Basic Settings for Portrait Photography l Vibration Reduction: Choose "Normal"! Choose Normal for a comparatively high level of vibration reduction. As a consequence of how lens shift vibration reduction operates in Normal mode, the image in the display may jiggle after the shutter is released, but this is expected and does not indicate a malfunction. If you find the motion distracting, choosing Sport will stabilize the image in the viewfinder and free you to concentrate on composition. Note that if you are using an F mount lens with a vibration reduction switch, the Vibration reduction item in the camera menus will be grayed out and unavailable, and vibration reduction options will instead have to be selected using the switch. l Monitor Mode: Choose "Prioritize Viewfinder"! Recommended for users familiar with traditional digital SLRs, "prioritize viewfinder"mode lets you frame pictures in the viewfinder during hand-held photography. In photo mode, putting your eye to the viewfinder turns it on and displays the view through the lens, but the shooting display does not appear in the monitor when you take your eye away. Menus and pictures can still be displayed in the monitor using the G and K buttons. 16

Basic Settings for Portrait Photography
Vibration Reduction: Choose “
Normal
”!
Choose
Normal
for a comparatively
high level of vibration reduction. As a
consequence of how lens shift vibra-
tion reduction operates in
Normal
mode, the image in the display may
jiggle after the shutter is released, but this is expected and
does not indicate a malfunction. If you find the motion
distracting, choosing
Sport
will stabilize the image in the
viewfinder and free you to concentrate on composition.
Note that if you are using an F mount lens with a vibra-
tion reduction switch, the
Vibration reduction
item in the
camera menus will be grayed out and unavailable, and vi-
bration reduction options will instead have to be selected
using the switch.
Monitor Mode: Choose “
Prioritize Viewfinder
”!
Recommended for users familiar
with traditional digital SLRs, “priori-
tize viewfinder” mode lets you frame
pictures in the viewfinder during
hand-held photography. In photo
mode, putting your eye to the viewfinder turns it on and
displays the view through the lens, but the shooting dis-
play does not appear in the monitor when you take your
eye away. Menus and pictures can still be displayed in the
monitor using the
G
and
K
buttons.
