Stabilizer, Zoom and Flash
Correcting jitter
●
When you use a tripod, we recommend setting [Stabilizer] to [OFF]. [ ] is displayed on the
screen at that time.
●
[Stabilizer] cannot be used by selecting [ ] (Normal) in Panorama Shot Mode.
●
In the following cases, the [Stabilizer] will switch to [ ] (Normal), even if it is set to [ ]
(Panning):
•During motion picture recording
•When 4K Photo function has been set
•When recording using [Post Focus]
●
[Stabilizer] cannot be used when recording high-speed motion pictures.
●
The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function automatically functions while recording motion
pictures. This decreases the jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while zooming or
walking, etc.
•The recording range may become narrower.
•If you record an [MP4] motion picture with the [Rec Quality] set to [VGA/4M/30p], the stabilizer
function may be weaker compared to other picture quality settings.
•
ZS100
The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function is not available when recording motion pictures for
which [Rec Quality] is set to either [4K/100M/30p] or [4K/100M/24p].
•
ZS60
The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function is not available when recording motion pictures for
which [Rec Quality] is set to [4K/100M/30p].
●
Cases where the stabilizer function may be ineffective:
•When there is a lot of jitter
•When the zoom magnification is high (also in the Digital Zoom range)
•When taking pictures while following a moving subject
•When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places
●
The panning effect by selecting [ ] is not fully achieved in the following cases:
•Bright summer days or other bright locations
•When the shutter speed is higher than 1/100 seconds
•When the motion of a subject is slow and the speed with which the camera is moved is too slow
(a nice background blur is not achieved)
•When the camera is not adequately tracking the motion of a subject
