How to Use the IS Mode

Shooting Mode

By using the IS mode, you can reduce image blur when magnifying a distant subject or shooting in low-light situations.

		You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur
	Continuous	on the LCD monitor since the IS mode runs
		continually. This makes it easier to compose images
		and focus on subjects.
		IS mode is only activated when the shutter button is
	Shoot Only	pressed, so subjects will be captured with reduced
		blur even if their movements the LCD monitor are not
		smooth. This option is not available in the		mode.
		This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down
	Panning	camera motions on the image. This option is
		recommended for shooting objects moving horizontally.
		This option is not available in the	mode.

*Default setting.

It may not be possible to completely stabilize images when shooting at night or at low shutter speeds. Use a tripod to shoot under these conditions.

Excessive hand motion may not be completely stabilized. Use the camera in its horizontal orientation for panning (the IS mode has no effect in the vertical orientation).
