Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer
• When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
should be turned off to save battery power.
• The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held
photography and photography with a monopod.
• The image stabilizer function also operates when
the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 ll or
EF25 ll.
• Pictures may look distorted after being taken
depending on the camera, but this doesn't 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.
• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
• Set the STABILIZER switch to when you are
taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to
,
the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
• The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in
the following cases:
• You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.
• You move the camera dramatically for a panning
shot in Mode 1.
• You shoot using techniques other than following
shots in Mode 2.
• The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than
normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if
you use the function.
• 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
IIE/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, and D30, the
Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer
operation.
