48When you use the IS lens’s built-in Image Stabilizer, camera shake iscorrected to obtain a sharper shot. The procedure explained here isbased on the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens as an example.* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.1 Set the IS switch to <1>. Set also the camera’s power switch to<1>.2 Press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer will operate.3 Take the picture. When the picture looks steady in theviewfinder, press the shutter buttoncompletely to take the picture.Lens Image Stabilizer The Image Stabilizer will not be effective if the subject moves during theexposure. For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to <2>. If <1> is set, ImageStabilizer misoperation may occur. The Image Stabilizer may not be effective for excessive shaking such ason a rocking boat. The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens’s focus mode switch setto either <AF> or <MF>. When using a tripod, you can still shoot with the IS switch set to <1>with no problem. However, to save battery power, setting the IS switch to<2> is recommended. The Image Stabilizer is effective even when the camera is mounted on amonopod. With the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6IS STM lens, or EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens, the ImageStabilizer mode will be switched automatically to suit the shootingconditions.
