Tips on Using the 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 might not be fully effective in the following cases: • You shoot from a violently moving vehicle. • You move the camera dramatically for a panning shot in Mode 1. ●● The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the function. ●● 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 II E/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX Lite/ IX7, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer operation. ●● Please refer to the Camera/Extender Compatibility Chart (p.25) for information regarding IS operation when using external extenders. ●● Using a tripod also stabilizes the image. However, depending on the kind of tripod and shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better to turn off the Image Stabilizer function. ●● 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. ●● Depending on the camera there may be image shake, such as after releasing the shutter. However, this does not 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.
