6.  Stabilizer, Zoom and Flash
Image Stabilizer
The camera can activate either  the In-Lens Image Stabilizer or  In-Body Image Stabilizer, or 
it can activate both of them and reduce jitter even more effect ively. (Dual I.S. Mode)
Dual I.S.2 ( ,  ,  ), which provides more effective correction, is  also supported.
For motion picture recording, you can use the 5-Axis Hybrid Ima ge Stabilizer, which makes 
use of the In-Lens Image Stabiliz er, In-Body Image Stabilizer, and Electronic Image 
Stabilizer.
•
The image stabilizers to be activated differ depending on your  lens. The icon for the currently 
activated image stabilizer is displayed on the recording screen .
