recommend using a tripod.

- We recommend setting the O.I.S. switch to off when using a tripod.
- We recommend taking pictures with the viewfinder when panning in Panning.
- The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function automatically
functions while recording motion pictures. This decreases the
jitter of the image when recording motion pictures while
zooming or walking, etc.

following cases. Be careful of camera jitter when you press the
shutter button.

Panning is more difficult
to achieve in the following cases:
- In brightly lit places such as in broad daylight on a summer’s day.
- When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th of a second.
- When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. The background will not become a blur.
- When the camera does not keep up with the subject satisfactorily.
