Digital Image Stabilization
(DIS)
The digital image stabilization (DIS) function is
factory preset to on to stabilize the image by
electronically compensating for relatively small
image shakes that are often annoying in close-
up shots.
The DIS function cannot compensate for
excessive image shakes, or for the subjects or
situations described below. In these cases,
turn off the DIS function and use the VIEWCAM
on a tripod.
• Subject with low contrast
• Subject with a plain background
• Dark or dimly lit subject
• Many moving subjects in a single frame
• Subject with vertical or horizontal stripes
