Shooting
By using the IS mode, you can reduce image blur when magnifying
a distant subject or shooting in low-light situations.
How to Use the IS Mode
Shooting Mode
Continuous
You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur
on the LCD monitor since the IS mode runs
continually. This makes it easier to compose images
and focus on subjects.
Shoot Only
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 are not
smooth. This option is not available in the mode.
Panning
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.
