When do you choose a camera with image stabilization?
Aren't you sure whether you should purchase a camera with image stabilization? A good image stabilization is very important for sharp photos and videos. In this article, I'll explain what image stabilization is and what the advantages are. That way, you'll know why to choose a camera with image stabilization by the end of the article.
What's image stabilization?
A photo camera with image stabilization ensures that motion blur is compensated for in photos and videos. This allows you to prevent shaky and blurry images. This advanced technique in the camera makes counter movements and stabilizes your camera images. Your footage will look sharp and stable, even when you take them out of your hand. This is especially useful with long shutter speeds. Some cameras have built-in image stabilization, but this technique can also be built into the lens.
Pros and cons image stabilization
An advantage of image stabilization in the camera is that the technology works with any lens. But, image stabilization in the lens is much more precise than image stabilization in the body, and it results in sharper images. Image stabilization uses energy, so your battery will drain faster. It's wise to turn on image stabilization only when you need it. Turn it off when you use a tripod too, because it may cause unwanted vibrations.
