Optical Image Stabilization
We all know how hard it is to capture the perfect shot while in motion. Like for example when you are in a bus and you struggle to capture a decent image and all you get is a blurry mess?
Optical Image stabilization is a fix to this. The camera is able to compensate for the motion and all you have to do is point and shoot.
Laser Eye Focus
For the camera to focus on a subject, it’s helpful for it to be able to estimate the distance between it and the object. This is where Laser Eye Focus comes in. Through it, a camera uses a beam to estimate the distance and hence put the image into focus.
