Using The Stabilizer Feature; Setting The Zoom Control - HP c200 User Manual

Using the Stabilizer Feature

The Stabilizer feature is for Photo mode only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos
caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement
and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera's ability to auto focus.
How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data
processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CMOS sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the
use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.
To activate Stabilizer
• Press the Stabilizer button
top of the camera to enable/disable stabilizer.
If Stabilizer is enabled, the stabilizer icon is displayed on
the LCD screen and the ISO setting is automatically set
to Automatic. See "ISO" on page 28 for more details.
