How do I get maximum image stabilization? I get fuzzy photos now

Good lighting will reduce exposure time which means less time to shake. Minimum zooming, holding your breath and steadying your hand by placing your elbow against your chest are all helpful. This model has no electronic nor optical stabilizer. Great camera but selector knob is too easy to disturb.

Avoid extra digital zoom. The brighter the light the better. In lower light try evening setting. Do what you can to hold still. I can't remember if there is a setting for stabilization method you can check.

Many cameras have a Sports setting which uses a higher shutter speed. Or is there shutter priority? I have several Lumix cams, but not this one.

sorry, did not see this until now. Hope you bought the lens - awesome. It has image stabilization 3 choices off and 2 on's. one for vertical and one for horizontal movement. Here are some butterflies I photo'd with it. www.patricialamphotography.com/flowers/flowers (yes twice on flowers) first 3 photos. very sharp. Wish my Canon 85 mm f1.4 and 24-70 f2.8 had image stabilization. Sorry for the delay

The Sony does have a stabilization feature. How steady depends on you. I know I've pulled away from the shot too soon and had it blur. But I've taken photos of a large fountain, and photos on a moving ocean liner in choppy water and the photos were fine. Hope that helps.

Hmmm....the images are so stable under even bad lighting that I thought it had image stablilization!

How much better is the Image Stabilization? I have a Lumix FZ28 thanks. Bill

Which camera are you using? Which lens are you using? Some of the lenses have switches on the barrel. For those which do not , you should find the "off" in the same place where you select the stabilization mode (i.e. mode 1, mode 2). Look under the Rec Menu. It should be there. Without knowing what items you are attempting to work with, that is about as specific as I can get.

Not much has been said about whether or not the 'improved' image stabilization is actually improved that much. I have the FZ28 and at 18X it can be a little shaky. Has anyone found it improved in the FZ35?

As you already found out, no it doesnt support Image Stabilization but a higher ISO does sharpen the image in the most of the situations where pictures would normally come out blurry (low light). It's pretty hard to blur an picture in bright light if you are fairly still and have the object in focus.

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.

Exactly, I have the same experience. Once the lens focusing is a bit stiffer then the follow focus jumps up and down.The only solution is to replace this follow focus with the one without the quick release, as I did and I am quite satisfied now:Fotga upgrade DP500IIS dampen follow focus with A/B hard stop for DSLR CameraFotga upgrade DP500IIS dampen follow focus with A/B hard stop for DSLR Camera

Great picture quality in natural light, low light is OK but stabilization is terrible.

Personally, I haven't had a problem with minor movement or taking a picture on the move, briefly stopping for the pic, and moving again. We just completed a trip to Europe, and the photos were fantastic. Sharp and clear. But I think it's up to you and how steady you think your hands are. Most new cameras today, like Sony, have image stabilization. But there is a point where stabilization and shaky become two different things.

this is the camera activating the stabilization, you need to tap the bottom of the camera to get it started. Panasonic has a firmware update that fixes this from happening again.

Hi Donald, The SteadyShot (image stabilization) function is set to [On] in the default setting. You can also turn off/on the SteadyShot function by pressing the [MENU] button --&gt; (camera icon) 1 --&gt; [SteadyShot] --&gt; [Off]. -Anthony

In low light, noise and motion artifacts are tradeoffs. Are you getting noise because you've set the ISO "too high"? You might try multiple shots of the same image with different speed / ISO settings. Drop the ISO until motion artifacts become unacceptable. It's a subjective game. But the point of expensive equipment like this is that you should be able to get a good image with less of both noise and motion artifact.

You can set the ISO to a high setting and get fast shutter speeds. That will make the pictures sharp.The action setting should do this automatically.

The image stabilizer is a good feature of a digital camera but it more helps for people who can't hold a camera still. I had my mom wave her hand back and forth and the picture still came out still. I also took a picture of a girl on those wheelie sneakers and she didn't come out blurry either.
