(Normal) Corrects vertical and horizontal jitter.
(Panning)Corrects vertical jitter. This setting is ideal for panning (technique of recording a 
subject by matching the camera movement with the movement of a subject g\
oing 
in a specific direction).
[OFF] [Stabilizer] does not work.
To prevent jitter
If a warning is displayed about jitter, use [Stabilizer], a tripod, or [Self 
Timer].
 ●Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep 
the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until 
the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.

 ●When you use a tripod, we recommend setting [Stabilizer] to [OFF]. ●[Stabilizer] cannot be used by selecting [  ] (Normal) in Panorama Shot Mode. ●In the following cases, the [Stabilizer] will switch to [   ] (Normal), even if it is set to [  ]

 • During motion picture recording • When 4K Photo function has been set • When recording using [Post Focus

]
 ●[Stabilizer] cannot be used when recording high-speed motion pictures. ●The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function automatically functions whil\
e recording motion 
pictures. This corrects jitters that occur in 5 directions during motion picture r\
ecording, namely the 
vertical direction, horizontal direction, rotation axis, vertical rotati\
on, and horizontal rotation.
 • The recording range may become narrower
 .
 • The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function is not available when record\
ing motion pictures for which [

Rec Quality] is set to either [4K/100M/30p] or [4K/100M/24p].
 ●Cases where the stabilizer function may be ineffective: • When there is a lot of jitter • When the zoom magnification is high (also in the Digital Zoom range) • When taking pictures while following a moving subject • When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dar\
k places ●The panning effect by selecting [  ] is not fully achieved in the following case s: • Bright summer days or other bright locations • When the shutter speed is higher than 1/100 seconds • When the motion of a subject is slow and the speed with which the camera\
 is moved is too slow 
(a nice background blur is not achieved)
 • When the camera is not adequately tracking the motion of a subject
