8. Image Stabilizer
You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode.
This function provides optimal image stabilization depending on
shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following
shots).
The image stabilizer in this lens is
effective for hand-held shots under
the following conditions.
• Close-up shooting.
• In semi-darkened areas such as
indoors or outdoors at night.
•
In locations where flash
photography is prohibited, such as
art museums and theater stages.
• In situations where your footing is
uncertain.
•I n situations where fast shutter
settings cannot be used.
• When panning subjects in motion.
1Set the STABILIZER
switch to  .
• If you are not going to
use the image stabilizer
function, set the switch to
.
2When you press the
shutter button halfway,
the Image Stabilizer
will start operating.
•Make sure the image in
the viewfinder is stable,
then press the shutter
bu tton the rest of the way
down to take the picture.

Image Stabilizer
•The shorter the subject distance from the
camera, the lesser the Image Stabilizer effect
will be.
• 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
e xposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to ,
the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
• The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if
you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or
other transportation.
• 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
bu tton. Do not remove the lens while the stabilizer
is in operation. This will cause a malfunction
.
•W ith the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN
7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN
II/ELAN IIE/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, and
D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during
self-timer operation.
• When shooting a still subject, it compensates for
camera shake in all directions.
• It compensates for vertical camera shake during
following shots in a horizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake
during following shots in a vertical direction.
• Using a tripod also stabilizes the image.
However, depending on the kind of tripod and
shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better
to turn off the Image Stabilizer function.
• 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 or EF25 ll.
• Pictures may look distorted after being taken
depending on the camera, but this doesnt 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.

9. Taking Hand-held Close-ups
Close-up shots are more prone to be affected by
camera shake than with normal shooting. The
Image Stabilizers corrective effect is therefore
less during close-ups than during normal shooting
even with the same degree of camera shake.
The depth of field also becomes very shallow with
close-ups, and moving forward or back even
slightly will throw off the focus.
When hand-holding the camera for close-up
shooting, minimize camera shake and blurred
f ocus with the following techniques:
Hold the camera firmly
As shown on the right, hold the camera firmly so
it does not move while shooting.
Use AI Servo AF
F or close-up shots, set the cameras AF mode to
AI Servo AF. Using autofocus is recommended.
The AI Servo AF mode can minimize blurred
f ocus during close-up shooting.
F or details, see the cameras instruction manual.
Place both elbows on a steady surface such as a table.
Use your knee to support
an arm holding the
camera.Lean against a steady
object like a wall.
