With CCD-shift stabilization, instead of moving lens elements, the
system shifts the image sensor itself to counteract camera shake and
keep the image steady. Konica Minolta’s Anti-Shake cameras and Pentax’s
Shake-Reduction cameras use this system.
Normally, image-stabilization systems counteract both vertical and
horizontal camera movement. Some SLR gear provides an “action” mode,
which allows you to pan the camera horizontally or vertically while the
system counters only motion along the other axis. Read the instruction
manual for your gear. With some systems, you should switch the
stabilization off when using the camera on a tripod.
