Optimal image stabilization for the shooting conditions (Intelligent IS) is 

automatically applied, and the following icons are displayed.

Image stabilization for still images (Normal)
Image stabilization for still images when panning (Panning)*
Image stabilization for angular camera shake and shift-shake in 

macro shots (Hybrid IS). For movies, [

] is displayed and [

] 

image stabilization is also applied.
Image stabilization for movies, reducing strong camera shake, as 

when recording while walking (Dynamic)
Image stabilization for slow camera shake, such as when 

recording movies at telephoto (Powered)
No image stabilization, because the camera is mounted on 

a tripod or held still by other means. However, during movie 

recording, [

] is displayed, and image stabilization to 

counteract wind or other sources of vibration is used (Tripod IS).

*  Displayed when you pan, following moving subjects with the camera. When you 

follow subjects moving horizontally, image stabilization only counteracts vertical 

camera shake, and horizontal stabilization stops. Similarly, when you follow 

subjects moving vertically, image stabilization only counteracts horizontal camera 

shake.

 

●

To cancel image stabilization, set [IS Mode] to [Off] (= 83). In 
this case, an IS icon is not displayed.

[

] is not available in [

] mode.

If the icon for one of the following scenes (in table’s left column) is 

displayed when you shoot a still image, the camera shoots continuously. If 

the icon for one of the following scenes (in table’s left column) is displayed 

when you press the shutter button halfway, one of the icons [ ], [ ], or 

[ ] is displayed to inform you that the camera shoots continuously.

Smiling

(including Babies)

Consecutive images are captured, and the camera 

analyzes details such as facial expressions to save 

the image determined to be the best.

Sleeping

(including Babies)

Beautiful shots of sleeping faces, created by 

combining consecutive shots to reduce camera 

shake and image noise.  

The AF-assist beam and the flash will not fire, and 

the shutter sound will not be played.

Children

So you don’t miss a photo opportunity of children 

who move around, the camera will capture three 

consecutive images for each shot.

 

●

In some scenes, expected images may not be saved, and images 
may not look as expected.

 

●

Focus, image brightness, and color are determined by the first 
shot.

 

●

When you want to shoot single images only, press the [ ] button, 
choose [

] in the menu, and then select [

].
