• The edges of the frame are cropped out when [M-IS On] is selected, reducing the area recorded.
• Image stabilizer is set to [M-IS Off] when [x], [y], or [z] are selected for movie quality.
• When using a tripod, set Image stabilizer to [S-IS Off] or [M-IS Off].
• Image stabilizer may be unable to fully compensate for the effects of camera movement if the movement is very large or the shutter speed very slow. In these cases, it is recommended that you use a tripod.
• You may notice an operating sound or vibrations when the image stabilizer is activated.
