Solusi

Use the image stabilizer to compensate for camcorder shake in order to achieve steadier shots. The camcorder offers 3 methods of image stabilization.

IMPORTANT

The procedure is shown on a XF405 for the purposes of explanation. The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.

IS mode	Shooting method
: Dynamic IS	Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide angle.
: Standard IS	Standard IS compensates for a lower degree of camcorder shake, for example, for handheld shots while you remain stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.
: Powered IS	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). This mode is not suitable for tilting and panning shots.

You can change the operation of the POWERED IS button (long press or toggle on / off) with the [ Camera Setup ] -> [Powered IS Button] setting.
When using Dynamic IS, the edges of the picture may be adversely affected (ghosting, artifacts and / or dark areas may appear) when compensating for a high degree of camcorder shake.
