Hi everyone,

While I super enjoying my X-T20 for still, I'm not enjoying it so much for Video. I'm shooting at Auto, 1080p, at 30FPS, and everything if not using a tripod, looks very shaky. My phone seems to have a better image stabilization, and it makes me wonder why. Is it just X-T20 being a bit out-dated? or is a OIS is a LENS feature rather then body?

Thanks!

To my knowledge, the X-T20 does not support IBIS (in-body image stabilization) as a feature.  That means, when using that particular camera, you would need to use lenses with OIS (optical image stabilization) or switch to a different camera that supports IBIS if you need that feature.  So, to answer your questions, stabilization can be an in-body capability in certain models, or if not present, can be provided by the lens.  In cases where you use a camera that supports IBIS and also have an OIS lens mounted, the two will work together to provide optimal stabilization.

Bottom line: either limit your video usage to lenses with OIS or switch to a camera with IBIS, and all lenses will benefit from the in-body stabilization.
