Image stabilization in photography

How important is image stabilization in digital photography?

Image stabilization in photography


Image stabilization is a common term for modern cameras. This arrangement gives the opportunity to take good, clear pictures. Learn the details of image stabilization.

When you take a picture, the sensor lights up as long as the lens cover is open. At this point, if your hand is cupped then the front view spreads a bit instead of staying in the same place. The picture is blurred as a result. 

The lower the shutter speed, the more likely it is to blur. Again, when a distant image is taken, even the slightest movement covers a large distance, where the image is more likely to be blurred. The solution to this problem is image stabilization.

Basically, the work that is done, this technology of the camera calculates the movement of the camera. The camera stops receiving light from outside as it moves. As a result, the scene of the changed place is not captured, and a clear picture is available.

How the camera does this is a technical matter. Maybe even if you don't know the details.

Image stabilization can be of different types. Which camera adds this technology to the lens, which camera's processor does this, and which camera has two types of systems? The main two parts are optical image stabilization and digital image stabilization. Image quality is good in the optical method.

The stabilized lens has a switch to turn this system on and off. Very easy to use. Turn the switch on to use stabilization, turn it off if not in use.

It may seem that the issue of off is coming, why? Where is the problem if you always keep it on?

If the stabilization is on when you use the tripod, the camera assumes you need to use stabilization. As a result, it tries to stabilize the still image. It produces bad fruit instead of good.

In the case of compact cameras, the on-off stabilization is done from the menu.

So far the word stabilization has been used, but the camera maker uses a different name for it. Nikon is called Vibration Reduction (VR), Canon is called Image Stabilization (IS), Tamron is called Vibration Control (VC), and so on.

In general, the general rules for the use of stabilization

- Do not use stabilization when using a tripod. Always use the other.

-In the case of an SLR camera, switch off the stabilization before turning off the camera.

-When buying a camera or lens, see if there is stabilization (of course, the price of the lens with stabilization is higher).

-Use a tripod if there is no stabilization system or try to keep the hand as still as possible.

-Stabilization can be used to double the normal shutter speed. Use it when taking pictures in low light.

  1. Image Stabilization (or IS) is a method to reduce the likelihood of taking blurry photos by moving the camera lens automatically to compensate for camera movement which can be induced by the user hand-holding the camera, or because the camera is fixed on a platform prone to vibration or movements, like vehicles
