Thanks to @ moogoo and @ DACHA for clearing that up.

the white paper states "image stabilization" and the website states "SteadyShot". nes/xperia-z1/features/#camera
" target="_blank" rel="nofollow]http://www.sonymobile.com/glo[....]eria-z1/features/#camera


But they said that only regarding video, You can't have a OIS and enable it only for videos. So there is no OIS on Z1, it's a fact even I accepted because software video stabilisation is very good in Z1.

@admad - so your argument is Sony implemented hardware image stabilization (i.e., Sony SteadyShot) in the Z1 and made it only work for videos? They went through the trouble of engineering all those things into the Z1 but use it only for videos and for still images, they thought.. "hey, just to be an ass, let's use digital image stabilization instead!".. you gotta be kidding me.

so yes, you can't have OIS and enable it ONLY for videos.. if its there, clearly SteadyShot is a camera feature, it's enabled for BOTH.

I haven't really been paying much attention to the stabilization tech of the Z1. If it's really hardware, can anyone confirm if it's OIS or IBIS?

For those who don't know the difference,
OIS - Optical Image Stabilization; Usually means Lens stabilization
IBIS - In Body Image Stabilization; Stabilization happening at the sensor

sony actually has a few different types of steadyshot as can be seen here:
http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/[....]technology/theme/alpha_01.html

all of them use some type of hardware stabilization. i actually tweeted sony to ask if they even know. i'll update if and when they reply.

bottom line - whatever sony is using, it's making everyone else's implementation look like crap. so yah, if for some crazy reason it is software (digital) stabilization, everyone else's OIS implementation is pathetic.

From wiki:
"Different versions of these technologies are known as Super SteadyShot (SSS), SteadyShot INSIDE (SSI) and Optical SteadyShot (OSS)"

"SteadyShot technology works inside the body of the camera. It uses motion sensors to detect the user's movements. SteadyShot then compensates for some of these movements, in some versions by moving the optics and in some versions by moving the image sensor in an opposite direction to the movement."

So it depends on the version employed in Z1

yah exactly. it's still moving a piece of hardware (the lens or the sensor). contrast with digital stabilization, which uses higher pixel counts to move the _image_ while keeping reference points and using software to create a "stable" image.

Guys, stop this discussion about steadyshot.

The truth is that sony uses digital version of steadyshot in their video cameras and even in their flagship DSLT's (A77 and A99) all due to the fact that using sensor shift for tilting fullframe sensor would be too power consuming and would produce too much heat. Probably the same type of steady shot is used for video stabilisation on Z1 and that is why it's not available in still camera. Sensor shift stabilisation will probably come with next year flagship device at the earliest, maybe sony will even manage to shrink 5-axis IS developed by Olympus to fit it in smartphones.

One thing to remember, their implementation of digital image stabilisation for video gives results so close to optical/sensor stabilisation that most users don't even know that this is the case
