Ok, so in coming from the Z1 camera to the Z5 I have noticed that the steadyshot is useless on my Z5.

Zoom in about 80% and see all the shake?

Anyone else have this issue?

Already sent it in to Sony and go it back after a month and its the same. Turning the steadyshot on or off odes NOTHING that I can see. Already messed with the soft, hard, normal, and wide settings.

Please help!!!!

fortunately i'm not seeing the problem you're describing. sorry

So you can zoom in 80% and keep a steady shot?

Thats how it should work....guess I get to send this back to Sony for another month.....uggg

pretty much so. even at full zoom there's a difference between steady on and off....

What do you shoot Silas? Weddings? Corporate? Docs? what is your subject matter?
