■ Vibration reduction mode (VRII)
Basic concept behind vibration reduction
Set the vibration reduction mode switch to 
NORMAL.
Set the vibration reduction mode switch to 
ACTIVE.
Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF 
switch (Fig. B)
ON:
The effects of camera shake are reduced 
while the shutter- release button is pressed 
halfway and also at the instant the shutter is 
released. Because vibration is reduced in 
the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and 
exact framing of the subject are easier.
OFF:
The effects of camera shake are not reduced.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch 
(Fig. C)
Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to ON and 
choose a vibration reduction mode with the vibration 
reduction mode switch.
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism 
primarily reduces the effects of camera 
shake. The effects of camera shake are also 
reduced with horizontal and vertical 
panning.
ACTIVE:
The vibration reduction mechanism 
reduces the effects of camera shake, such as 
that which occurs when taking pictures 
from a moving vehicle, whether it be 
normal or more intense camera shake. In 
this mode, camera shake is not 
automatically distinguished from panning 
motion.
When taking pictures
Set the vibration reduction 
mode switch to either 
NORMAL or ACTIVE.
When taking panning 
shots
Set the vibration reduction 
mode switch to NORMAL.
When taking pictures 
from a moving vehicle 
Set the vibration reduction 
mode switch to ACTIVE.
