After developing a camera chip dedicated entirely to AI processing, Sony wants to give the same treatment to electronic stabilization. The camera maker and sensor manufacturing giant is showing off a new chip that processes electronic image stabilization as the data hits the sensor, negating some of the biggest limitations to using electronic stabilization.
Sensor shift and optical stabilization are typically the preferred types of stabilization due to electronic stabilization’s cropping, limited use on RAW footage, and jello effect. Sony’s new approach to electronic stabilization still crops the footage – but it works to fight the jello effect and can be applied to RAW footage.
