M-IS2 Auto Image stabilization applies to camera shake in 
all directions.
Choosing a focal length (Micro Four Thirds/Four Thirds System lenses ex\
cluded)
Use focal length information to reduce camera shake when shooting with l\
enses that are not 
Micro Four Thirds or Four Thirds system lenses. •  Select [Image Stabilizer], press the INFO button, use HI to select a focal length, and  press Q.
•  Choose a focal length between 8 mm and 1000 mm.
•  Choose the value that most closely matches to the one that is printed on\
 the lens.
# Cautions
•  The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera sha\
ke that occurs  when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it i\
s recommended 
that you use a tripod.
•  When using a tripod, set [Image Stabilizer] to [OFF].
•  When using a lens with an image stabilization function switch, priority \
is given to the lens  side setting.
•  You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer \
is activated.
•  The image stabilizer will not activate at shutter speeds of over 2 secon\
ds.

pped to protect  the camera.

  Adjusting color (white balance)
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by th\
e camera 
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be 
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results 
or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.
1 Display the live control and select the white 
balance item using FG.
2 Select an option using  HI and press Q.

 One-touch white balance
Measure white balance by framing a piece of paper or other white object \
under the lighting 
that will be used in the fi nal photograph. This is useful when shooting a subject under natural 
light, as well as under various light sources with different color temperatures.
1 Select [P] or [ Q] (one-touch white balance 1 or 2) and press the  INFO 
button.
2 Photograph a piece of colorless (white or gray) paper.
•  Frame the object so that it fi  lls the display and no shadows fall it.
•  The one-touch white balance screen appears.
3 Select [Yes] and press Q.
•  The new value is saved as a preset white balance option.
•  The new value is stored until one-touch white balance is measured again.\
 Turning the  power off does not erase the data.
% Tips
•  If the subject is too bright or too dark or visibly tinted, the message \
[WB NG Retry] will be displayed and no value will be recorded. Correct the problem and repeat \
the process from 
Step 1.
  Setting the image aspect
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when tak\
ing pictures. 
Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (st\
andard), [16:9], 
[3:2], [1:1], or [3:4].
1 Display the live control and select the aspect ratio item using  FG.
2 Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.
# Cautions
•  JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not 
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ra\
tio.
•  When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.\
