I want to know about OIS
Is it better to use automatic with OIS on or off when I hold my camcorder to film in church? I will be sitting on a stool to the side so I do not get tired. I hope to use a good not automatic setting if that is okay?

The great thing about optical image stabilization is that there is no picture degradation compared to DIS and EIS. The only time I disengage OIS is when I'm on a tripod with noticeable panning.

I agree with Tommy about leaving it on while shooting "hand-held."
I still don't know what the difference is between DIS and EIS. Tommy? Fred, if you want to be a professional, consider buying a good video tripod and head. Watching "hand-held" footage is usually unwatchable because of all the shaking. |
IMO DIS and EIS are the same. DIS should stand for Digital Image Stabilisation and EIS is for Electronic Image Stabilisation.

I classify DIS and EIS together but there are differences between each and even more differences between manufacturers.
DIS - samples the entire CCD and then removes a stable picture. Works well on the pixel heavy cams although it may be disabled in 16:9 and/or still mode. EIS - employs sensors to detect movement and then compensates. Sony uses this in their Super Steady Shot. OIS - a prism that moves opposite of cam shaking The TRV950 uses both EIS and OIS while the GS70 combines DIS and EIS (referred to at D.E.I.S). How utterly confusing! |
Thanks, Tommy.

Tommy Haupfear thank you for the answer. I will be using OIS and not in automatic mode.
