When the lens is attached to the camera the stabilizer function is set to activate if the [O.I.S.] switch is set to [ON].

We recommend setting the [O.I.S.] switch to [OFF] when using a tripod.

The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.

When there is a lot of jitter.

When the zoom magnification is high.

When using the digital zoom.

When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.

Note

When flash recording with a close subject, the light of the flash will be blocked by the lens and part of the picture may be dark. Check the distance from the subject when recording.

When recording on the wide-angle side and using the flash, the periphery of the screen may darken. In such cases, we recommend using the external flash.

If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur. After zooming, please perform the focusing again.
