Panasonic DMCG5KK, F0612MC0, VQT4H13 Optical Image stabilizer, Direction, Stabilizer does not work

Recording

Optical Image stabilizer

Applicable modes:

Using one of these modes, jitter during picture taking is detected, and the camera automatically compensates the jitter, enabling jitter-free images to be taken.

A lens which supports the stabilizer function is required.

–The interchangeable lens (H-PS14042, H-FS014042, H-FS45150) supports the stabilizer function.

∫Setting the stabilizer in the [Rec] menu

1Select [Stabilizer] in the [Rec] menu. (P64)

2Touch the item.

	Item		Settings
[	]		Vertical and horizontal shake are compensated for.
([Normal])
			Camera shake is corrected for up/down movements. This mode is ideal for
[		]	panning (a method of taking pictures which involves turning the camera to
([Panning])			track the movements of a subject which continues to move in a fixed
			direction).
[OFF]			[Stabilizer] does not work.
			(This can be selected only when using a lens without the [O.I.S.] switch.)

•The [Stabilizer] feature is only available if the lens you are using has an internal stabilizer.

•Exit the menu after it is set.

∫Preventing jitter (camera shake)

When the jitter alert [ ] appears, use [Stabilizer] (P157), a tripod, the self-timer (P93) or the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1: optional) (P208).

•Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.
