#electronic image stabilization

All of them are camera technologies that are different from each other but serves a common purpose - image stabilization. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) With OIS or Optical Image Stabilization, it's a mechanical-based solution that uses the phone's gyroscope and tiny motors to shift the camera's lens or sensor. The stabilization occurs before the image hits the sensor, so there's no degradation in quality. Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) While OIS uses special hardware, EIS or Electronic Image Stabilization uses software and the chipset's computing power to produce steady shots. Unlike OIS, the stabilization in EIS happens when the image hits the sensor. Brands like Huawei even came up with the term Artificial Image Stabilization or AIS, which is another form of EIS that uses AI to process the image or video.
