Using Vibration Reduction (VR) Vibration reduction adjusts the lens to compensate for camera motion that can blur your image while shooting still pictures or movies. It makes blurring less likely to occur in situations where it is difficult to hold the camera steady, such as when shooting at slow shutter speeds in dimly lit surroundings or when zoomed in for close-up shots. When you compose your image, you can see the results of Vibration reduction on the camera's monitor. W Normal (default setting) X Active Off Suitable for normal shooting conditions. The camera detects and smoothes out panning movements. Vibration reduction reduces only vertical shake when the camera is panned horizontally and only horizontal shake when panned vertically. Suitable for severe camera shake such as when shooting from a moving vehicle. This option does not detect vibrations when panning. Vibration reduction is turned off.

Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting. There may also be a slight display lag after a picture is taken. • Turn Vibration reduction off when using a tripod. • Depending on the situation, camera shake may not be completely reduced even if Vibration re- duction is set. 48
