Stabilizer, Zoom and Flash
Correcting jitter
Recording mode:
Automatically detects and prevents jitter. For motion picture recording, the 5-Axis Hybrid
Image Stabilizer function is available. It uses both the optical stabilizer of the lens and the
electronic stabilizer of the camera’s sensor. It corrects different types of jitters including
those that occur during zoom recording and also recording while walking.

[Operation Mode]
(Normal)
Corrects vertical and horizontal jitter.
(Panning)
Corrects vertical jitter. This setting is ideal for panning
(technique of recording a subject by matching the camera
movement with the movement of a subject going in a specific
direction). We recommend using the Viewfinder.
[OFF]
[Stabilizer] does not work.
[E-Stabilization
(Video)]
Corrects jitters that occur in 5 directions during motion picture recording,
namely the vertical direction, horizontal direction, rotation axis, vertical rotation,
and horizontal rotation (5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function).
[ON] / [OFF]
• [
] is displayed on the screen while recording motion pictures.
• It is fixed to [ON] when [Level Shot] is set.
• The angle of view may become narrower as compared to that during
recording.
To prevent jitter
If a warning is displayed about jitter, use [Stabilizer], a tripod, [Self Timer] or the
shutter remote control (DMW-RS2: optional).
●
Using a slower shutter speed can cause motion blur. Shutter speed will be
slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the
moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen.
We recommend using a tripod.
