Image Stabilizer
¡When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
should be turned off to save battery power.
¡The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held
photography and photography with a monopod.
¡The image stabilizer function also operates
when the lens is used with an Extension Tube
EF12 ll.
¡Pictures may look distorted after being taken
depending on the camera, but this doesn't affect
shooting.
¡If you set the camera’s Custom Function to
change the assigned button to operate the AF,
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press
the newly assigned AF button.
¡The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
¡Set the STABILIZER switch to when you
are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set
to , the image stabilizer function may
introduce errors.
¡The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective
in the following cases:
• You move the camera for a panned shot.
• You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.
¡The Image Stabilizer consumes more power
than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be
taken if you use the function.
¡The image stabilizer operates for about two
seconds even when your finger is off the shutter
button. Do not remove the lens while the
stabilizer is in operation. This will cause a
malfunction.
