Image Stabilization
Use the image stabilizer to compensate for camcorder shake in order to achieve steadier shots. The camcorder
offers 3 methods of image stabilization.
Dynamic IS (
Ä
): Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting
while walking, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide angle.
Standard IS (
Å
): Standard IS compensates for a lower degree of camcorder shake, for example, for handheld
shots while you remain stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.
Powered IS (
Ç
): 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). This mode is not suitable for tilting and panning
shots.
