Image Stabilization Icons

Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically
applied (Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in [

]

and [

] modes.

Image stabilization for still
images (Normal)

Image stabilization for movies,
reducing strong camera shake,
as when shooting while walking
(Dynamic)

Image stabilization for still
images when panning*
(Panning)

Image stabilization for slow
camera shake, such as when
shooting movies at telephoto
(Powered)

Image stabilization for macro
shots (Hybrid IS).
During movie recording,
[

] is displayed, and image

stabilization for macro movie
recording is used.

No image stabilization, because
the camera is mounted on
a tripod or held still by other
means.
However, during movie
recording, [

] is displayed,

and image stabilization to
counteract wind or other sources
of vibration is used (Tripod IS).

* Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow

subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera
shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving
vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.

To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (

=

99

). In this case, an

IS icon is not displayed.

In [

] mode, no [

] icon is displayed.

On-Screen Frames

In [

] mode, a variety of frames are displayed once the camera detects

subjects you are aiming the camera at.

A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face)
determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames are
displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving subjects
within a certain range to keep them in focus.

However, if the camera detects subject movement, only the white frame
will remain on the screen.

When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera
detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus and
image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).

Try shooting in [

G] mode (

=

77

) if no frames are displayed, if

frames are not displayed around desired subjects, or if frames are
displayed on the background or similar areas.

To choose subjects to focus on, touch the desired subject on the screen. [

]

is displayed, and the camera enters Touch AF mode. Pressing the shutter
button halfway will display a blue AF frame, and the camera will keep the
subject in focus and image brightness adjusted (Servo AF).
