the effects of camera shake during shooting.
B Notes About Electronic Vibration Reduction
• The effectiveness of electronic vibration reduction decreases as camera shake increases.
• The image captured using electronic vibration reduction may be somewhat “grainy” in
appearance.
• Electronic vibration reduction does not function under the following conditions or in the
following shooting modes:
- When slow sync with red-eye reduction (A41) is used.
- When exposure exceeds a certain length of time.
-When ISO sensitivity (E28) is set to any setting other than Auto.

when electronic vibration reduction is enabled.
C Electronic Vibration Reduction
When Electronic VR in the setup menu is set to Auto and flash mode (A50) is set to W (Off) or
Y (Slow sync), the w icon may be displayed in the monitor. When shooting conditions are likely
to be affected by camera shake while w is displayed, the camera reduces the effects of camera
shake on images before recording them.
