Canon EOS Rebel T5i 18-55mm IS STM Lens Kit - Manual (Page 41)

41
When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is
corrected to obtain a sharper shot. The procedure explained here is
based on the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens as an example.
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.
1 Set the IS switch to <1>.
Also set the camera’s power switch to
<1>.
2 Press the shutter button halfway.
X
The Image Stabilizer will operate.
3 Take the picture.
When the picture looks steady in the
viewfinder, press the shutter button
completely to take the picture.
About the Lens Image Stabilizer
The Image Stabilizer cannot correct “subject blur”, when the subject
moves at the time of exposure.
For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to <2>. If <1> is set, Image
Stabilizer misoperation may occur.
The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such as
on a rocking boat.
The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens focus mode switch set to
either <AF> or <MF>.
When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to <1>
with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to
<2> is recommended.
The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on a
monopod.
Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the
shooting conditions. However, the following lenses switch the IS mode
automatically:
• EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
• EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
• EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II • EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
• EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
