How do you rate the SSS for Sony?

[mysilentkaopei]

i hear using SSS on tripod will get some kinda wierd sound cuz the cam's anticipating a jerk or something... not a jerk as in human but yeah u noe what i mean...

I only turn the SSS on when I need it. Its reachable by your thumb while having the camera on your eye.

it drain more batt when it is on, so i prefer to have it off

SSS on most of the time...off it only when using external flash.

Thanks for sharing

Out of curiosity, that how many of us turn on the SSS all the time? or only during certain shots/conditions?
Cos I always left it to on 99% of the time. Hehe

it's on 100% of the time for me since I have no reason to turn it off

no problem with SSS enabled & mounted on a tripod. shown below is a 30sec exp night shot with SSS enabled

also almost on most of the time.

Mine is ON all the time.

I usually leave it on, and will turn it off when I needed a flash sync speed of 1/250

... when camera shake is a concern is to take a burst of shots (hold down the shutter button with 'drive' set to Lo or Hi) and you'll get some number of sharp shots. SSS and burst in combination can do amazing things.

I tried shooting w/o SSS, seems like no diff..:bsmilie:
If it consumes more batt then I'll off it for the time being, maybe turn it on when required ba..
Anyway has anyone compared the SSS to Canon IS technology??

Under what conditions? What shutter speeds you using? It shouldn't consume that much battery power because the SSS only kicks in when you press the shutter (unlike consumer compacts when stabilisation is happening all the time.) I leave mine on all the time, and I can easily hit 600++ shots in a day w/o batt change.

The general guideline to ensure shake-free shots is the reciprocal of the focal length used. Get a telephoto lens, say 300mm, and instead of shooting it at 1/300s, try 1/30 sec or even 1/15 sec, with and without SSS. And remember, your camera handling fundamentals must still be sound throughout!

If there's really no diff (i.e blurry shots regardless), then maybe either there's problem with your technique, or the SSS is malfunctioning. OR maybe you so steady until you can handhold at 1/10 sec with no problems, then of course there will be no diff. There are people out there who consistently get tack sharp shots at 1/2 sec.

For what it's worth, according to some magazine reports, lens-based stabilisation is marginally better than in-body sensor stabilisation. But that doesn't mean in-body is no good. And furthermore, every lens in your system is now stabilised, and that is a huge practical advantage.

Thanks for the info, I'll go n borrow a tele lens from my fren to try it out.
