What is Image Stabilization?
Image stabilization is a form of technology used to stabilize an image for a much clearer picture. Used in both still and video cameras, image stabilization is one of the most popular features to include in a camera. In the past, the technology used to be reserved only for the higher end of camera models, but it has since been expanded as a feature in most cameras sold, due to price reductions in the technology. As the telephoto features of a camera are used, image stabilization becomes more important for producing the sharpest photos. The farther the distance of the subject from the camera, the more distorted the image can become due to even the slightest fluctuation in motion. In still photos, this will cause the main subjects to become out of focus. For video cameras, it will cause jitters in the footage. There are a couple of techniques that are often employed in image stabilization. One is optical stabilization and can be used in digital or still cameras. Digital image stabilizati
Image stabilizers work to give you sharper pictures by counteracting camera shake. Image stabilized lenses and cameras use two tiny gyros that precess with camera movement and send a signal via a servomotor to move lens elements, a prism, or the sensor plane in the opposite direction of your camera’s movement. You shake one way, it shakes the other way. Larger gyroscopic stabilizers can steady your entire camera, whether it is optically stabilized or not. For handheld shots with slower shutter speeds or aerial photography, image stabilization is an invaluable tool for damping vibration to minimize motion blur.
