Is there a setting that turns the "optical image stabilization" on? I can't keep the camera from moving when using the telephoto

Once you get above about 30x with the telephoto, you can not keep your hands steady enough you must use a tripod/monopod or at least have camera sitting on a solid surface(i.e. tabletop)

In the Settings Menu (the one with the wrend picture on the left tab) look for IS MODE. Turn it on and zoom all the way in. Then turn it off and you can tell the difference.

I use bulb setting as well. This feature works best when you have a remote that is capable of being locked so you don't have to personally hold open the shutter for the duration of the shot.

There's a menu when you ping the camera 192.168.0.178 I think it's under advanced settings you can set the LED to off so it doesn't blink...

Maybe limit the area that motion is detected? This can be done in advanced settings. Best solution is recording to larger server that can handle more storage than SD card. Requires some IT knowledge but expands the record time. I wouldn't decrease the motion sensitivity as this will delay recording. You are able to designate different areas in the camera view to different sensitivity levels also. For this level of camera it is somewhat limited. Let me know if this helps. I've had mine for 2 years. It takes a bit of adjustment

Hello,Maybe try turning flash off, if you haven't already. There is also a macro mode built in this camera to account for close up shots. Hope this helps. :)

This is most likely down to the software, but in the camera's menu, under the playback options, should be an option for auto-rotate. Try turning that off and see what it does.

Yes, you can turn off the IS. The new version II super telephoto models (such as this one) have a new additional IS mode that will only activate as you trigger the shutter - the image in the viewfinder will not be shaking about while you're sighting things up prior to taking the shot as was the case in older models or other IS modes. Hope that helps. Mark

I would go with the other comment by EDay. I usually have found if my camera is not performing a certain function it is probably a setting has accidently been changed. Sometimes an employee at a local camera shop can help you out-they like to show al they know. Good Luck!

Have you tried using the AF/AE lock button located on top of the camera just behind the shutter release? I just got this camera myself so haven't explored all the features but that button is supposed to help you track moderately fast moving subjects.

NO - you can turn the vibration all the way OFF by turning the dial all the way down. The dial is on the side of the actual camera.

What else did you try that helped? When I use any amount of telephoto indoors the result is blurry unless I use a flash.

If you are using the telephoto lens, you have to hold the camera very still or the images will be blurry. I use the tripod or rest my elbows on something to hold the camera still.

No you have to turn it off in the menu. I have read that the lens stabilization is better.

Adjust the number of shutter actautions set to "--". That will allow you to keep taking frames until you stop the timer, or your memory card fills up.

The Auto mode attempts to do this automatically (see manual page 44) but you can also control it directly by using Shutter Priority mode with a speed above 1/250. See manual page 49.

Yes. The default setting is to have stabilization on. You can turn it off in the menu.
