Operating modes:
[Powered] Q: Powered IS is most effective when you are stationary and
zooming in on far subjects using high zoom ratios (the
more you approach the telephoto end). This mode is not
suitable for tilting and panning shots.
[Dynamic] P: Dynamic IS compensates for a higher degree of
camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walking,
and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide
angle.
[Standard] O: Standard IS compensates for a lower degree of
camcorder shake, such as when shooting while remaining
stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking
scenes.
[Off]: Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a
tripod.
