What are the differences among the three Image Stabilizer functions?
The Image Stabilizer has the following three options: • I.S. 1 – The Image Stabilizer corrects for camera shake on both the horizontal and vertical planes.I.S. 2 – The Image Stabilizer only corrects for vertical camera shake. This is to allow a photographer to use a low shutter speed and pan horizontally for creative effect. Situations in which this technique can be applied include tracking rapidly moving subjects such as flying birds, running wildlife, racing cars and athletes with the intention of blurring the background for a visual effect in the image. The result would be a sharply defined subject against a blurred background that might otherwise appear cluttered. • I.S. 3 – Corrects for horizontal camera shake when the camera is being panned up or down, such as following a diver from the diving board to the pool.
