Digital Image Stabilization Mode

Using high-sensitivity settings up to ISO 800, the Digital Image Stabilization mode prevents the image blur caused by camera shake when taking pictures in low-light conditions and the subject blur produced when shooting moving subjects. With manual setting, you can shoot at up to ISO 6400*.
