Which technology is used to minimize the effects of vibration and shaking in camera footage?

Image stabilization is a technology specifically designed to minimize the effects of vibration and shaking in camera footage. It achieves this through various methods, which can include optical image stabilization (OIS) where physical adjustments are made to the camera's lens or sensor, and electronic image stabilization (EIS), which processes the video signal to reduce the impact of unintended movements.

In practical terms, when a camera experiences shake—whether from holding it by hand, environmental factors, or other disturbances—image stabilization helps to smooth out the footage, resulting in clearer and more professional-looking video. This is particularly important in scenarios where the camera cannot be mounted on a stable platform, such as in mobile surveillance or when capturing action shots.

In contrast, other technologies listed have different functions: digital noise reduction focuses on improving image quality by reducing graininess in low-light conditions; wide dynamic range enhances the ability to capture details in both very bright and very dark areas of an image; enhanced low-light capture improves the quality of images taken in poorly lit environments. While these technologies can contribute to overall image quality, they do not specifically address the issue of motion blur or vibrations experienced during recording.
