This camera can use both the in-body image stabilizer and the in-lens image stabilizer.

Compatible with the Dual I.S. method, which effectively combines two image stabilizers, and the Dual I.S.2 method, which has a higher stabilizing effect.

Furthermore, during video recording, you can use the 5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer that incorporates electronic stabilization.

Combinations of lenses and image stabilizers (As of May 2021)

Image stabilizers that can be used will differ depending on the attached lens.

Attached lens	Available image stabilizer	Example of icon
Panasonic lenses compatible with Dual I.S. Mode (Based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard) If the [] or [] icon is not displayed on the recording screen even when a compatible lens is used, update the lens firmware to the latest version. (Firmware of Your Camera/Lens)	BodyLens (Dual I.S./Dual I.S.2)	/
Lenses compatible with the image stabilizer function (Based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard)	Body or Lens
Lenses without image stabilizer	Body
Lenses without communication function	Body

The 5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer ( character_reference Image Stabilizer Settings) can be used with any lenses.

character_diamond Using the Image Stabilizer

When using a lens with an O.I.S. switch, set the switch on the lens to [ON].

When using a lens that does not have a communication function with this camera, after turning on the camera, a message asking for confirmation of the lens information is displayed.

Correctly operating the image stabilization function requires that the focal length and lens name be set to match the attached lens.

Follow the message to make the settings.

This can also be set using the menu. ( character_reference [Lens Information])

When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera shake alert icon [ icon_jitter ] may be displayed on the recording screen.

If this is displayed, we recommend using a tripod, the self timer or the Shutter Remote Control (DMW-RS2: optional).

We recommend turning off the image stabilizer function when using a tripod.

The image stabilizer may cause vibration or produce operational sound during operation, but these are not malfunctions.

When using a lens that does not have a communication function with this camera, you can hide the message asking for confirmation of the lens information that is displayed after turning on the camera:

[] [] [Lens Info. Confirmation] ( character_reference [Lens Info. Confirmation])

You can display the reference point and check the camera shake status:

[] [ icon_video-display-output ] [I.S. Status Scope] ( character_reference [I.S. Status Scope])

Image Stabilizer Settings

Set the image stabilizer operation to match the recording situation.

button_menu-set [ icon_picture ] [ icon_photo-other ] Select [Image Stabilizer]

[Operation Mode]	Sets the stabilization movement (blur) to match the recording method (normal, panning). ([Operation Mode])
[E-Stabilization (Video)]	Camera shake during video recording is corrected along the vertical, horizontal, roll, pitch, and yaw axes through the combined use of the in-lens, in-body, and electronic image stabilizers. (5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer) The [] on the recording screen changes to [] while [E-Stabilization (Video)] is functioning. The angle of view may become narrower if set to [ON].
[Boost I.S. (Video)]	Increases the effectiveness of the image stabilizer during video recording. This effect can help provide a stable composition when you want to perform recording from a fixed perspective. ([Boost I.S. (Video)])
[Anamorphic (Video)]	You can switch to an image stabilizer that suits anamorphic recording. ([Anamorphic (Video)])
[Lens Information]	When using a lens that does not have a communication function with the camera, register the lens information in the camera. ([Lens Information])

When the following functions are being used, [E-Stabilization (Video)] is not available:

– [Variable Frame Rate]

– [Live Cropping]

character_diamond [Operation Mode]

Set the stabilization movement (blur) to match the recording method (normal, panning).

	[Normal]	Corrects vertical, horizontal, and rotational camera shake. This function is suitable for normal recording.
	[Panning (Left/Right)]	Corrects vertical camera shake. This is suitable for horizontal panning.
	[Panning (Up/Down)]	Corrects horizontal camera shake. This is suitable for vertical panning.
[OFF]		Turns the image stabilization function OFF.

The [Operation Mode] that can be used differ depending on the lens used.

When using lenses with an O.I.S. switch, the camera’s operation mode cannot be set to [OFF]. Set the switch on the lens to [OFF].

When the following functions are being used, [Operation Mode] switches to [ icon_stabilizer ] ([Normal]):

– [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ] mode

– Video recording/[6K/4K PHOTO]/[Post-Focus]

character_diamond [Boost I.S. (Video)]

Increase the effectiveness of the image stabilizer during video recording.

This effect can help provide a stable composition when you want to perform recording from a fixed perspective.

Settings: [ON]/[OFF]

When [Boost I.S. (Video)] is operating, [ icon_stabilizer-lock ] is displayed on the recording screen.

To change composition while recording, first set this to [OFF] before moving the camera.

To set this to [OFF] during recording, use the Fn button. ( character_reference Fn Buttons)

Longer focal lengths will result in weaker stabilization.

character_diamond [Anamorphic (Video)]

You can switch to an image stabilizer that suits anamorphic recording.

Settings:

[ icon_stabilizer-anamo2 ]([2.0 character_times_regular ])/[ icon_stabilizer-anamo18 ]([1.8])/[ icon_stabilizer-anamo15 ]([1.5])/[ icon_stabilizer-anamo133 ]([1.33])/[ icon_stabilizer-anamo130 ]([1.30])/[OFF]

Make settings to suit the magnification of the anamorphic lens you are using.

While [Anamorphic (Video)] is functioning, the set magnification appears on the image stabilizer icons on the recording screen, as shown by [ icon_stabilizer-anamo2 ] and [ icon_stabilizer-anamo-erectroc2 ].

When [Boost I.S. (Video)] is set, [Boost I.S. (Video)] is prioritized.
