B) ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter release button is lightly pressed and also at the instant the shutter is released. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder while depressing the shutter release button, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are easier. [. . . ] If you move the camera in a wide arc when taking panning shots, vibration in the direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier. Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the shutter.
