B Notes About Photo VR
• After turning on the camera or after switching from playback mode to shooting mode, wait for the
shooting mode screen to be displayed completely before taking images.
• Images displayed in the camera monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• When the shutter speed is extremely slow, images cannot be corrected by image processing even
when this function is set to On (hybrid).
• When using some scene modes, special effects mode, and smart portrait mode, images cannot be
corrected by image processing even when this function is set to On (hybrid).
