Image Stabilizer (G15Hi/G20Hi)

With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable
during telephoto recording. However, the image stabilizer allows you to obtain
steady recordings even at high magnification. Before you start recording, turn the
image stabilizer on or off from the IMAGE STABIL option at the camera menu.
• In addition, you can assign CUSTOM KEY 2 to turn the image stabilizer on/off
(see p. 25).

Notes:
• The i mark appears in the viewfinder when the image stabilizer is turned on.
• Due to the nature of the image stabilizer, the image quality will be lower when the
image stabilizer is switched on, and the image will appear slightly enlarged in the
viewfinder.
• The image stabilizer is designed to deal with a normal degree of camera shake — it
cannot compensate for large movements of the camera.
• Keep the image stabilizer turned off when the camera is mounted on a tripod.
• The image stabilizer is not as effective as usual when the optional wide-converter or
tele-converter is attached.
• You cannot use the image stabilizer simultaneously with the 16:9 format, mirror,
strobe, or ghost digital effects.
• When you activate one of these digital effects, the image stabilizer turns off
automatically and the i mark blinks for 4 seconds in the viewfinder then
disappears.
• If a digital effect is turned on first, the image stabilizer becomes inoperable:
• When you open the menu, IMAGE STABIL shows "- - -".
• When Custom Key 2 is set to the image stabilizer and you press it, the i mark
blinks for 4 seconds in the viewfinder then disappears.
