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.
