Setting Details
IMAGE_STABILIZER_OFF   OFF

Deactivates image stabilizer.

IMAGE_STABILIZER_EIS   ON

Reduces camera shake under normal shooting conditions.

IMAGE_STABILIZER_+1   ON (AIS)
( MOVIE video mode only)

Reduces camera shake more effectively when shooting bright scenes on the wide angle end.
Only on the wide angle end (approx. 5x).

IMAGE_STABILIZER_+2 (Enhanced AIS)
( MOVIE video mode only)

The area of correction in the enhanced AIS mode is greater than that in the AIS mode. Camera shake can be reduced more effectively even when recording is performed by zooming from wide angle to telephoto, or moving together with the subject.

Memo

  • It is recommended to set the image stabilizer to “OFF” when shooting a subject of little movement with the unit on a tripod.
  • Complete stabilization may not be possible if camera shake is excessive.
  • When “ON (AIS)” is set, the angle of view becomes narrower. In the enhanced AIS mode, the angle of view becomes even narrower than “ON (AIS)”.
  • Dynamic zoom is not available in the enhanced AIS mode.
  • Image stabilization only starts when the SNAPSHOT button is pressed halfway during still image recording.
