(C) IMAGE STABILIZATION BY THE IMAGE STABILIZER
The image stabilizer can be used in one of two statuses when the mechanical lock is released. Switch to
the required status when using.
Operating status where the anti-vibration optical system performs image
stabilization ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IS ON
Standby status where the anti-vibration optical system is electrically held to the optical
axis center ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IS OFF
(C-1) SWITCHING BETWEEN OPERATING AND STANDBY OPERATION
The operating and standby statuses are switched using the IS ON/OFF switch on the IS operation unit or
the lens drive unit. When in the IS ON status, both LEDs turn green to indicate that image stabilization is in
progress. When in the IS OFF status, the LED on the IS operation unit turns off, and the LED on the drive
unit turns orange. (The LED (green/orange) on the drive unit is supplied power from the anti-vibration opti-
cal system driving circuits.)

(C-2) BASIC OPERATION OF IMAGE STABILIZER
1. Use the pan-tilt operation to determine the picture composition.
2. If there is any noticeable shaking, turn on the image stabilizer to stabilize the image.
3. Perform the pan-tilt operation when the image stabilizer is turned off and in standby status.
*(NOTES): If the pan-tilt operation is performed rapidly while the image stabilizer is activated, the image
may exhibit an unintended, unnatural movement. This is because the image stabilizer is de-
tecting the pan-tilt movement as image shaking and trying to make the appropriate corrections.
Turn off the image stabilizer before performing the pan-tilt operation.
