Anti-shake Mode Shooting in Anti-shake Mode In anti-shake mode, [Vibration reduction] (A 128) is enabled, and [BSS] is selected for [Continuous] (A 101). In addition, ISO sensitivity is automatically raised to 1600 depending upon the brightness of the subject, and shutter speed is faster than with A (auto) mode, under the same lighting conditions, to reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement. The flash is disabled. This mode is most effective when shooting under natural light. Combine it with the telephoto zoom when you are forced to shoot from a distance, in order to capture a fleeting expression on a portrait subject or to photograph an animal without frightening it off. 1 Rotate the mode dial to a. Anti-shake Mode 2 Frame the subject and shoot. Camera focuses on subject in center of frame. While the shutter-release button is held down, camera shoots up to ten pictures. They are compared and sharpest picture (picture with highest level of detail) is saved.
