Why would anyone disable the image stabilization?

Image stabilization can cause some subtle but strange behavior. If you don't want your subject in the middle of the picture, image stabilization will slowly try to put it there. I don't know how often this is a serious problem. Image stabilization is most useful for long zooms or walking shots. If you're using a tripod, you don't need it, might not want it.

To quote from the manual "Auto Motion PlusUse this to reduce blur and judder from scenes with rapid movement. If you selectCustom, youcan configure the afterimage and screen trembling removal ratio and you can view a sharperimage through theLED Clear Motionfunction. This feature is only available for LED 6300 seriesand above."This is the setting to enable or disable that effect.

Default is for Steady Shot to be on. Go to Still Image menu 2 and you will see Steady Shot and just turn it off as you would if camera were on a tripod.

yes, check your settings (resolution and stability and auto focus ) adjust accordingly and snap away

I never noticed it before, but something inside does make a noise when I shake the body (gently). It probably is the image stabilization. My camera seems to work OK, although I haven't had a chance to use it very much yet.

This is most likely down to the software, but in the camera's menu, under the playback options, should be an option for auto-rotate. Try turning that off and see what it does.

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.

Yes, but honestly the image quality suffers. I don't ever use them for that reason.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. A friend that bought it will probably be returning this camera because of the lack of that feature. :(

Yes. The default setting is to have stabilization on. You can turn it off in the menu.

no its doesnt. you dont want it anyway. it ruins the video because you hear the zoom motor in the video. thats why they usually dont enable it in cameras.

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

Yes, you can turn off the IS. The new version II super telephoto models (such as this one) have a new additional IS mode that will only activate as you trigger the shutter - the image in the viewfinder will not be shaking about while you're sighting things up prior to taking the shot as was the case in older models or other IS modes. Hope that helps. Mark

That's the big problem with this camera, there's no image stabilization... Not even for non moving subjects... I have te same issue...I'm very disappointed with this camera and the money I spent on it.

The round "rocker switch" on the rear gives options for disabling features. Press the edge (left or right) and you'll see various icons onscreen with the option to disable (...best I recall, pressing left side disables & right side resets?). Play around with that control a bit & you'll see what I mean. The system defaults when you turn the camera off, so you can't screw anything up by "experimenting";-). Hope that helps!

no image stabilisation at all . Not necessary , because this is a super-wide-angle lens .

It is the image stabilizer. It was very irritating to me as well in the beginning. But when I use the camera outside under normal conditions I don't realize it anymore at all.
