IS (Image Stabilization)

Image Stabilization (IS) is a technology in cameras and lenses that reduces blurriness caused by hand movements or shaky hands during photography. It works by detecting small, unintended movements and compensating for them, either through moving lens elements or sensor shifts, ensuring the image stays steady. This allows for clearer, sharper photos in low light or when using zoom, without needing a tripod. IS helps capture professional-quality images more easily by minimizing motion blur, resulting in crisp pictures even in challenging conditions.
