g Vibration Reduction

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. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes. 

Vibration reduction is enabled in anti-shake mode (

A 43) regardless of the option 

selected for [Vibration reduction].

When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed in the 
monitor during shooting (when [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is 
not displayed in the monitor) (

• 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 display stabilizes before shooting.

• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s 

monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.

• Turn vibration reduction off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some 

situations.

• [VR] stands for vibration reduction.

On (default setting)

Vibration reduction is enabled when shooting still pictures and recording movies. 
Camera detects and factors out panning movements when reducing camera shake. 
When camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only 
vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only 
horizontal shake.

Off

Vibration reduction is not enabled.
