Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer Off E MENU With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable during telephoto recording. However, the ELURA's Optical Image Stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even at 12× or 48× magnification. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss of picture quality. The Optical Image Stabilizer can compensate for a wide range of camera movement - you can record stable images even if you are shooting from a moving car. (see p. 30) IMAGE S. •ON 1.
