How it works

Optical SteadyShot helps you get sharper images by reducing the effects of camera shake. A clever mechanism in your Cyber-shot detects even the smallest movements and shifts elements in the lens to compensate. Optical SteadyShot is far more effective than the digital methods used by other cameras.

Optical SteadyShot gives you great pictures in low light conditions or when you zoom in close. Read on to learn more about how it works and for some great tips on keeping your camera steady while shooting.
