Canon Cameras

image stabilization help for canon sd??

I posted almost the same question yesterday , but it seems the people who answered misunderstood me, so that's why I'm posting this a second time but with more detail. I recently bought a canon sd1100( which i might note is still a good cam) and i read a lot of reviews that the image stabilization (IS) is great on this camera. But I can't seem to get that part to work because i still get blurry pictures .And anyone who originally read my first posting I don't mean getting photos without blurryness all the time, well the thing is i used to have a minolta digital camera and it didn't have the IS but it would get less blurry pics than the canon sd1100 . Well, I even check the option to see if the image stablization was on and it was on continuous. So for me I don't really notice the image stabilization most of the time, because it doesn't feel like it's working any differently or better than a non IS camera in getting focused .so if anyone knows please let me kno

1. It has got to be in your instruction manual and perhaps this link will help you. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd1100is/ Look on the second page and you will see that in the cameras menu, there is something called IS mode Just choose "continuous"
2. Is the blurriness from subject movement or camera movement? Since you state that your camera's IS is on "continuous" then subject movement is the problem. Check your ISO setting and your f-stop and shutter speed. A low ISO and an f-stop of f11 or f16 will result in a slow shutter speed so any subject movement will be a blur. Check that your AF is on and working properly. If all else fails, take some time to READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual for your camera.
