Commonly Used Shooting Functions

See Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 207).

* Only [Continuous] and [Off] can be set.

The lens shift image stabilizer function (IS mode) allows you to

minimize the camera shake effect (blurred images) when you shoot

distant subjects that have been magnified or when you shoot in dark

conditions without a flash.

Ensure that the camera’s date/time is set beforehand (p. 13).

z The date stamp cannot be deleted from the image data once

it has been embedded.

To imprint the date on all but size images, use the supplied

software (ZoomBrowser EX or ImageBrowser) or printer

settings. For details, please see the user guide for each

product.

Setting the Image Stabilizer Function

Shooting Mode

Off Turns off the image stabilizer function.

Continuous

You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur on

the LCD monitor since the IS mode runs continually. This

makes it easier to compose images and focus on

subjects.

Shoot Only

IS mode is only activated when the shutter button is

pressed, so subjects will be captured with reduced blur

even if their movements on the LCD monitor are not

smooth.

Panning

This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down

camera motions on the image. This option is

recommended for shooting objects moving horizontally.
