Notes
• 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, turn off the image stabilization
function of either the lens or the camera.
• Turning off the camera initializes the image stabilizer function. The camera will vibrate for this
operation, but this is not a malfunction.
• A red H displayed on the monitor indicates the failure of the image stabilizer function. If you
take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your Olympus Authorized Service
Center.
