Notes
• When OIS is active, there will be a
slight divergence between the actual
camera and the on-screen movements.

movement may not be corrected if the
movement is too excessive.
We recommend you stabilize the
camcorder using both hands and
support your arms against your body
when recording.
• OIS may not function correctly when
a tele-conversion lens or wide-
conversion lens is used.
• We recommend turning OIS Off
when you position the camcorder on a
table or use a tripod when recording.
