Taking Pictures Using the Shake Reduction Function

• The Shake Reduction function does not compensate for blurring caused by subject 

movement. To take pictures of a moving subject, increase the shutter speed.

• The Shake Reduction function may not fully reduce camera shake when 

taking close-up shots. In this case, it is recommended to turn off the Shake 

Reduction function and use the camera with a tripod.

• The Shake Reduction function will not fully work when shooting with a very slow shutter 

speed, for example when panning or shooting night scenes. In this case, it is 

recommended to turn off the Shake Reduction function and use the camera with a tripod.
