Image Stabilization Icons
Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions is automatically
applied (Intelligent IS). Additionally, the following icons are displayed in
[ ] mode.
Image stabilization for still
images
Image stabilization for movies,
reducing strong camera shake,
as when shooting while walking
(Dynamic IS)
Image stabilization for still
images when panning*
Image stabilization for slow
camera shake, such as when
shooting movies at telephoto
(Powered IS)
Image stabilization for macro
shots (Hybrid IS)
No image stabilization, because
the camera is mounted on
a tripod or held still by other
means
* Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you follow
subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical camera
shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow subjects moving
vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera shake.
• To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (=
64). In this case, an
IS icon is not displayed.
