When “Anti-Shake: On” is set, there will be a slight difference between the actual movement and the movement on screen.

Excessive camcorder shake may not be entirely corrected even if “Anti-Shake: On” is set. Firmly hold the HD camcorder with both hands.

It is recommended that you specify “Anti-Shake: Off” when using the HD camcorder on a desk or tripod (not supplied).

When you record images with high magnification and the “Anti-Shake” is set to “On” in dark locations, after-images may stand out. In this case, we recommend using a tripod (not supplied) and turning the “Anti-Shake” to “Off.”

Anti-Shake (EIS) is not available when the exposure is adjusted above 27. (Photo record mode only)

When the flash is activated in Photo mode, the “Anti-Shake” is turned off.
