[IMAGE STABILIZER]

K CAMERA MENU  IMAGE STABILIZER
: P A S M r  I A
Submenu 2
The image stabilizer is
deactivated. This is recommended
OFF for shooting when the camera is
fixed in place on a tripod or other
stable surface.
The image stabilizer is used for
taking pictures. Pressing the
ON
shutter button halfway down
activates the stabilizing function.
There may be a noise coming from inside
the camera when the shutter button is
pressed with [IMAGE STABILIZER] (still
images) set to [ON].
The image stabilizer can be less effective
during night shooting and other situations
where the shutter speed is extremely slow.
Images may not be stabilized if camera
shake is too severe.
When set to [ON], shooting a movie for
an extended period of time results in the
camera heating up, and the protective circuit
automatically shuts off the power.
