Image Stabilizer

You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode.

This function provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following shots).

¡

The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.

¡

The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or other transportation.

¡

The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the function.
