Image Stabilization
Image Stabilization
Use the image stabilizer to compensate for camcorder shake in order to achieve steadier shots. The camcorder
offers the following IS modes. Select the one that best suits your needs.
Dynamic IS Ä: 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 IS Å: 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.
Powered IS È: 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.

mounted on a tripod.

NOTES
NOTES
• If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully.
• When using Dynamic IS, the edges of the picture may be adversely affected (ghosting, artifacts and/or dark
areas may appear) when compensating for a high degree of camcorder shake.
• The screen will turn black momentarily when you switch between Dynamic IS and Standard IS or vice versa.
• You cannot switch between Dynamic IS and Standard IS while recording.
