Commonly Used Shooting Functions
70
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.
z
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.
