g Vibration reduction
Specify the vibration reduction setting for shooting pictures. Vibration reduction 
effectively corrects blur that commonly occurs when shooting with zooming or at 
slow shutter speeds.

shooting.
When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed on the 
monitor during shooting (When off is selected, an icon for the current setting is

BNotes on Vibration reduction
•Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera 
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
•Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed on the camera’s 
monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
•Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shaking in some 
situations.
•“VR” stands for vibration reduction.
DCompensating Movies with Electronic VR
To reduce the effects of camera shake when recording movies other than time-lapse movies, enable 
Electronic VR (A71) from the movie menu (A70).
On (default setting)
Specify the vibration reduction setting for shooting pictures. The camera detects 
and factors out panning movements automatically when reducing camera shaking. 
When the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction affects 
only vertical shaking. If the camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects 
only horizontal shaking.
