K Vibration Reduction Vibration reduction (VR) compensates for slight hand movements that can blur pictures or cause shake in the monitor when the camera is zoomed in or when shooting in the dark without a flash. Vibration reduction can also be used when shooting movies. When vibration reduction is on, the camera detects and factors out panning movements. If the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only vertical shake. If the camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only horizontal shake. Vibration reduction is on by default. Choose Off when using a tripod. The current setting is displayed in the monitor (B 4). A Vibration Reduction Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the camera is turned on. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting. There may also be a slight lag after a picture is taken. Vibration reduction may not produce the desired results in all cases. B AF Assist If Auto is selected, AF-assist illumination will be used to assist the focus operation when the subject is poorly lit (AF-assist illumination is unavailable in some modes; B 30-33). Choose Off to disable AF-assist illumination (note that the camera may be unable to focus if lighting is poor). 0 Digital Zoom When On (the default setting) is selected, digital zoom functions as described on page 19: cropping is used when possible to increase magnification without affecting image quality. Select Crop to limit digital zoom to magnifications at which cropping can be used (B 19), or Off to turn digital zoom off altogether. A Digital Zoom Digital zoom is not available when K (face-priority AF), A (portrait), or D (night portrait) is selected in scene mode or when Wide-angle converter is selected for Converter. Crop is not available at an image size of 3,648×2,736 (j), 3,648×2,432 (h), or 3,584×2,016 (9). When digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the subject in the center focus area and center-weighted metering is used. At magnifications of 2.0× or higher, the camera meters the center focus area only. The option selected for Digital zoom has no effect in movie mode, as interpolation is not used when recording movies. Menu Guide 87
