Cautions
• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs
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.
• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
• The image stabilizer will not activate at shutter speeds of over 2 seconds.
