f Date Imprint (Imprinting Date and Time)
The shooting date and time can be 
imprinted on the pictures with shooting,

from printers that do not support date 
printing (A105).
At settings other than Off, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the 
monitor (A8).
BNotes on Date Imprint
•Imprinted dates form a permanent part of image data and cannot be deleted. The date and time 
cannot be imprinted on pictures after they have been taken.
•The date cannot be imprinted in the following situations:
- Pictures taken in Sports, Museum, or Panorama assist scene mode
- When On is selected for Blink proof (A75) in smart portrait mode.
- When Continuous or BSS is selected for the continuous setting (A58).
-Movies

g Vibration Reduction
Select the vibration reduction option for shooting.
Vibration reduction reduces blur, caused by slight hand movement known as 
camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with telephoto zoom 
applied or at slow shutter speeds. The effects of camera shake are reduced when 
recording movies, in addition to when taking still pictures.
Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera 
during shooting.
The current vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor 
with shooting (A8, 25). When Off is selected, no icon is displayed.
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 image of the monitor stabilizes before 
shooting.
•Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s 
monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.
•Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some 
situations.
•Image processing with electronic vibration reduction may not perform as expected with very 
slight or extreme camera shake, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
•Image processing with electronic vibration reduction is not enabled at fast or extremely slow 
shutter speeds, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
•When On (hybrid) is selected and electronic vibration reduction is activated, the shutter is 
automatically released twice when a picture is taken to allow for image processing. Therefore, the 
time required to record pictures increases. Shutter sound (A155) can be heard only when the 
shutter is released the first time and a single picture will be recorded.
Tap the bottom tab (A146) M z (Setup menu) M g Vibration reduction
On (hybrid)
The effects of camera shake are reduced optically only using a lens-shift method. 
Additional image processing with electronic vibration reduction is applied to 
further reduce the effects of camera shake with recording of still pictures taken 
under the following conditions.
• when flash is disabled.
• when a shutter speed slower than 1/60 seconds is used.
• when Self-timer is disabled.
• when Single is selected for the Continuous setting.
• when ISO sensitivity is set to 200 or less.
On (default setting)
The vibration reduction using the lens-shift method only is enabled.
Off
Vibration reduction is not enabled.
