Automatically detects and prevents jitter.
1Set the menu
 →  [Rec] → [Stabilizer]
2Use   to select the item and press [MENU/SET]
(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 going in a specific direction). We recommend using the 
Viewfinder.
[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.

Correcting jitter
 ●When you use a tripod, we recommend setting [Stabilizer] to [OFF]. [  ] is displayed on the 
screen at that time.
 ●[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 [  ] 
(Panning):
 • 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 decreases the jitter of the image when recording motion pictures wh\
ile zooming or 
walking, etc.
 • The recording range may become narrower. • If you record an [MP4] motion picture with the [Rec Quality] set to [VGA\
/4M/30p], the stabilizer  function may be weaker compared to other picture quality settings.
 •ZS100The 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].
 •ZS60The 5-axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer function is not available when record\
ing motion pictures for 
which [Rec Quality] is set to [4K/100M/30p].
 ●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 cases: • 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

To increase the zoom ratio further, the following zoom can be used in combination.
[i.Zoom]
Recording mode: 
You can use the camera’s Intelligent Resolution technology to increase the zoom ratio up 
to 2x higher than the original zoom ratio with limited deterioration of \
picture quality.

simultaneously with [i.Zoom], you can only increase the zoom ratio up to 2x.
Note that, with Digital Zoom, enlarging will decrease picture quality.

 ●When using [Digital Zoom], we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer  (→208) for taking 
pictures.
