A Steady Image Is a Beautiful Image
Intelligent IS
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology, Intelligent IS analyzes
camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation. For
stills, the system automatically selects among Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS
modes. When shooting video, the system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered,
Macro and Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting
the camera make the most effective IS settings to assure the steadiest possible image.
Normal
Corrects for a wide range
of camera movement when
shooting stills.
Panning
Panning motion is
detected so that IS does
not interfere with desired
camera movement.
Hybrid
Corrects for shift-type
camera shake, which
typically occurs in macro
(close-up) shooting.
Dynamic
Effective for video shooting
at wide-angle focal lengths,
eliminating the unwanted
shaking that typically
occurs while walking.
Powered
Compensates for hand
movement when shooting
video at the telephoto end
of the zoom range, where
camera shake is
magnified.
Tripod
When tripod use is
detected, the Image
Stabilizer is stopped
because it is not needed.
