Shooting Setting the Image Stabilizer Function Shooting Mode The image stabilizer function allows you to minimize the camera shake effect (blurred images) when you shoot distant subjects that have been magnified or when you shoot in dark conditions. Types of Image Stabilization Continuous Shoot Only Panning You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder) since the IS mode runs continually. This makes it easier to compose images and focus on subjects. IS mode is only activated when the shutter button is pressed, so subjects will be captured with reduced blur even if their movements the LCD monitor (or viewfinder) are not smooth. This option is not available in the mode. This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down camera motions on the image. This option is recommended for shooting objects moving horizontally. This option is not available in the mode. 1 (Rec.) Menu [IS Mode] [Continuous]*/[Shoot Only]/ [Panning]/[Off]. See Menus and Settings (p. 27) * Default setting.
