46When 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-S18-135mm 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-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6IS STM lens, EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens, or EF-S18-200mmf/3.5-5.6 IS lens, the Image Stabilizer mode will be switchedautomatically to suit the shooting conditions.
