Image Stabilization
The image stabilizer reduces camcorder blur (blur due to the cam-
corder moving) so you can get nice, stable shots. Select the image sta-
bilization mode according to the shooting conditions. In
mode,
this function is set to [
Q
Standard] and cannot be changed.
* Available for movies only.

NOTES
• If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may
not be able to fully compensate. The image stabilizer may not be able to
successfully eliminate all blur if the camcorder or subject is moving too
much.
• The image stabilizer may not work well on subjects with low contrast,
with a recurring repetitive pattern or without vertical lines.
• When [Image Stabilizer] is set to [
P
Dynamic], if the background's
movement does not appear natural, select [
Q
Standard] or [
j
Off].
Operating modes:
[
P
Dynamic]
Compensates for a higher degree of camcorder
shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effec-
tive as the zoom approaches full wide angle.
[
Q
Standard]
Compensates for a lower degree of camcorder
shake, such as when shooting while remaining stationary, and is
suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes. Use this setting
when recording movies with the optional Wide-converter or Tele-
converter.
[
j
Off]
Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a tri-
pod.
