Abbreviated as EIS, electronic image stabilization
uses electronic processing to control image stability. If the
device sensors detect camera shake, EIS responds by
slightly moving the image so that it remains in the same place on the
CCD. Electronic image stabilization may result in a
decrease in picture resolution.

Videomaker: The End of a Shaky Camera Image stabilizing systems can greatly reduce or virtually eliminate camera shake. If you often find yourself shooting in situations where you can't use a tripod, or you have to use your lens zoomed in all the way, you might want to consider buying a camera with a built-in image stabilizer, or getting an external mechanical stabilizer.
