Image Stabilisation
The Panasonic Lumix FZ300/330 employs optical image
stabilisation (OIS) to help the user get images which are free
from handshake during exposure.
At low shutter speeds the movement of the camera would
produce images with blur.
The image stabilisation keeps the image in the same place
on the sensor even though the camera is moving slightly due
to our natural body motion.
This stabilisation can help to allow the user to get images
without blur at shutter speeds of 1/15 second.
Due to the way the camera is constructed the image
stabilisation has to be always active - even though there is
an OFF mode in the stabilisation menu options. Off just
means the camera will not compensate for camera
movement but the image stabilisation keeps the lens
centred.
The mode can be selected to provide both axis of movement
cancellation. If the camera is moved up or down or side to
side the OIS will make the lens follow the movement
keeping the image on the sensor in the same place.
If the vertical mode only is selected the camera will not try
to cancel any horizontal movement and allow things like
focus pans to take place without cancelling the movement.
During shooting from a tripod it is recommended to turn off
the OIS to prevent false movements by the camera.
