Both Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) are sensor-powered methods to compensate for movement and jitter that degrade the quality of photographs and videos. The latest smartphones, cameras, and drones use OIS and/or EIS to deliver sharp images and smooth high-resolution videos.

Reduce blurring from shaking of the image sensor in a user’s hand
Integrating gyroscope powered OIS into camera modules has proven to be a highly effective solution to improve image quality in smartphones, digital cameras, drones and other products with high resolution image sensors. This can enable a smartphone to take professional level pictures that until recently were only possible to expensive DSLR mounted in gimbals.
Ensure smooth playback by removing the video shake resulting from hand jitter
EIS compensates for any movement caused by hand jitter, turbulence, or bumps that would cause a shaking effect. EIS intelligently crops each individual image based on motion sensor data to reduce video blur. The result is dramatically smoother video capture from devices, such as smartphones, without requiring additional gimbals to provide physical stabilization.
Optical image stabilization (OIS) has become one of the most high-valued features in the smartphone business. Over the past decade, the content we consume shifted from primarily text-based to image-driven before video content—long and short, horizontal then vertical—began to dominate what average joes, influencers, and businesses alike are creating.
