Using the Anti-Shake Feature for Steady Shots on your Camcorder

Hello! I’m Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. Let’s talk about consumer camcorders. What is anti-shake or in this case on this camera steady shot? I’m holding this camera in my hand here so I’m not on a tripod. Tripod gives great stability or monopod but in this case I’m holding in my hand and might be waking around or just trying to pan my shot life like this by holding it by hand and I’m going to go into the menu here. And there’s this mode called steady shot and it’s on, if I click on, I can go turn it off or I can have it on. The idea of the steady shot is, if I have a quick little jolt to my hands the picture will not show that jolt. Now I already suggested if you are on a tripod then you turn it off, because you don’t want it to try to correct because it might be looking at the view, the image that has come in and say “oh! You know what, something just moved fast” we better correct for it so you get a jump, read your manuals see what they suggest.
