Product care and storage
Turn ON the Vibration Control switch. The pilot lamp flashes green when turned ON.
Turn ON the Vibration Control function to activate image stabilization, allowing for
capturing stable images even in vibration-affected locations such as a ship, car, or
helicopter. This product has a 10min auto timer off function, so the Vibration Control
turns OFF after 10 minutes have passed, and the pilot lamp goes out automatically.
Even if the Vibration Control function turns OFF, the switch stays ON, so turn the switch
OFF again and turn ON the power again. To turn OFF the Vibration Control function,
turn OFF the Vibration Control switch.
* If the lever is not fully in place it will malfunction, so switch firmly between ON and OFF.
* This product can be used as binoculars whether the Vibration Control function is ON
or OFF.
* When the power is turned ON or OFF the image skips, but this doesn't indicate a problem with the horizontal optical axis.
* If the pilot lamp is blinking, the battery is dying, so please change the battery. When the battery is dying, the Vibration
Control function may stop functioning properly.
