Image Stabilizer (IS Mode)

This menu is displayed for configuration of camera IS mode settings when you are using a non-IS lens. With IS-equipped lenses, setting the lens Image Stabilizer switch to ON combines stabilization by the lens and camera.

  1. Select [Shooting: IS (Image Stabilizer) mode] ().

  2. Select [IS mode].

    • Select [On] to use IS mode on the camera.

  3. Select [Still photo IS].

    • [Always]: Provides constant image stabilization.
    • [Only for shot]: Image stabilization is active only at the moment of shooting.

Caution

  • In some cases, this may not provide sufficient stabilization for certain lenses.

Note
