Image Stabilization Image Stabilization You can use the image stabilizer to compensate for camera shake and achieve steadier shots. The image stabilizer is more effective at wider angles and the effect is reduced the more you approach the telephoto end. 78 1 Select > [v Camera Setup] > [Digital IS] > [On]. • Press the button assigned to [Digital IS] to turn this function on and off. • The icon appears on the screen. 2 If the camera cannot obtain the focal length from the lens, select > [v Camera Setup] > [Lens Focal Length] and enter the lens's focal length using the data entry screen (A 25). • The image stabilization is adjusted according to the focal length entered. 3 When using an anamorphic lens, select > [v Camera Setup] > [Anamorphic Corr.] > Squeeze factor to use to correct the image stabilization. • If you selected [Lens Squeeze Factor], the anamorphic correction will be applied according to the squeeze factor specified with the > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Metadata] > [Lens Squeeze] setting. NOTES • If the IS function is turned off on the lens, the camera's image stabilization function is deactivated too and the icon will flash. • If you set an assignable button to [Pause Digital IS] (A 105), you can press and hold the button to temporarily stop the camera's image stabilization ( will appear grayed out). This will not affect the lens's image stabilization. • Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, subject blur may be more prominent (the subject may be momentarily blurred) due to the use of image stabilization. • Turning off the camera's image stabilization is recommended in the following cases: - When using TS-E lenses and fisheye lenses - When the camera is expected to be stable, for example when it is mounted on a tripod • If the degree of camera shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully. • The camera's image stabilization will not function when using super telephoto lenses with a focal length exceeding 1000 mm. Powerful Image Stabilization Using the peripheral area of the screen outside a 2K image size for digital IS correction, it is possible to achieve a higher level of image stabilization while shooting. This feature is available for clips with a resolution of 2048x1080 or lower, and when the sensor mode is set to [Super 16mm (Crop)]. Select > [v Camera Setup] > [Super16 Digital IS] > [On]. • is displayed on the screen. NOTES • Depending on the lens, the stabilization results may not be optimal or limiting the lens's image stabilization may be necessary to produce better results. • Subject blur may be more prominent depending on the shutter speed (the subject may be momentarily blurred). In such cases, setting a faster shutter speed (approximately 1/180 seconds or faster) is recommended.
