Today's Olympus post is a reminder about how good the OM System is at managing shake with the onboard image stabilization (I.S.)...
Check out the following Menu Items for my I.S. Settings on the OM-1;
Menu - Enter Camera (1)
- (Camera) Image Stabilizer: S-IS AUTO - Let the camera figure it out
- (Frame Rate) Image Stabilizer: IS Priority - better to get a few photos and have them sharp than many photos that are blurry
- (Shutter Depression): On - see the stabilization kick in live
- (Handheld Assist): Off - Not needed for Bird Photography
- (Lens I.S. Priority): DEPENDS ON YOUR LENS - Do research on your lens. If it has MORE stabilization than the body select "ON". If it has less stabilization than the body, select "OFF"
Cheers!
