Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off

With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable

during telephoto recording. However, the ULTURA’s Optical Image Stabilizer

allows you to obtain steady recordings even at high magnification. Unlike

electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss of picture quality. The Optical Image

Stabilizer can compensate for a wide range of camera movement — you can

record stable images even if you are shooting from a moving car.

Before you start recording, push the i on/off button to turn the image stabilizer

on or off.

• The i mark appears in the display when the stabilizer is on.

• The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the POWER switch is set to the

[ (Easy Recording) position.

Notes:

• The image stabilizer is designed to deal with a normal degree of camera shake.

• Keep the image stabilizer turned off when the camera is mounted on a tripod.

• The image stabilizer is not as effective as usual when the tele-converter

(optional) is attached.

• The Canon Optical Image Stabilizer system shifts an internal lens to remove

camera shake. When the camcorder is turned off, the lens moves freely. This

may produce a clicking sound when the camera is moved. This is not

malfunction.
