quickly afterimages are minimized to create more natural images . the progressive method is most effective when shooting designs where more patterns tend to occur or when capturing scenes during sports events where the subjects are intensely moving around . also the recorded images displayed clearly even when they are made into still images so it is possible to preserve stunning photos when clipping them from videos . interlaced scanning 1080 60i only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture . fabric patterns run together and moir patterns appears . interlaced scanning - only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture . interlaced scanning 1080 60i only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture . fabric patterns run together and moir patterns appears . progressive scanning 1080 60p reproduces all of image data in a single picture . patterns in fabric are crisp and clear with no color bleeding . 1080 50p full-hd 50 progressive recording in pal areas . in ntsc areas . 50 images per second in pal areas . 1080 50i for pal area . intelligent 20x zoom and hybrid o.i.s. optical image stabilizer 20x intelligent zoom hybrid o.i.s.the 900 series and sd800 feature an intelligent zoom function that goes all the way up to 20x . when using intelligent zoom intelligent resolution technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving the image resolution . you get sharp images of highly detailed objects without the blurry edges . plus the 900 series and sd800 are equipped with hybrid o.i.s an image stabilization system that corrects hand-shake blurring by combining the action of its hybrid optical and electrical image stabilization systems . even when zooming where hand-shake often occurs both optical and electrical hand-shake correction make it possible to record beautiful images with approximately 2 times the hand-shake suppressing effect as conventional models . compared with the hdc-sd700 hdc-tm700 and hdc-hs700 . o.i.s. optical image stabilizer lock the image-stabilizing effect is increased by pressing and holding the o.i.s. lock indication on the lcd screen which maximizes the blur detection sensitivity . this is great for when you want to zoom at a fixed angle like for bird watching . considerable blurring is generated by the shifting of the corrective lens when the camera is panned or tilted . 35mm
