NOTES

• By default, assignable button 1 is set to [Standard] but you can also set

it for another assignable button instead. You can press the button to
activate standard IS.

• If you set an assignable button to [Dynamic IS] or [Powered IS]

(0 117), you can press the button to turn the assigned mode on or
off.

• If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may

not be able to fully compensate.

• When you are using [Dynamic] mode, the edges of the picture may be

adversely affected (such as ghosting, artifacts and dark areas) when
compensating for a high degree of camcorder shake.

[Standard]

Operating modes:

[Powered] Q:

Powered IS is most effective when you are stationary and
zooming in on far subjects using high zoom ratios (the
more you approach the telephoto end). This mode is not
suitable for tilting and panning shots.

[Dynamic] P:

Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of
camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walking,
and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide
angle.

[Standard] O:

Standard IS compensates for a lower degree of
camcorder shake, such as when shooting while remaining
stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking
scenes.

[Off]:

Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a
tripod.
