Will camera handle shaking from older hands?
508636
I gave this to my 6 year old granddaughter who has a hard time holding her arms/hands still for a picture, but this camera does pretty well. I think it would do ok, but if things are really shaky, whether from a young child or older hands, there still might be some blurriness. Heck, even I have blurry pictures at times! Good luck!

I'm not sure how much shaking the camera will handle. I haven't seen any problems, and it is probably as good as any less expensive camera. It has a 5X lens and then you are in digital zoom. In digital zoom, shaking will definitely be a problem.

Yes! That's the main reason I got it, it's great! I tend to be very shaky. Even though I have a really nice camera, every photo I took had a slight blur to them. So frustrating. The viewfinder lets me brace my hands and arms, tuck in my elbows and take a beautiful crisp picture! HIGHLY recommended! (And it was delivered weeks before they promised- added bonus!)

No, this lens is not shake stabilized. I take extra efforts to steady the camera at the longer focal lengths and slower shutter speeds, just as I did back in the day using traditional film cameras and lenses. Use a tripod, monopod, beanbag, wrapping the strap, leaning against a solid surface are all good techniques. Also the new Photoshop CC has a shake-fix feature.

Without seeing it,....it's hard to evaluate,...but, here it goes. Two thing go to mine,......were you maybe shaking when you were recording; was it playback steady before you uploaded?....two things can make it possibly shaky. The hands were not steady for recording, your tracking is way off, in your editing software, some software will help you adjust the steadiness. Now, in school 'sometimes' this has been referred to as jump cuts,....that has to do with the way it was recorded. How long have you had this camera,are you still under warranty, is this the first time this choppiness has happened,...in other works,has this happened before,...is this an isolated incident?

A more detailed question would be helpful, especially more information regarding the camera settings, picture composition - closeup or distance, lighting - indoor, outdoor, full sun, night, and so forth. So without that, let's eliminate the camera as being the problem. Adjust your setting to AUTO to eliminate choosing the wrong aperture F-stop setting (AV) or the time value exposure (TV). Mount your camera on a tripod or set on a bean bag to eliminate camera shakiness. 750mm is a lot of zoom to be able to hold your camera steady with just your hands, even pushing the shutter button causes slight movement. Choose a nice bright day, since the zoom is reduced to f6.9 at the far end. Zoom your lens all the way out, but refrain from using Digital zoom, use only Optical zoom. Digital zoom is just a zoom-in of the highest Optical zoom picture, leaving the picture with less pixels or lower resolution. In fact, go to MENU, find Digital Zoom and set to OFF. Next, take a picture by holding down the shutter button half way to let the camera autofocus on an image, then fully push down on the shutter button. Now preview the picture and use the digital zoom to check the focus. (Yes, digital zoom will function previewing pictures, you just don't want to take a picture using Digital Zoom.) The most common issue is probably camera shake while hand-holding a camera. Here are some 'How to Avoid Camera Shake' techniques. http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-avoid-camera-shake/ A short list of items that cause pictures to be blurry. 1) The camera is shaky; 2) the subject was not in focus (AUTO doesn't allow you to choose the focal point); 3) the subject is moving out of focus; 4) the subject is moving too fast; 5) the subject is too close (macro); or 6) there is not enough light for the autofocus to work well. Worst case scenario, your camera zoom is faulty. Hope that's not the case. I wasn't quite sure what your question was and hope you found your answer here. Good luck in your photography!

I used with an old cell phone (HTC Incredible) to record time lapse photography. Only problem I had was the clamps pressing buttons on the side.

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

you will need to go to canon.com and find the online manual for your particular model. IF it supports a wireless remote shutter release, then i would venture to say yes. otherwise, i seriously doubt it. however, i would expect that your camera does have the ability for a cable shutter release, which also allows you to not touch the camera while you take the pic, which also prevents camera shake. personally, i prefer the cable release. it's more reliable.

Video you'll need IS to reduce handshake. This len is so slow, it not even good for taking pictures of moving objects.

Sorry, I haven't tried that yet. On my old camera, if I remember correctly, it was instantly.

I have not been able to use this camera as it performs poorly. The image keeps shaking so I have not been able to transfer anything.

No, the issue is the weight, the plastic locking handles will break under the weight. Already tried it with that camera.

Small point n shoot will be held just fine. As you can see from the pic, when you extend the stick if the camera is too heavy, the stick might rotate.

I do not notice any shaking while driving. I use this primarily for my iPhone so that I may use my GPS and I am always referring to it while my car is in motion. I love this mount, and so yes, I think it would be suitable for something such as a dash cam.

Yes, they do. (Bought mine on eBay last week though...)According to another site, a forum said it may be at least six months before they'd fix the issue, but without guarantee...Your luck's been pressed. It's just a loose part inside under the shutter button, at least that's where the shaking 'click' seemed to my ears.

Yes it will... When using a tripod you will get a much better picture then a steady hand.

Doubtful, it's rather old as it is, and quite unreliable under the best of circumstances. I kept the camera, but tossed the shattered, stomped on printer long ago, lol.
