SteadyShot

SteadyShot is the trademarked name of the integrated image stabilisation technologies used in Sony video camcorders, DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras and on Sony Xperia smartphones and tablets.

SteadyShot then compensates for some of these movements, in some versions by moving the optics (OSS[2]) and in some versions by moving the image sensor (also called IBIS: In Body Image Stabilisation) in an opposite direction to the movement.

The digital technique requires the pixel count to be increased to allow the image to move on the sensor while keeping reference points within the boundaries of the capture chip.

Sony claims this is 13 times more effective than previous versions of SteadyShot.

SteadyShot is entirely internal to the camcorder unlike external stabilisation systems such as the Steadicam.
