Fujinon Optical Image Stabilisation provides instant results without losing any frames

Even small vibrations of the mounting point of zoom lenses can lead to very shaky and often unusable video capture. To be on the save side, high-performance image stabilisation is key to compensate for such vibrations.

Camera vibrations

Vibrations influencing a camera and zoom-lens installation may derive from heavy engines in a building, ship or other vehicles. They can also be induced by bypassing railway trains or strong, low-frequency sound sources in factory environments or even just strong winds.

Software based stabilisation might sound like a good hands-on solution. However, Optical Image Stabilization from FUJINON has multiple advantages over electronic/software based approaches:

Higher picture quality without frame loss

This is especially true with regards to the observation of moving objects. While software based stabilisation requires several frames to calculate a stabilised image, optical stabilisation provides instant results without losing any frames.

Maximum field of view and constant image section

Electronic stabilisers require cropping numerous pixels at the edges of the video image while optical stabilisation continuously shows the full frame without losing image sensor resolution or field of view.

Compensation of up to 4x stronger vibration

The Optical Image Stabilization in FUJINON's zoom devices is capable to deliver steady video captures even at vibrations which are up to four times stronger than software-based stabilisers can compensate for, depending on frequency and amplitude of the vibration.

This video demonstrates the significant value-add of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) in the FUJINON D60x16.7 zoom lens.

Designers of demanding surveillance systems, where cameras and lenses might possibly be exposed to vibrations, should get it right from the beginning and compare the capabilities of optical vs. electronic image stabilisation by evaluating Fujinon's D60x16.7 zoom lens with 60x zoom, 2 megapixel resolution for up to 1/1.8” image sensors and C-mount.
