Menu item details

  • Check the focal-length index and set the focal-length.

Note

  • The SteadyShot function may not work optimally when the power has just been turned on, right after you point the camera towards a subject, or when the shutter button has been pressed all the way down without stopping halfway.
  • When using a tripod, etc., make sure to turn off the SteadyShot function because this can cause any malfunction when shooting.
  • [SteadyShot Settings] will be unavailable when MENU (Camera Settings2)[SteadyShot] is set to [Off].
  • When the camera cannot obtain focal length information from the lens, the SteadyShot function does not work correctly. Set [SteadyShot Adjust.] to [Manual] and set [SteadyS. Focal Len.] to match the lens you are using. The currently set value for the SteadyShot focal length will appear next to (camera shake icon).
  • When using an SEL16F28 lens (sold separately) with a teleconverter, etc., set [SteadyShot Adjust.] to [Manual] and set the focal length.
  • When you set [SteadyShot] to [On]/[Off], the SteadyShot settings of the camera and lens switch at the same time.
  • If a lens equipped with a SteadyShot switch is attached, the settings can only be changed using that switch on the lens. You cannot switch the settings using the camera.
