Using Vibration Reduction: Notes
•
Vibration reduction may be unavailable with some lenses.
•
We recommend that you wait for the image in the display to stabilize
before shooting.
•
Depending on the lens, when vibration reduction is active, the image in
the viewfinder may jiggle after the shutter is released, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
•
[Sport] or [On] is recommended for panning shots. In [Sport], [Normal],
and [On] modes, vibration reduction applies only to motion that is not
part of the pan. If the camera is panned horizontally, for example,
vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake.
•
To prevent unintended results, select [Off] when the camera is mounted
on a tripod. Note that settings for VR lenses may differ; consult the lens
manual for more information. Note, however, that [Normal], [Sport], or
[On] is recommended if the tripod head is unsecured or the camera is
mounted on a monopod.
