With the high-resolution images of High Definition, image stabilization is more important than ever. That's why the Canon exclusive SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is a feature of the HG10.


SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon's advanced and innovative SuperRange OIS utilizes a hybrid detection method combining gyro- and image-sensors to give image stabilization through a wider range of camera motions. Some image stabilization systems correct one type of camera motion or vibration better than another. But Canon's stabilization technology corrects for a wide range of camcorder motion: the fast vibration you'd experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; and the slower motion of body sway. SuperRange OIS is also particularly useful in maintaining steady images even at long focal lengths.

In addition, optical stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss in image quality, which is not possible with electronic image stabilization which can cause a noticeable degradation in image quality. Optical Image Stabilization also works when taking digital photographs with your HG10.
