# Optical image stabilizer function

Camera shake can be reduced by using the optical image stabilizer function when shooting while holding the camera by hand.

You can use the hybrid optical image stabilizer function.

The hybrid optical image stabilizer function is an optical image stabilizer that combines optical and electronic methods.

## Enabling/disabling the optical image stabilizer function

Select the [CAMERA] menu → [SW MODE] → [O.I.S.] → [ON].

- You can enable or disable the optical image stabilizer function by pressing the <O.I.S.> button.

## Enabling/disabling the hybrid optical image stabilizer function

Select the [CAMERA] menu → [SW MODE] → [HYBRID O.I.S.] → [ON].

Enable the hybrid optical image stabilizer function for more powerful image stabilization when holding the camera and shooting a subject far away with zoom.

When the hybrid optical image stabilizer function is enabled, is displayed on the LCD monitor.

## Optical image stabilizer settings according to shooting conditions

You can set the optical image stabilizer settings according to the shooting conditions.

Select the [CAMERA] menu → [SW MODE] → [O.I.S. MODE] → [NORMAL]/[PAN/TILT]/[STABLE].

[NORMAL]: Specifies the standard setting for a good balance of correction for large and small camera shake.

[PAN/TILT]: Specifies a setting appropriate for shooting that uses a lot of panning and tilting of the camera.

[STABLE]: Specifies a setting appropriate for fixing a composition to shoot a subject.

- Toggles [NORMAL], [PAN/TILT], and [STABLE] in order each time the USER button to which [O.I.S. MODE] is assigned is pressed or the USER button icon is touched.

NOTE

- Stabilization may not be possible when the camera has a large amount of shake.

- When using a tripod, disabling the optical image stabilizer function will allow you to obtain natural images.
