Shooting Mode
Continuous You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur on the LCD
monitor (or viewfinder) since the IS mode runs continually. This makes it
easier to compose images and focus on subjects.
Shoot Only IS mode is only activated when the shutter button is pressed, so subjects
will be captured with reduced blur even if their movements the LCD
monitor (or viewfinder) are not smooth. This option is not available in the
mode.
Panning This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down camera motions on
the image. This option is recommended for shooting objects moving
horizontally. This option is not available in the
mode.
