Digital Image Stabilization
(DIS)
The digital image stabilization (DIS) function is
factory preset to on to stabilize the image by
electronically compensating for relatively minor
image shaking that is often annoying in close-
up shots.

• The DIS function cannot compensate for
excessive image shaking.

when using the camcorder on a tripod), turn off
the DIS function. The picture will appear more
natural when the DIS function is off.

to OFF.
