Using lenses other than Micro Four Thirds/Four Thirds System lenses
You can use focal length information to reduce camera shake when shooting with lenses that
are not Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds system lenses.
• Set [Image Stabilizer], press the Q button, press the INFO button, then use FGHI to
select a focal length, and press the Q button.
• Choose a focal length between 0.1 mm and 1000.0 mm.
• Choose the value that matches the one printed on the lens.
• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that occurs
when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is recommended
that you use a tripod.
• When using a tripod, set [Image Stabilizer] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function switch, priority is given to the lens
side setting.
• When priority is given to the lens side image stabilization, [S-IS1] is used instead of [S-IS
AUTO].
• You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
