Turning Off the Image Stabilizer
Canon’s optical image stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even at
telephoto. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss in picture quality. There
is no need to turn off the image stabilizer during normal recording. However, the
camcorder tries to compensate for horizontal movements and you may therefore
decide to turn it off during panning. The image stabilizer cannot be turned off in the
Easy Recording mode.
Open the menu and select [CAMERA SET UP]. Select [IMAGE S. i], set it
to [OFF] and close the menu.

This function can be assigned to the CSTM KEY ( 53).
We recommend turning off the image stabilizer when you mount the
camcorder on a tripod.
The image stabilizer is designed to compensate a normal degree of camcorder
shake.
