IBIS (In-Body Stabilization)equipment
Sensor-shift stabilization that steadies any lens you attach, letting you shoot sharp at slower shutter speeds.
In-body image stabilization moves the sensor itself to counteract camera shake, so it works with every lens — even old manual ones. It buys several stops of slower shutter speed for handheld static subjects (it can't freeze a moving subject). Many mirrorless bodies combine IBIS with a lens's own stabilization for even more.
Use this when
- Handheld low light (static): IBIS helps a lot
- Freezing motion: Won't help — use a fast shutter
Common mistake: Expecting IBIS to sharpen a moving subject — it only counters camera shake.
