Note
When using an optional interchangeable lens with an O.I.S. switch, it is possible to set to
enable the Optical Image Stabilizer by switching the O.I.S. switch on the lens to [ON]. (At the
time of purchase, it is initially set to [ ].)
It is recommended to disable the Optical Image Stabilizer when using a tripod. [ ] is
displayed on the screen at that time.
