Turning The Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off - Canon Ultura Instruction Manual

Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off

With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable
during telephoto recording. However, the ULTURA's Optical Image Stabilizer
allows you to obtain steady recordings even at high magnification. Unlike
electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss of picture quality. The Optical Image
Stabilizer can compensate for a wide range of camera movement — you can
record stable images even if you are shooting from a moving car.
Before you start recording, push the i on/off button to turn the image stabilizer
on or off.
• The i mark appears in the display when the stabilizer is on.
• The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the POWER switch is set to the
[ (Easy Recording) position.
Notes:
• The image stabilizer is designed to deal with a normal degree of camera shake.
• Keep the image stabilizer turned off when the camera is mounted on a tripod.
• The image stabilizer is not as effective as usual when the tele-converter
(optional) is attached.
• The Canon Optical Image Stabilizer system shifts an internal lens to remove
camera shake. When the camcorder is turned off, the lens moves freely. This
may produce a clicking sound when the camera is moved. This is not
malfunction.
