Image Stabilizer ●● The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved. ●● Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to ON, the image stabilizer function may introduce errors. ●● The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or other transportation. ●● The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normal shooting, resulting in fewer shots and a shorter movie shooting time. ●● The image stabilizer operates for about two seconds even when your finger is off the shutter button. Do not remove the lens while the stabilizer is in operation. This will cause a malfunction. ●● With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN 7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/ELAN IIE/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer operation. ●● When shooting a still subject, it compensates for camera shake in all directions. ●● It compensates for vertical camera shake during following shots in a horizontal direction, and compensates for horizontal camera shake during following shots in a vertical direction. ●● When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer should be turned off to save battery power. ●● The stabilizer is equally effective for handheld photography and photography with a monopod. The Image Stabilizer effect may be reduced, however, depending on the shooting environment. ●● The image stabilizer function also operates when the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 ll or EF25 ll. ●● Pictures may look distorted after being taken depending on the camera, but this doesn't affect shooting. ●● If you set the camera's Custom Function to change the assigned button to operate the AF, the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press the newly assigned AF button.
