Changing the IS-Mode Settings
∆ Choose [IS Mode], then press the qr
buttons to choose an option.
Continuous
Image stabilization is always on.
You can confirm the result directly
on the display, which makes it
easier to check the composition or
focus.
Shoot Only
Image stabilization is only active at
the moment of shooting.
Panning
Image stabilization only counters
up and down motion. This option is
recommended for shooting objects
moving horizontally.
• If camera shake is too strong, attach the camera to a tripod. You should
set the IS Mode to [Off] when the camera is attached to a tripod.
• When using [Panning], hold the camera horizontally to shoot. Image
stabilization does not work when the camera is held vertically.
