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

It is compatible with the Dual I.S.2 system that is an effective combination of the 2 image stabilizers.

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

bullet02The 5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer (character_reference[E-Stabilization (Video)]) can be used with any lenses.


character_diamondUsing the Image Stabilizer

bullet02When using a lens with an O.I.S. switch, set the switch on the lens to [ON].

bullet02When 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 be set to match the attached lens.

Set the focal length in accordance as prompted by the message.

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


icon_hints_s

bullet02When 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).

bullet02We recommend turning off the image stabilizer function when using a tripod.
