What are the differences among the three Image Stabilizer options?
The Image Stabilizer function has the following three options: • I.S. 1: The Image Stabilizer corrects for camera shake on both horizontal and vertical axes. • I.S. 2: The Image Stabilizer only corrects for vertical camera shake. This allows a photographer to use a slow 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 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 a diving board to the pool.
