Icon Description

Off: OIS is deactivated.

On: OIS is activated.

Dual IS: The Dual Image Stabilizer (Dual IS) is activated.

•OIS may not function properly when:

--you move your camera to follow a moving subject --you use Digital zoom

--there is too much camera shake

--the shutter speed is slow (for example, when you capture night scenes) --you capture a close-up shot

•If you use the OIS function with a tripod, your images may be blurred by the vibration of the OIS sensor. Deactivate the OIS function when you use a tripod.

•If the camera is hit or dropped, the display will be blurry. If this occurs, turn off the camera, and then turn it on again.
