* Increased stability: The sensor is stabilized on five axes, resulting in up to 5 stops of effective image stabilization. This means that you can handhold shots at significantly slower shutter speeds than would otherwise be possible, making it easier to capture sharp images in low-light conditions.
* Reduced artifacts: Sensor-shift stabilization systems do not suffer from the same types of artifacts as body-based stabilization systems, such as rolling shutter and jello effects. This means that you can shoot video without having to worry about these distracting and unwanted effects.
* Improved stills: In addition to improving video quality, sensor-shift image stabilization can also lead to improved still image quality. This is because the stabilization system can compensate for camera shake even when the shutter is pressed, reducing the risk of blurred images.
The Olympus E-M5 Mark II is the first mirrorless camera to offer sensor-shift image stabilization, and it represents a significant step forward in the evolution of compact mirrorless camera technology. This feature is sure to appeal to photographers and videographers who want the best possible image quality and stability from their cameras.
