Using the Image Stabilizer
• When using a lens with an O.I.S. switch, set it to [ON].
• When using lenses without a function for communicating with this camera, a message asking
you to check the focal length setting is displayed after you turn on the camera.
Correctly operating the image stabilization function requires that the focal length be set to
match the attached lens.
Set the focal length in accordance as prompted by the message.
This can also be set using the menu.
Preventing jitter (camera shake)
When the jitter alert [
] appears, use [Stabilizer], a tripod, the self-timer or the shutter
remote control (DMW-RS2: optional).
• 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.
– Slow Sync.
– Slow Sync./Red-Eye Reduction
– [Clear Nightscape]/[Cool Night Sky]/[Warm Glowing Nightscape]/[Artistic Nightscape]/
[Glittering Illuminations]/[Clear Night Portrait] (Scene Guide Mode)
– When you set to a slow shutter speed
