[QUOTE="okulo, post: 579424, member: 40687"] I have a P900 and have noticed the same effect. It is more noticeable on the P900 because of its phenomenal zoom but it is actually present when using all my video cameras. It's actually a product of image stabilisation. I think that it is important to remember that image stabilisation mechanisms have limits and when they reach those limits, they have to make a correction in order to keep the image framed and that is what is happening when the stabilised subject suddenly jolts across the screen. Obviously, the more you are zoomed in, the more difficult it is to keep the image framed. the harder the stabilisation needs to work and the more often camera shake will cause this kind of action. I noticed this is worse when using a tripod and trying to pan because the camera tries to keep the original framing but then reaches the point when it cannot any longer and gives up causing a jolt. Personally, I never use image stabilisation when shooting video or when I am shooting stills on a tripod. [/QUOTE]
