Checking the image stabilizer effect with live view

You can hold down the o button during live view to see
the effect of the image stabilizer on the monitor. While in
that position, you can press the shutter button fully to take
a picture.

• When [IMAGE STABILIZER] is set to [OFF], pressing and

holding the o button activates the image stabilizer ([I.S. 1]).

• Either releasing the o button or holding down the o button

for several seconds turns off the image stabilizer.

Notes

• The image stabilizer cannot correct excessive camera

shake or camera shake that occurs when the shutter
speed is set to the slowest speed. In these cases, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.

• When using a tripod, set [IMAGE STABILIZER] to [OFF].
• When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilization function

of either the lens or the camera.

• Turning off the camera initializes the image stabilizer function. The camera will vibrate for this

operation, but this is not a malfunction.

• A red H displayed on the monitor indicates the failure of the image stabilizer function. If you

take a picture as is, the composition may be off. Consult your Olympus Authorized Service
Center.
