41 When you use the IS lens’ built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake is corrected to obtain a sharper shot.

When the picture looks steady in the viewfinder, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. About the Lens Image Stabilizer The Image Stabilizer cannot correct “subject blur”, when the subject moves at the time of exposure. For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to < 2>. If < 1> is set, Image Stabilizer misoperation may occur. The Image Stabilizer may no t be effective for excessive shaking such as on a rocking boat. The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens focus mode switch set to either < AF> or < MF>. When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to is recommended. The Image Stabilizer is effective ev en when the camera is mounted on a monopod. Some IS lenses enable y ou to switch the IS mode manually to suit the shooting conditions. However, the fo llowing lenses switch the IS mode automatically: • EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II • EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM • EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM • EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS COPY
