Reduction

d button M z tab M Vibration reduction
Select the vibration reduction option for shooting.
Vibration reduction reduces blur, caused by slight hand movement known as
camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with telephoto zoom
applied or at slow shutter speeds. The effects of camera shake are reduced when
recording movies, in addition to when taking still pictures. Set Vibration
reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

O On (hybrid)
q On (default setting)

The current vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor
with shooting (A 8). When Off is selected, no icon is displayed.

Notes on Vibration Reduction
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the picture of the monitor stabilizes before
shooting.
• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, pictures displayed in the camera's
monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• Image processing with electronic vibration reduction may not perform as expected with very
slight or extreme camera shake, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
• Image processing with electronic vibration reduction is not enabled at fast or extremely slow
shutter speeds, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
• When On (hybrid) is selected and electronic vibration reduction is activated, the shutter is
automatically released twice when a picture is taken to allow for image processing. Therefore, the
time required to record pictures increases. Shutter sound (E 70) can be heard only when the
shutter is released the first time and a single picture will be recorded.
The effects of camera shake are reduced optically only using a
lens shift method. Additional image processing with electronic
vibration reduction is applied to further reduce the effects of
camera shake with recording of still pictures taken under the
following conditions.
• when flash is disabled.
• when a shutter speed slower than 1/60 seconds is used.
• when Self-timer is disabled.
• when Single is selected for the Continuous setting.
• when ISO sensitivity is set to 200 or less.
Lens-shift method vibration reduction reduces the effects of
camera shake.
Vibration reduction is disabled.
