Stabilization (DIS)
Available modes:

allows you to stabilize the image by electroni-
cally compensating for relatively minor image
shaking that is often annoying in close-up
shots.

mode, press the MENU button until the
menu screen appears.

the SET button.

menu screen.
• The DIS indicator only appears when the
on-screen indicators are turned on.
To cancel DIS function
Select “OFF” in step 4 above. The z indicator
will disappear.
Notes:
• The DIS function cannot compensate for
excessive image shaking.
• When image shaking does not occur (e.g. when
using the camcorder on a tripod), turn off the DIS
function. The picture will appear more natural
when the DIS function is off.
