Canon S5 IS appendix Setting the Image Stabilizer Function

Setting the Image Stabilizer Function

Shooting Mode

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
Continuous	on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder) since the IS mode
	runs continually. This makes it easier to compose
	images and focus on subjects.
	Shoot Only IS mode is only activated when the shutter
	button is pressed. When set to [Continuous], some
Shoot Only*	blurring may occur depending on the subjects. In Shoot
	Only mode, subjects can be taken without concern for
	any unnatural movement that may appear on the LCD
	monitor (or viewfinder).
Panning*	This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down
	camera motions on the image. This option is
	recommended for shooting objects moving horizontally.

* This option is not available in the mode.
