Using Image Stabilization

You can suppress blurring of the image due to shaking when shooting by enabling the image stabilization function.

Note

  • Image stabilization cannot be used when [Project] – [Anamo. De-Squeeze] – [Ratio] is set to other than [Off(1.0x)] in the full menu.

Enabling image stabilization

Set [Shooting] – [Image Stabilization] – [SteadyShot] to [Standard] / [Active] / [Dynamic Active] in the full menu.

  • [Standard]: Reduces blurring of captured images caused by camera shake.
  • [Active]: Applies more powerful correction than [Standard] for correcting stronger camera shake, such as shooting while walking. The framing shifts slightly to the telephoto side.
  • [Dynamic Active]: Applies more powerful correction than [Active]. The framing is also narrower than [Active].
  • [Off]: Turns image stabilization mode off.

When not using image stabilization, set [SteadyShot] to [Off]. In this case, the use of a tripod is recommended.

Hint

  • When shooting using a tripod for stability, set image stabilization to [Off]. If you perform slow pan/tilt movements with image stabilization set to other than [Off], the image may become distorted.
  • You can also assign [SteadyShot] to [User 1] to [User 6] on the user functions screen.

Note

  • In the following cases, image stabilization cannot be set to [Active].

    • When [Project] – [Rec Format] – [Codec] is set to [X-OCN LT] / [X-OCN C1] / [X-OCN C2] in the full menu

    • When [Shooting] – [FPS] – [Fixed/Variable Select] is set to [Variable] in the full menu and [FPS Select] is set to 150fps or higher

    • When [Shooting] – [FPS] – [Fixed/Variable Select] is set to [Variable] in the full menu, [FPS Select] is set to 66fps or higher, and [Imager Mode] is set to FF 5K 17:9 / FFc 4.5K 17:9.

  • In the following cases, image stabilization cannot be set to [Dynamic Active].

    • When [Project] – [Rec Format] – [Codec] is set to [X-OCN LT] / [X-OCN C1] / [X-OCN C2] in the full menu

    • When [Project Frame Rate] is set to 100 or higher
