Originally posted by Tigs Hi, is it true that shake reduction (or equivalent fuction) is only activated during focus operation and shortly after that. I read that with some cameras it is only activated when the shutter button is half pressed for focus but I use back-button focus instead.
It's active, I believe, whenever the meter is. So this would mean it's enabled following a half-press, and then for the configured number of seconds thereafter. If you let the SR system arm before your take the shot, the effectiveness of the stabilization should be better.
Look for the hand icon in the viewfinder to verify that SR is on.
