This innovation helps to minimize the effects of camera shake, particularly in low-light conditions or when using telephoto settings, resulting in sharper images and enhanced overall quality.

Both models also offer a variety of shooting modes, including intelligent auto mode, which automatically adjusts settings based on the scene being captured. This allows even novice photographers to achieve satisfactory results without needing extensive technical knowledge.
