*Only [Continuous] can be set.
The lens shift type 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 without a flash.
You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur on Continuous 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 on the LCD monitor are not
smooth.
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.
