How can I disable the image stabilization? I've gone through every single menu item in the camera and cannot find it!

On gx 7 go to top menu Rec, right click scroll thru menu til you come to Stabilizer hit set button , Operation Mode comes up hit set button and three options come up , last being OFF , hit set button

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.

Ahhh...that makes it clearer. I also have the GH4 and find it to be almost second nature for 'most' adjustments. I wish you well with your photo endeavors!

No it doesn't, there is no image stabilization on this camera. I wish it did.

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

Thank you. This is very helpful and definitely makes the camera pretty full-featured for the price considering image stabilization is included.

Hi there Angela I recently bought this camera after doing a lot of research. One of the only things that people would sometimes say was bad about the camera was that under certain conditions, the pictures came out in a condition like the one you described. There are a few things that you can do to help get rid of this "noise": 1. Choose a lower ISO setting. This setting changes the sensitivity to the light. You cannot change this value in the "Simple" mode, but in PASM and scene you can. The lower the ISO level, the more likely you might need to use flash, so open the flash and turn it to Auto (the default setting) when you use a lower ISO in poor to moderate lighting. 2. Change the internal Noise Reduction to High. You can access this setting in the PASM or Scene modes only as well. Changing this may make the picture a little less detailed, but probably only noticeable in something bigger than a 4 x 6. Access this setting by hitting the "Set" button, and then go down the menu to the third page, to a setting called Pict. Adj. and hit the right arrow. Noise reduction is the last choice. 3. If at all possible, take photos in good lighting. This will limit the use for internal brightening and adjusting, which will keep the natural colors and less noise in the picture. Hope this helps!

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.

supposedly. it does not have anything in the menus so i don't think you can turn it off but p.148 in the manual says it has "lens-shift type optical stabilization"

When in video mode switch to 2 and you can start video.. switch back to 1 and you can take stills while in video mode. That's how it works on my 70D

I could not find all these settings? De-Juddr and De-Blur must be some "expert setting?" My menu didn't offer them? Do you know why? Thanks.

I wish I had the answer to this question. I had the EXACT same problem last Friday at the zoo. I also couldn't figure out how to get the camera to focus on the animal and not the bars of the cage it was in. I wish I understood the manual settings a little better. I'm kind of a novice. Any advice?

Hi John, Yes, you may turn off Optical Steady Shot/ Image Stabilization on your camcorder. Vincent

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

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

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

I have to use the stabilization on my Mac program for that because there are no controls on the camera itself. In addition, I purchased two camera and found that one had a faulty battery that will not charge. The seller wasnt helpful and since the camera company went out of business, I can not get the camera fixed. There is no way to open these cameras and replace the batteries other than by the factory and that option is no longer in existence. I recommend trying the gopro camera. It's got high resolution and full support from the manufacturer.

Go to the DRO settings (Dynamic Range Optimizer) and turn it off completely. Make sure it's not in "Auto". The DRO is very useful in extreme lighting situations and to lift exposure in the dark areas of a photo. It's almost like the HDR mode but only with one shot.
