Digital Cameras and Image Stabilization: What You Need to Know
It wasn't long ago that image stabilization was reserved for high priced digital SLR cameras and their fancy lenses. While these lenses were expensive and reserved primarily for the budding professional, the concept of image stabilization (IS) intrigued the masses. After all, what could be more helpful than a built in vibration reduction system that would all but guarantee a perfectly focused and crisp image. Fortunately, this is no longer just a wish for the point and shoot camera crowd, as many of the top camera manufacturers have released their affordable line of pink digital cameras with an IS option. The true benefit of an integrated IS system is that it allows the user to take perfectly focused shots in situations where a slow shutter speed might otherwise not. It's important to understand that IS will not prevent a fast moving subject from becoming blurred, and IS should be turned off when a camera is mounted on a tripod or when light conditions allow for a normal shutter speed.
