What does SLR video anti-shake mean?

SLR video anti-shake is to suppress the vibration of the camera lens through certain technical means, so as to ensure that the captured video will not appear obvious jitter. Because SLR cameras are bulky and easy to shake when used, video anti-shake has become the focus of many photographers. SLR video anti-shake is mainly divided into two types, one is hardware anti-shake and the other is software anti-shake. Hardware anti-shake suppresses the camera lens through several mechanical devices; Software anti-shake is to process the video through the later software to remove the jitter.

SLR video anti-shake is mainly used to shoot high-quality videos, such as movies and documentaries. Because these videos need high quality and fluency, jitter is absolutely intolerable. At the same time, SLR video anti-shake can also be used to shoot personal videos, such as Vlog and speeches. These videos are taken directly by individuals, and jitter is inevitable. But the video stabilization of SLR cameras can solve this problem well and make these videos smoother.

Although SLR video anti-shake can help us shoot more stable video, there are also some things to pay attention to when using it. First of all, hardware anti-shake will affect the weight and volume of the camera to a certain extent, so pay attention to the weight and seismic performance of the camera when purchasing a specific SLR camera. Secondly, the processing speed of software anti-shake is related to the performance of the camera, so it is necessary to pay attention to whether the processing speed of the camera is fast enough when using it. Finally, the video anti-shake of SLR cameras also needs some skills, and it is necessary to avoid actions such as turning the camera greatly or shaking excessively as much as possible to ensure the best video effect.
