NOTES
If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may
not be able to fully compensate.
Powered IS is not available in mode.
For surveying and following shots, when you pan the camcorder from
side to side or tilt it up and down, we recommend setting the IS mode
to [P Dynamic] or [Q Standard].
[P Dynamic]
( mode only) Compensates for a higher
degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walk-
ing, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide
angle.
[Q Standard], [Q On] Compensates for a lower degree of
camcorder shake, such as when shooting while remaining sta-
tionary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes. Use
this setting when recording movies with the optional Wide-con-
verter or Tele-converter.
[j Off] Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a tri-
pod.
Powered IS
When shooting video, you can use Powered IS to make the image
stabilization even more powerful. 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). Holding the LCD
panel with your left hand will add to the stability of the shot.
Press and hold Y as long as
you want to activate Powered IS.
Z appears in yellow, while
Powered IS is activated.
You can change the operation of the
Y button (long press or
toggle on/off) with the
7 8
[POWERED IS Button] setting.
