While in that position, you can press the shutter button fully to take a picture. • When [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [OFF], pressing and holding the o button activates the image stabilizer ([I.S. 1]). • Either releasing the o button or holding down the o button for several seconds turns off the image stabilizer. 250 F5.6 5 IS 1 LN 38 Green: Image stabilizer active Red : Image stabilizer failure x Notes • The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended that you use a tripod. • When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF]. • When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilization function of either the lens or the camera. • If [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [I.S.1], [I.S.2] or [I.S.3] and you turn off the camera, the camera will vibrate. This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism. Without this initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect. • If the image stabilizer icon is displayed in red on the monitor, it indicates a failure of the image stabilizer function. If you take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your Olympus Authorized Service Center. 61 EN
