22 23 Using the Stabilizer Feature The Stabilizer feature is for Photo taking only . This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos caused by slight camera mov ement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camer a’s ability to auto f ocus. How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the use of faster shutter speeds compared to the def ault mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement. To activate Stabilizer Press the • Stabilizer button located on the top of the camera to enable/disable stabilizer .
