Image Stabilization; Dynamic Is Or Standard Is; Powered Is - Canon VIXIA GX10 Instruction Manual

Image Stabilization

Image Stabilization
Use the image stabilizer to compensate for camcorder shake in order to achieve steadier shots. The camcorder
offers 3 methods of image stabilization.
56
Dynamic IS (Ä): Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting
while walking, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide angle.
Standard IS (Å): Standard IS compensates for a lower degree of camcorder shake, for example, for handheld
shots while you remain stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.
Powered IS (Ç): Powered IS is most effective when you are stationary and zooming in on far subjects using
high zoom ratios (the more you approach the telephoto end). This mode is not suitable for tilting and panning
shots.
Operating modes:

Dynamic IS or Standard IS

1 Select [Image Stabilizer].
> [v # Camera Setup] > [Image Stabilizer]
2 Touch [¯ Standard] (Standard IS) or [° Dynamic] (Dynamic IS) and then touch [X].
• Touch [® Off] instead to turn off the image stabilization, for example, when the camcorder is mounted on
a tripod.
• The icon of the selected mode appears at the top center of the screen.

Powered IS

Press and hold the POWERED IS button as long as you
want to activate Powered IS.
• È appears in yellow while Powered IS is activated.
NOTES NOTES
• The angle of view will change when [Image Stabilizer] is set to [Ä Dynamic].
• If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully.
• Powered IS is available even when [Image Stabilizer] is set to [Ì Off].
• You can change the operation of the POWERED IS button (long press or toggle on/off) with the [v Camera
Setup] > [Powered IS Button] setting.
• When using Dynamic IS, the edges of the picture may be adversely affected (ghosting, artifacts and/or dark
areas may appear) when compensating for a high degree of camcorder shake.
