    OptionDescription
    g Normal
    (default setting)
    Compensates camera shake that commonly occurs when 
    shooting at telephoto zoom 
    positions or slow shutter 
    speeds. The camera automatically detects the panning 
    direction and only compensates for vibration caused by 
    camera shake.

    vibration reduction only redu ces vertical shake. If the 
    camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction only 
    compensates for horizontal shake.

    Camera shake is automatically compensated during 
    shooting if a comparatively large camera shake is likely to 
    occur when shooting from a  car or under poor foothold 
    conditions.
