KImage Stabilizer

S-IS Off (Still-I.S. Off)

Image stabilizer is off. Select this option when using a tripod.
S-IS Auto (Auto I.S.)

Image stabilization applies to motion on all axes.

If panning motion is detected, the camera will automatically suspend image stabilization on that axis.
S-IS1 (All Direction Shake I.S.)

Image stabilization applies to motion on all axes.
S-IS2 (Vertical Shake I.S.)

Image stabilization applies to vertical motion.

Use when panning the camera horizontally.
S-IS3 (Horizontal Shake I.S.)

M-IS Off (Movie-I.S. Off)

Image stabilizer is off.
M-IS1 (All Direction Shake I.S.)

Electronic image stabilization combined with VCM-controlled image sensor movement.
M-IS2 (All Direction Shake I.S.)

VCM-controlled image sensor movement only.

Electronic image stabilization is not performed.

Setting the detailed option of image stabilizer

When using lenses other than Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds system lenses, input the focal length of the lens.

  1. Press the INFO button while configuring [KImage Stabilizer] or [nImage Stabilizer]. Input the focal length using FGHI and then press the OK button.

    Focal Length

    Set the lens focal length. Input the number that is printed on the lens.

    [0.1] – [1000.0] mm
    • Image stabilization may be unable to compensate for excessive camera motion or very slow shutter speeds. Use a tripod in these cases.
    • You may notice noise or vibration while image stabilization is in effect.

    • The setting selected with the lens image stabilization switch, if any, takes priority over that selected with the camera.

      This can be changed. g “Stabilization for IS Lenses (Lens I.S. Priority)”

    • [S-IS Auto] functions as [S-IS1] when [On] is selected for [Lens I.S. Priority].
    • When you select [S-IS Auto] or [S-IS1] with B SH2/ProCap SH2 selected as the drive mode (“Performing the sequential/self-timer shooting”), the image stabilization will be suitable for camera moves in the depth direction, compared to when used with other sequential shooting modes.
    • You can choose whether image stabilization will be performed while the shutter button is pressed halfway. g “Half-press image stabilization (6Image Stabilizer)”
