is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera
movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake,
which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When
tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because
it is not needed. Video Dynamic Effective for video
shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted
shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered Compensates
for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the
zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS
Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting
video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera
shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting
video while using a tripod, the image stabilization is active to
compensate for slight camera shake.
