When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is 
corrected to obtain a sharper s hot. The procedure explained here is 
based on the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens as an example.
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.
1Set the IS switch to < 1>.
 Also set the camera’s power switch to 
.
2Press the shutter button halfway.
XThe Image Stabilizer will operate.
3Take the picture.
  When the picture looks steady in the 
viewfinder, press the shutter button 
completely to take the picture.
About the Lens Image Stabilizer
  The Image Stabilizer cannot correct  “subject blur”, when the subject 
moves at the time of exposure.
  For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to < 2>. If < 1> is set, Image 
Stabilizer misoperation may occur.
  The Image Stabilizer may not be effect ive for excessive shaking such as 
on a rocking boat.
  The Image Stabilizer can operate with  the lens focus mode switch set to 
either < AF> or < MF>.
  When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to < 1> 
with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to 
< 2 > is recommended.
  The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on a 
monopod.
  Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the 
shooting conditions. However, the following lenses switch the IS mode 
automatically:
• EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM • EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
• EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II • EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
• EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

2. Hold the lens bottom with your left hand.
3. Rest your hand’s right index finger lightly on the shutter button.
4. Press your arms and elbows lightly against the front of your body.

Basic Operation
The shutter button has two steps. You can press the shutter button 
halfway. Then you can further press the shutter button completely.
Pressing halfway
This activates autofocusing and the 
automatic exposure system that sets the 
shutter speed and aperture.
The exposure setting (shutter speed and 
aperture) is displayed in the viewfinder 
(0 ).
Pressing completely
This releases the shutter and takes the 
picture.
Preventing Camera Shake
Hand-held camera movement during the moment of exposure is called 
camera shake. It can cause blurred pi ctures. To prevent camera shake, 
note the following:
• Hold and steady the camera as shown on the preceding page.
• Press the shutter button halfway to  autofocus, then slowly press the 
shutter button completely.
Shutter Button
  If you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway first 
or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely 
immediately, the camera will take a moment before it  takes the picture.
  Even during menu display, image playback, or image recording, you can 
instantly go back to shooting-ready by pressing the shutter button 
halfway.

About Low-level Formatting
 Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems 
slow or if you want to totally erase all data in the card.
  Since low-level formatting will format a ll recordable sectors in the card, the 
formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.
  You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [ Cancel]. Even in this 
case, normal formatting will be completed and you can use the card as 
usual.
  When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management 
information is changed. The actual dat a is not completely erased. Be 
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the 
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to 
prevent the personal data from being leaked.
  Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be 
installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
 The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller 
than the capacity indicated on the card.
