Fujifilm X-H1 Development Story #7 – In Body Image Stabilization Explained
Fujifilm X-H1 IBIS Development
The 7th epsiode of the Fujifilm X-H1 development story is a highly awaited one: the development of IBIS.
And right at the start they adress one of the big questions: how does it come that in 2016 Fujifilm managers said IBIS is not compatible with X-mount, and now we have the X-H1?
The question has already been answered by Billy in a fantastic TCSTV X-H1 live stream. And now fujifilm-x confirms:
“We said in the past that there will not be an IBIS for the X Mount. We’ve said that because back then having IBIS meant compromises on the image quality. But now we need to correct the statement. The X-H1 has IBIS. We now have developed one that works without compromising on the image quality.”
As Billy told us, in order not to lose image quality and to be super precise, the whole IBIS mechanism has to be bigger compared to the one of other camera manufacturers. Billy (as well as other managers), also said that the current IBIS can’t fit into smaller bodies, but in future, with further development of their IBIS tech, they might be able to put IBIS into smaller bodies.
For now, though, the Fujifilm X-T3 is rumored not to have IBIS.
Now back to the IBIS development story.
