The image stabilizer is

for shooting when the camera is

 

fixed in place on a tripod or other

 

stable surface.

ON

The image stabilizer is activated.

 

 

The camera’s default settings are [IMAGE STABILIZER] (still images) to [ON] and [IS MOVIE MODE] (movies) to [OFF].

There may be a noise coming from inside the camera when the shutter button is pressed with [IMAGE STABILIZER] (still images) set to [ON].

Images may not be stabilized if camera shake is too severe.

When the shutter speed is extremely slow, such as when taking pictures at night, [IMAGE STABILIZER] (still images) may not be as effective.

When shooting while the [IS MOVIE MODE] (movies) is set to [ON], the image will be enlarged somewhat before saving.
