Image Stabilization Image Stabilization Use the image stabilizer to compensate for camcorder shake in order to achieve steadier shots. The camcorder offers the following IS modes. Standard IS (¯): Standard IS compensates for a lower degree of camcorder shake, for example, for handheld 53 shots while you remain stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes. Dynamic IS (°): Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide angle. Powered IS (±): Powered IS is most effective when you are stationary and zooming in on far subjects using high zoom ratios (the more you approach the telephoto end). This mode is not suitable for tilting and panning shots. Operating modes: Dynamic IS or Standard IS 1 Select [Image Stabilizer]. > [v # Camera Setup] > [Image Stabilizer] 2 Select [¯ Standard] (Standard IS) or [° Dynamic] (Dynamic IS) and then select [X]. • Select [® Off] instead to turn off the image stabilization, for example, when the camcorder is mounted on a tripod. • The icon of the selected mode appears at the top of the screen. Powered IS Press and hold the POWERED IS button as long as you want to activate Powered IS. • ± appears in yellow at the top of the screen while Powered IS is activated. NOTES • If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully. • Powered IS is available even when [Image Stabilizer] is set to [® Off]. • You can change the operation of the POWERED IS button (long press or toggle on/off) with the > [v Camera Setup] > [Powered IS Button] setting. • The angle of view will change when [Image Stabilizer] is set to an option other than [° Dynamic]. • When using Dynamic IS, the edges of the picture may be adversely affected (ghosting, artifacts and/or dark areas may appear) when compensating for a high degree of camcorder shake.
