Camera Movement Compensation; Recording Sound With Movies - Olympus SP-500 Advanced Manual

Camera movement compensation

This function reduces the blur incurred by camera movement when taking movies.
The area in which the picture is captured by the CCD is adjusted according to
movement of the subject, thereby enabling recording of the picture with reduced
blurring of the subject. The images are recorded slightly larger when [h] is set to
[ON].

Note
• When the camera moves a lot or the subject is moving quickly, the
compensation function may not operate effectively.
• When taking pictures with the camera stabilized, set [h] to [OFF], otherwise
the movement of the subject may cause the image on the screen to move.
