•Try shooting in [G] mode (=51) if the scene icon does not match

actual shooting conditions, or if it is not possible to shoot with your expected effect, color, or brightness.

*Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.

• To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=64). In this case, an IS icon is not displayed.
