Select [STABILIZER] in the [REC] Mode menu. (P55)

Press

3/4 to select the setting and then press [MENU/SET].

When recording a motion picture, [STABILIZER] will be fixed to [MODE1] even if it is set to
[MODE2] or [MODE3].

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

Preventing jitter (camera shake)
When the jitter alert [

] appears, use [STABILIZER], a tripod, the self-timer (P80) or the

remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional)

(P171)

.

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.

Slow Sync.

Slow Sync./Red-Eye Reduction

[NIGHT PORTRAIT], [NIGHT SCENERY] and [PARTY] in Scene Mode (P98)

When you set to a slow shutter speed

Note

It is recommended to disable the Optical Image Stabilizer when using a tripod. [

] is

displayed on the screen at that time.

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 taking pictures while following a moving subject.

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

Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.

The panning effect in [MODE3] is more difficult to achieve in the following cases.

In brightly lit places such as in broad daylight on a summer’s day

When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th of a second.

When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. (The
background will not become a blur.)

When the camera does not keep up with the subject satisfactorily

We recommend taking pictures with the viewfinder when panning in [MODE3].

[OFF]:

[STABILIZER] does not work.
(This can be selected only when using a lens without the [O.I.S.]
switch.)

[MODE1]:

Jitter is always compensated during [REC] Mode.

[MODE2]:

The jitter is compensated for when the shutter button is pressed.

[MODE3]:

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 track the movements of a subject which continues to move in
a fixed direction).
