Advanced Image Stabilization 'Dual I.S.2'
Featuring the new image stabilization system 'Dual I.S.2', it synchronizes in real-time with both in-body stabilization (B.I.S.) and lens stabilization (O.I.S.). This enables 5-axis stabilization, correcting for pitch/yaw, roll, and translational shake (X/Y). Combined with 2-axis lens stabilization, it can correct and eliminate shake in any shooting scene. This advanced stabilization technology allows users to enjoy more stable image quality in photography.
