Caution
The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera shake or camera shake that
occurs when the shutter speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].
When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilizer
function of either the lens or the camera.
If [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [I.S. 1], [I.S. 2] or [I.S. 3] and you turn off the
camera, the camera will vibrate. This is due to the camera initializing the image
stabilizer mechanism. Without this initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able
to achieve the proper effect.
You may notice an operating sound or vibration when the image stabilizer is activated.
The image stabilizer will not activate at shutter speeds of over 2 seconds.
If the internal temperature of the camera exceeds the speci
fi
ed temperature, the
image stabilizer is deactivated and the image stabilizer icon lights red on the monitor.
A blinking icon indicates a malfunction; consult an Olympus Authorized Service Center.
