Image Stabilization - Canon XF605 Instruction Manual

Image Stabilization

You can use the image stabilizer to compensate for camera shake and achieve steadier shots. Select an IS
mode that best fits your needs. When you are stationary and zooming in on far subjects using high zoom ratios,
it is possible to compensate for a high degree of camera shake by using Powered IS.
Dynamic IS Ä: Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of camera 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 camera shake, such as when shooting while
remaining stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.
Powered IS È: 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.

NOTES NOTES
• If the degree of camera shake is too high, the image
stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully.
• 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.
• The screen will turn black momentarily when you switch between Dynamic IS and Standard IS or vice versa.
• You cannot switch between Dynamic IS and Standard IS while recording.
• When using Dynamic IS, the angle of view will be narrower.
