Vibration reduction adjusts the lens to compensate for slight
hand movements that can blur pictures or cause image to shake
in the display while shooting.
Effects
of vibration reduction
In hand-held shooting
Effectively reduces blur that tends to
occur in shots?especially hand-held camera shots?that
are zoomed-in or taken under dim lighting conditions,
such as when shooting dusk or night landscapes.
In shooting using panning movements
The camera automatically detects and accommodates
panning movement, and reduces only shake caused by hand
movements.
Vibration reduction
is effective for shooting movies as well as still pictures.
