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.
  • [IS (Image Stabilizer) mode] is not available when lenses with an IS switch are used. Use the IS switch on the lens instead.

Note

Focal Length

Image stabilization based on your specified lens focal length is possible by setting the focal length when using lenses that do not support lens communication.

  1. Select [Focal length].

  2. Set the focal length.

    • Turn the Quick control dial 1 dial to select the digit of the focal length.
    • Press SET to display [Adjust].
    • Set the desired number, then press SET. (Returns to [Select].)

  3. Select [OK].

Caution

  • Set [Custom Functions: Release shutter w/o lens] to [Enable]. [Disable] prevents image stabilization.
  • [Focal length] is not displayed when lenses are attached that support lens communication.

Note

  • Focal length can be set in a range of 1–1000 mm (in 1 mm increments).
