How to use the Image Stabilizer. - DMC-ZS45

Applicable Shooting modes

Press [MENU / SET] → [Rec] → [Stabilizer] → [ON] / [OFF]

The camera detects jitter during recording and automatically corrects it, so you can record images with reduced jitter. When recording motion pictures, “Active Mode” (stabilizer for motion pictures) will automatically function. This decreases the jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while walking, etc.
