The Image Stabilizer may not function properly when:
- you move your camera to follow a moving subject
- you use the Digital zoom
- there is too much camera shake
- the shutter speed is slow (for example, when you capture night
scenes)
- the battery is low
- you capture a close-up shot
•
If you use the OIS function with a tripod, your images may be blurred
by the vibration of the OIS sensor. Deactivate the OIS function when
you use a tripod.
•
The camera will correct photos optically only when the light source is
brighter than fluorescent light.
•
If the camera is hit or dropped, the display will be blurry. If this
occurs, turn off the camera, and then turn it on again.
•
In Scene, Magic Plus and Movie modes, you can only use the
Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS).
