In body image stabilisation (IBIS)

The big point of discussion on the X-H1 is the implementation of a five-axis IBIS. It's the first X-series model to behands pitch and yaw correction to the lens and corrects the other three axes in-body. With lenses that correct four axes of movement, such as the Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR, the camera hands pitch and yaw to the lens, with roll being corrected by the camera body. The IBIS system works as well for stills as it does for movie capture, providing a Steadicam look to handheld footage when used with the latter. Anyone who attempts to use adapted lenses with the X-H1 should be aware that they'll only get three-axis IBIS due to focus distance being a prerequisite for effective five-axis in-body stabilisation.

I refer to the article in AP 23 April regarding early digital cameras using CCD sensors. I bought a Pentax K10D when it was introduced in 2006 – it made sense as I was a Pentax film camera user and could use the same lenses. It won me several competi
