8. Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer

In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or 

outdoors at night.

In locations where flash photography is 

prohibited, such as art museums and theater 

stages.

In situations where your footing is uncertain.

In situations where fast shutter settings 

cannot be used.

When panning subjects in motion. 

 

 MODE 3

Since camera shake is stabilized only during 

exposure, following a subject is easier such 

as when shooting a fast and irregularly 

moving player during sports photography.
