Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off

E
With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable
during telephoto recording. However, the OPTURA's Optical Image Stabilizer
allows you to obtain steady recordings even at 14 or 35 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, open the rear button cover and 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 program selector 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.
