There is no setting on your camera to shut off image stabilization. The camera does not have optical image stabilization, only Picture Stabilization, which is accessed through the Anti-Blur shooting mode. It forces a higher ISO and a faster shutter speed to reduce the effects of shake and blur.

I’m not sure what is at work stabilizing images when shooting video. Many digital cameras have some noise picked up from the camera when shooting video, heard primarily when there is no background noise in a scene. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about camera noise when shooting in a quiet environment.

If you bought your camera new, you should return or exchange it. From your description, the camera is particularly noisy when shooting video. Look for a camera with optical image stabilization, which on most cameras, can be turned on and off.

How do I turn OFF the image stabilization? I just got a fujifulm j10 digital camera and when I film videos there is a loud crackling noise coming from the inside of the camera, and I read on an advice forum someone had the same problem and a person told them to turn off the IS, then it worked. Someone had told me there should be a switch on the lens, but there is none. I can’t find an answer to this ANYWHERE and it’s really stressing me out How do I turn it off?!?!?!

[...] satisfactory. Fast lenses should be used in weddings where the lighting facility is not that good. Image stabilization is always an issue at such venues, something this lens handles well through its 24-105 L feature. [...]

Can you provide an example where this information is is found? I’ve never seen a number used in conjunction with Image Stabilization. The numbers may refer to the optical zoom lens magnification. For example, on my Canon s90 it says on the lens “Canon Zoom Lens 3.8X IS.” The 3.8X is the maximum optical zoom length. The IS stands for Image Stabilization.

ok, when shopping for cameras it has a section that says: stabalization-27 and another says stabalization-3.4

what is the difference, which one is better?

Unfortunately, your question is beyond the scope of what we offer here at Digicamhelp. Consider calling a camera manufacturer’s tech support for some insights.
