    When in (Auto) mode, the mark displayed will automatically change to the one for the set image stabilization mode depending on the shooting situation.
    When in (Manual) mode, the image stabilization mode can be selected according to how you are shooting.

    The different Intelligent IS marks in (Auto) mode and how to set the image stabilization in (Manual) mode are as follows.

    IS modeShooting method
    DynamicCompensates for a higher degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide angle.

    REFERENCE
    • Powered IS
    You can use Powered IS to make the image stabilization even more powerful. 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). Holding the LCD panel with your left hand will add to the stability of the shot.
    1. Touch [ ].
    2. Drag your finger up or down and then touch [Powered IS].
    3. Touch [ ON] and then touch [ ].
    NOTE
    • If the degree of camcorder shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to fully compensate.
    • For surveying and following shots, when you pan the camcorder from side to side or tilt it up and down, we recommend setting the IS mode to [ Dynamic] or [ Standard].
