Overview
Image stabilization compensates for small hand movements that can blur photos, especially at slower shutter speeds. It can be built into lenses, camera bodies, or both.
Types
Optical stabilization shifts lens elements, while sensor stabilization moves the camera sensor. Some systems combine both for greater effectiveness.
Benefits
Stabilization allows photographers to shoot handheld in lower light and with longer focal lengths while maintaining sharpness.
Creative Impact
It expands shooting flexibility by reducing reliance on tripods or high ISO settings.
