Most makers have developed their own proprietary anti-shake system, and Nikon’s is called VR, or Vibration Reduction. Any camera movement during the exposure is detected by the mechanism and cancelled out with small, rapid movements of optical elements within the lens. [...]
Many digital camera makers have developed their own proprietary anti-shake systems, and although they all work on broadly the same principles, they like to give them their own names. Sony’s is ‘SteadyShot’ or, more recently, ‘Super Steadyshot’, though with its [...]
An image stabilisation system which moves the sensor during the exposure to reduce or prevent blur due to camera movement. It’s used in Pentax digital SLRs (shown below) and others. This is in contrast to other stabilisation systems which move [...]
This stands for ‘Mega Optical Image Stabilizer’. It’s Panasonic’s brand name for the image stabilisation system used in its cameras, and in principle it’s much the same as any other maker’s system, detecting camera movement during the exposure and instantly [...]
An image stabiliser is a hardware device which counters the effects of camera shake at slow shutter speeds. It may be built into lenses or camera bodies and it consists of tiny gyroscopic motion detectors which instantly adjust either an [...]
Mechanism for reducing camera shake. A system pioneered by Konica Minolta but now used by a number of digital camera makers. It detects any camera movement during the exposure and instantly shifts the CCD by minute amounts in the opposite [...]
