electronic image stabilization , EIS (abbreviation)

Similarly, home video cameras could use the system to replace electronic image stabilization systems, which generally degrade picture quality.

Basically it's an anti-wiggle device, officially known as E.I.S. (electronic image stabilization).

The Sharp ViewCam also offers what is known as electronic image stabilization, a feature it shares with several other advanced models.

Among the least expensive models of this type is Panasonic's PV-21 ($999), which offers an ingenious refinement known as electronic image stabilization.

The AAQ-26 features a second-generation focal plane array, electronic image stabilization, local area processing, and an adaptable interface.

Take the Canon ZR10, a 1.5-pound digital minicam that at $899 has a 10X optical zoom, a FireWire connection for fast downloading and electronic image stabilization.

The technology allows the lens to make tiny movements to compensate for shaking, and is generally considered superior to the more common (and cheaper) electronic image stabilization, which uses software to adjust for shakes.
