For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P30.
Type of optical measurement to measure brightness can be changed.
Applicable modes:
 
NoteWhen the AF mode is set to [ š] while [C] is selected, exposure is adjusted to the face of a 
person, and when it is set to [ ], exposure is adjusted to the locked subject.
For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P30.
Using one of these modes, jitter during picture taking is detected, and the camera 
automatically compensates the jitter , enabling jitter-free images to be taken.
Check that the [O.I.S.] switch on the lens is set to [ON].
Applicable modes:
 
Note The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.
– When there is a lot of jitter.
– When the zoom magnification is high.
– When using the digital zoom.
– When taking pictures while following a moving subject.
– When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.
C  [METERING MODE]
[C ]: Multiple
This is the method in which the camera measures the most 
suitable exposure by judging the allocation of brightness on the 
whole screen automatically. Usually, we recommend using this 
method.
[ ]: Center weighted This is the method used to focus on the subject on the center 
of the screen and measure the whole screen evenly.
[ Ù ]: Spot
This is the method to measure the subject in the spot metering 
target  A.
 [STABILIZER]
[MODE1] : Jitter is always compensated during [REC] mode.
[MODE2] : The jitter is compensated for when the shutter button is pressed.
[MODE3] : Camera shake is corrected for up/down movements. This mode is ideal for 
panning (a method of taking pictures which involves turning the camera to 
track the movements of a subject which continues to move in a fixed 
direction).

Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.
 The panning effect in [MODE3] is more di fficult 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
 We recommend taking pictures with the Viewfinder when panning in [MODE3 ].
 [STABILIZER] cannot be selected when a lens without stabilizer function is used.
 The setting is fixed to [MODE1] in recording motion pictures.
