The image stabilizer function allows you to minimize the camera shake effect (blurred images) when you shoot distant subjects that have been magnified or when you shoot in dark conditions. This function's default setting is [Continuous].
From the [ (Rec.)] menu, select [IS Mode], and press or button. [Continuous], [Dynamic], [Shoot Only] and [Panning] or [Off] can be selected.
Continuous
Image stabilization is always active.
Dynamic
Reduces strong camera shake, for example when walking, while shooting movies.
Shoot Only
Image stabilization is active when the shutter button is pressed all the way down.
Panning
Image stabilization is active when the camera shakes vertically (up and down).
2. Press the <MENU> button.
Camera shake may not be fully corrected when shooting with slow shutter speeds with such shooting scenes as evening shots. In this case, affix the camera to a tripod.
If camera shake is too strong, it may not be fully corrected.
[Panning] is recommended for use when shooting while moving the camera horizontally.
Hold the camera horizontally while panning (stabilization does not work when the camera is held vertically).
