[12] Stabilizer
(Only VCC-MD700/800 series)
When this function is set to ON, the digital zoom
magnifies the screen. When vibrations are detected,
the vibrations are stabilized by changing the position
of the screen captured by the zoom.
Stabilizer level and digital zoom magnification
When changing the stabilizer level, the magnification
of the applied digital zoom is changed. Therefore,
increasing the stabilizer level allows the camera to
adjust to stronger vibrations. However, the screen
resolution decreases.
The relation between the level of stabilization and the
digital zoom magnification is as follows.
Stabilizer level Applicable digital zoom magnification
Low Approximately x1.05
Middle Approximately x1.1
High Approximately x1.2
Frequency that can be stabilized
This function corrects vibrations between 5Hz – 15Hz.
However, depending on the strength of the vibration
or the stabilizer level, some vibrations within this
frequency range may not be stabilized.
To clarify the image when using the stabilizer
To clarify the image when using the stabilizer, set the
shutter speed to approximately 1/250.
If the shutter speed is slow, the images captured
before the digital zoom is applied will be blurred and
the effect of the stabilizer decreased.
