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.
