When using a lens equipped with a vibration reduction function, you can choose whether to enable vibration reduction. The options available vary with the lens.
Option | Description | |
---|---|---|
C | [Normal] | Choose for enhanced vibration reduction when photographing static subjects. |
D | [Sport] | Choose when photographing athletes and other subjects that are moving rapidly and unpredictably. |
[Off] | Vibration reduction is disabled. |
Cautions: Using vibration reduction
- [Vibration reduction] may be unavailable with some lenses.
- We recommend that you wait for the image in the display to stabilize before shooting.
- When [Normal] is selected for lenses that support vibration reduction, the image in the shooting display may jiggle before the shutter is released, but this is a natural consequence of how vibration reduction is performed and does not indicate a malfunction. [Sport] or [Off] can be used should you find the motion distracting.
- [Sport] is recommended for panning shots. In [Normal] or [Sport] mode, 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.
- If an F mount lens with a vibration reduction switch is attached via an optional FTZ II/FTZ mount adapter, set vibration reduction on the lens.
