Image Stabilization
You can use the image stabilizer to compensate for camera shake and achieve steadier shots. The image
stabilizer is more effective at wider angles and the effect is reduced the more you approach the telephoto end.
1 Select > [
v
Camera Setup] > [Digital IS] > [On].
• When using lenses not compatible with camera-lens communication, perform step 4 to enter the lens’s focal
length manually.
• Image stabilization is activated and appears on the left of the screen.
• You can also turn image stabilization on/off using an assignable button set to [Digital IS].
2 Select > [
v
Camera Setup] > [Digital IS Mode] > Desired option.
• (standard) or (high) will appear on the screen.
3 Select > [
v
Camera Setup] > [Motion Vector For Digital IS] > Desired option.
4For lenses for which the focal length cannot be obtained, select > [
v
Camera Setup] >
[Lens Focal Length] and enter the lens’s focal length using the data entry screen (A 27).
• The image stabilization is adjusted according to the focal length entered.
5 When using an anamorphic lens, select > [v Camera Setup] > [Anamorphic Corr.] >
Squeeze factor to use to correct the image stabilization.
• If you selected [Lens Squeeze Factor], the anamorphic correction will be applied according to the squeeze
factor specified with the > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Metadata] > [Lens Squeeze] setting.
Options for [Digital IS Mode]
[Standard]: Compensates for camera shake. The viewing angle is slightly reduced.
[High]: Achieves stronger compensation for camera shake. The viewing angle is further reduced.
Options for [Motion Vector For Digital IS]
[Enable]: Image stabilization using camera shake information and motion vectors. This setting allows for
very effective image stabilization.
[Disable]: Image stabilization using only camera shake information.
• When recording a subject (such as a person or an animal) with a large amount movement, enabling this setting
may cause the image to shake along with the subject.
• [Digital IS Mode] will be [Standard] when all of the following conditions are met:
- [Sensor Mode] is set to [Full Frame] and [Main Resolution] is set to [4096x2160] or [3840x2160].
- [Recording Mode] is set to [Slow & Fast Motion] and the recording frame rate is 60P or higher, [Recording
Mode] is set to [S&F Clip / Audio (WAV)] and the recording frame rate is 60P, or [Recording Mode] is set to
another option and the recording frame rate is 59.94P.
- [SDI Output Signal] is set to [4096x2160P/3840x2160P].
• If the IS function is turned off on a lens, the camera’s image stabilization function is deactivated too and the
icon will flash on the left of the screen. When an RF-S lens is attached, select > [v Camera
Setup] > [Lens Optical IS] > [On] to turn on the image stabilization function of the lens.
• The camera’s image stabilization is not performed as long as an assignable button set to [Pause Digital IS] is
held pressed down ( or are displayed in gray). Lens image stabilization is not affected.
• Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, subject blur may be more prominent (the subject may be
momentarily blurred) due to the use of image stabilization.
• Turning off the camera’s image stabilization is recommended in the following cases:
- When using TS-E lenses and fisheye lenses
- When the camera is expected to be stable, for example when it is mounted on a tripod
• If the degree of camera shake is too high, the image stabilizer may not be able to compensate fully.
