Anti-Shake - Konica Minolta's "Anti-Shake" feature is the mechanical shifting of the imager to compensate for camera movement and minimise blurring at lower shutter speeds.

ANTI-SHAKE - Technology that combats a lens's movement caused by camera shake to reduce blur in an image.
The APERTURE is the opening you see in the lens.

Anti-Shake or Image Stabilization: Minimizes the effect of camera shake by eliminating the blur to deliver clean and crisp images every time.

A technology that stabilizes either the lens ("optical image stabilization") or image sensor ("image sensor shift" or "CCD-shift") to effectively reduce blur due to camera shake when using a slow shutter speed.

Also known as Image Stabilization (IS) or Vibration Reduction (VR), anti-shake technology is a method of reducing the effects of camera movement to the photographic image. Image stabilization can be achieved in the lens or in the camera body.

In 2005, Sony and Konica Minolta agreed to co-develop DSLR cameras, combining features such as Sony's CCD and CMOS sensors and Lithium batteries and Konica Minolta's AF, metering and anti-shake system.

An anti-shake system is possible, but only in future lenses since any in-camera sensor would be too large to move mechanically. Pentax is not ruling out using a 24X36mm sensor. Medium format sales in Japan are poor.

This may be called Image Stabilization, Vibration Reduction, Anti-Shake, Anti-Blur or something similar. There are three main types of image stabilization.

The process goes under a confusing variety of names including image stabilization, vibration reduction, and anti-shake. Manufacturers claim 2 to 3 stop increases before camera shake blurs an image.

cameras the sensors are also mounted in a frame, but the "frame size" of a digicam is the effective size of the rectangular image area on the sensor chip. The position of the image sensor is not necessarily fixed when it's mounted on an anti-shake ...
