6. Image Stabilizer This function provides image stabilization appropriate for shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and panning shots). Set the image stabilizer switch to ON when you want to use the Image Stabilizer. zzSet the image stabilizer switch to OFF when you are not going to use the Image Stabilizer. zzThe Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved. zzThe Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or other transportation. zzIf using a camera that allows you to change the shutter type setting, it is recommended to use the electronic shutter for the first curtain* to allow the Image Stabilizer to be fully effective. zzWhen using a tripod, the Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective or it might be better to set the image stabilizer switch to OFF, depending on the type of tripod and where the tripod is located, as well as on the camera's settings such as shutter speed. zzEven with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will be as effective as during hand-held shooting. However, depending on the shooting conditions, there are cases in which the Image Stabilizer effect may be less effective. * For cameras where this change is possible with a Silent Live View Shooting setting, use Mode 1 (default setting) or Mode 2 zzWhen shooting a still subject, it compensates for camera shake in all directions. zzIt compensates for vertical camera shake during panning shots in a horizontal direction, and compensates for horizontal camera shake during panning shots in a vertical direction.
