DSC-T20 Bye-bye, blur Handheld shots in low light have been the perfect recipe for blur. Sony uses three powerful technologies to kiss blur goodbye. Shooting in low light means long exposure times. And that means that even slight camera motion ends up destroying the shot with blur. You could set the camera up on a tripod, but only if you have one handy! You could turn on the camera's flash, but that would spoil the mood! Sony has a better way. Our Clear RAW™ noise reduction reduces the picture "noise" common to low-light exposures. High ISO Sensitivity enables you to shoot at faster shutter speeds. And Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization compensates for camera shake. Actual photo taken with a Sony® digital camera. Shutter 1/8 sec. Aperture f4.5. Flash Off. ISO 400. SUPER STEADYSHOT OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION The system uses separate vertical and horizontal sensors that detect camera shake. The camera sends an equal-butopposite correcting signal to a stabilization lens, which moves to compensate for shake. (Sample photos for illustration purposes.)
