You can check the effect of the IS mode on image blur on
the LCD monitor since the IS mode runs continually. This
makes it easier to compose images and focus on
subjects.
IS mode is only activated when the shutter button is
pressed, so subjects will be captured with reduced blur
even if their movements on the LCD monitor are not
smooth. This option is not available in the movie mode.
This option only stabilizes the effect of up and down
camera motions on the image. This option is
recommended for shooting objects moving horizontally.
This option is not available in the movie mode.
