• We recommend setting the O.I.S. switch to [OFF] when using a tripod.
• We recommend taking pictures with the viewfinder when panning in [ ].
• The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function automatically functions while recording motion
pictures. This decreases the jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while zooming
or walking, etc.
– The recording range may become narrower.
– If you record a motion picture with [Rec Quality] set to [VGA/4M/30p], the stabilizer function
may be less effective compared to other picture quality settings.
• The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.
Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.
– When there is a lot of jitter.
– When the zoom magnification is high.
– In digital zoom range.
– When taking pictures while following a moving subject.
– When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.
• The panning effect in [ ] 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.
