When enlarging a picture with digital zoom, the slightly grainy image might be produced due
to digital process.
k Vibration reduction (K)
Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight
hand movement known as camera shake, that commonly
occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter
speeds. Press K to enable vibration reduction. The vibration
reduction icon is displayed in the monitor.
Vibration reduction can be used in all modes. However, X
(active vibration reduction) is not available in movie modes.
• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the camera recovers from the
standby mode or the power is turned on. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
• There may also be a slight display lag after a picture is taken.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in
some situations.

K (Normal)
(default setting)
Best choice for most situations. Camera detects and factors out panning
movements when reducing camera shake. When camera is panned hor-
izontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only vertical shake. If
camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only horizontal
shake.
X (Active) Use when shooting from moving vehicles or in other situations in which
vibration is exaggerated. Panning not supported.
Off Vibration reduction is not enabled. Turn vibration reduction off when
using a tripod.
