When you use an Image Stabilizer (IS) lens, camera shake is corrected
to obtain a sharper shot. The procedure explained here is based on the
EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens as an example.
* IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

Set the IS switch to <
1
>.
Set also the camera’s power switch to
<

>.

The Image Stabilizer will operate.

completely to take the picture.
Lens Image Stabilizer
The Image Stabilizer is not effective if 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 not be effective for excessive shaking such as
on a rocking boat.
The Image Stabilizer can operate with the lens’s focus mode switch set
to 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 a
monopod.
Some IS lenses enable you to switch the IS mode manually to suit the
shooting conditions. However, the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II or EF-
S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II switches the IS mode automatically.
