Image Stabilization
In CAMERA mode, you can use the image stabilizer to compensate for camera shake and achieve steadier
shots. The image stabilizer is more effective at wider angles and the effect is reduced the more you approach the
telephoto end.
The camera’s image stabilization is not available for RAW clips.
1Select > [

Camera Setup] > [Digital Image Stabilization] > [On].
When using lenses not compatible with camera-lens communication, perform step 2 to enter the lens’s focal
length manually. With compatible lenses, skip to step 3.
Image stabilization is activated and appears on the left of the screen.
2Select > [
v
Camera Setup] > [Lens Focal Length] and enter the lens’s focal length using the

NOTES
NOTES
If the IS function is turned off on an EF lens, the camera’s image stabilization function is deactivated too and
the icon will flash on the left of the screen.
Even if the IS function is turned off on a B4 broadcast lens, it will not affect the camera’s image stabilization
function.
Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, subject blur may be more prominent (the subject may be
momentarily blurred) due to the use of image stabilization.
When using TS-E lenses and fisheye lenses, turning off the camera’s image stabilization is recommended.
When the camera is expected to be stable, for example when it is mounted on a tripod, turning off the
camera’s image stabilization is recommended.
If the degree of camera shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully.
The camera’s image stabilization will not function when using super telephoto lenses with a focal length
exceeding 1000 mm.
