Also known as vibration reduction, image
stabilization was originally developed for video cameras. Its main
purpose is to prevent pictures from getting blurred because of
camera shake or slow shutter speed. This technology is extremely
useful when using long telephoto optical lenses (ten times or more)
or shooting subjects in low light situations. If you plan on getting
a camera with a big optical zoom or thinking of adding on telephoto
lenses, it is advisable to make sure it has this quality. |
