Vibration Reduction
Select the vibration reduction option for shooting.
Vibration reduction effectively reduces blur, caused by slight hand movement
known as camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with 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.
The current vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor
with shooting when photo information is on (
A 11, 27). 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 image of the monitor stabilizes before
shooting.
• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images 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.
• The On (hybrid) option for Vibration reduction and Date imprint (A 74, 146) cannot be
enabled simultaneously. When shooting with Vibration reduction set to On (hybrid), Date
imprint is automatically set to Off.
• 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 (
A 149) can be heard only when the
shutter is released the first time and a single picture will be recorded.
