K 2-11 Image Stabilization

Image Stabilization
Image stabilization reduces blur caused by the camera moving while the shutter is
open.
The camera is equipped with 5-axis image stabilization that in addition to reducing
blur caused by motion on the pitch and yaw axes, can be used with all lenses to
reduce blur caused by motion on the horizontal, vertical, and roll axes. Not only
can it be used at night, in darkened interiors, with telephoto lenses, and in other
situations in which blur due to camera motion is likely to occur, it can also be used
to reduce blur during macro photography. You will need to provide the lens focal
length when using image stabilization with lenses that are not part of the Four
Thirds or Micro Four Thirds family.
Reducing Camera Blur (K Image Stabilizer)
Reduce blur caused by the camera shake that commonly occurs, for example, when
the subject is poorly lit or in photos taken at high zoom ratios.
• This setting can be accessed via:
- The LV super control panel (P. 177)
- The menus (P. 177)
- Live controls (P. 177)
S-IS Off Image stabilization disabled. Select this option when using a tripod.
S-IS AUTO (auto)
Image stabilization applies to motion on all axes. If panning
motion is detected, the camera will automatically suspend image
stabilization on that axis.
S-IS1 (multi-directional)
Image stabilization applies to motion on all axes.
S-IS2 (vertical)
Image stabilization applies to vertical motion. Use when panning
the camera horizontally.
S-IS3 (horizontal)
Image stabilization applies to horizontal motion. Use when panning
the camera vertically.
• Image stabilization may be unable to compensate for excessive camera motion or very slow
shutter speeds. Use a tripod in these cases.
• You may notice noise or vibration while image stabilization is in effect.
• The setting selected with the lens image stabilization switch, if any, takes priority over that
selected with the camera.
• [S-IS AUTO] functions as [S-IS1] when [On] is selected for [Lens I.S. Priority].
