196
•We recommend setting the O.I.S. switch to [OFF] when using a tripod.
•We recommend taking pictures with the viewfinder when panning in [ ].
•The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function automatically functions while recording motion
pictures. This decreases the jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while zooming
or walking, etc.
–The recording range may become narrower.
–If you record a motion picture with [Rec Quality] set to [VGA/4M/30p], the stabilizer function
may be less effective compared to other picture quality settings.
•The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.
Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.
– When there is a lot of jitter.
– When the zoom magnification is high.
– In digital zoom range.
– When taking pictures while following a moving subject.
– When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.
•The panning effect in [ ] is more difficult to achieve in the following cases.
– In brightly lit places such as in broad daylight on a summer’s day.
– When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th of a second
– When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. (The
background will not become a blur.)
– When the camera does not keep up with the subject satisfactorily.
