Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off

E
With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable
during telephoto recording. However, the VISTURA's Optical Image Stabilizer
allows you to obtain steady recordings even at 16 or 64 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.
