Turning Off The Image Stabilizer - Canon Optura Xi Instruction Manual

Turning Off the Image Stabilizer []
Canon's optical image stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even at
telephoto. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss in picture quality. There
is no need to turn off the image stabilizer during normal recording. However, the
camcorder tries to compensate for horizontal movements and you may therefore
decide to turn it off during panning. The image stabilizer cannot be turned off in the
Easy Recording mode.
