Using the Electronic Image Stabilizer
The electronic image stabilizer (EIS) corrects slight shaking of the image being recorded and is
effective in the following situations.
• While you zoom to a distant subject.
• While you approach a small subject.
• While you walk around.
• While you record from inside a moving vehicle.
1. Press the EIS button. The EIS icon appears in the viewfinder.
2. Press the Start/Stop button to start recording. When EIS is engaged the viewfinder image
shakes with a slight delay.
Note: EIS may not function if you use a wide or tele converter lens.
Note: When the EIS function is engaged in the vicinity of the zoom range with ZOOM
displayed in the viewfinder, when moved from the wide-angle end, the image size will
change, but this is normal.
Note: When the EIS function is engaged, the picture becomes rough.
Note: When the EIS function is engaged, the angle of view at the wide-angle end becomes
narrower.
Note: It is recommended that you do not use the EIS function when using a tripod. The
sensor would detect vibrations from the tripod in which case the picture would be blurred.
