IMG STAB : The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full telephoto.

The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder shake.

The image stabilizer may not be effective when recording in dark places using the Night recording program (SCN).

The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the mode switch is in the position.

We recommend turning off the image stabilizer when using a tripod.
