Stabiliser, 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 Stabiliser 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/25p], the stabiliser
function may be weaker compared to other picture quality settings.
•
TZ100/TZ101
The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabiliser function is not available when recording motion pictures for
which [Rec Quality] is set to either [4K/100M/25p] or [4K/100M/24p].
•
TZ80/TZ81
The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabiliser function is not available when recording motion pictures for
which [Rec Quality] is set to [4K/100M/25p].
●
Cases where the stabiliser 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
