![]() ![]() Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to confirm as well. I will need to do more testing as I just discovered this today by accident. When using steady shot I can shoot at 1/60 and not get those vibrations, and I can still use catalyst browse to stabilize. It seemed to work just fine and I do not see any artifacts. I was surprised when I opened a video I had taken with IBIS on and it gave me the option to stabilize. What I understood when I purchased the a7C was that catalyst browse could NOT stabilize the video when steady shot (IBIS) had been enabled, and the reason for the higher shutter speed was because with steady shot off you will get shock/vibrations while walking if using 1/60 second. The camera does not matter the stabilization stabilization technology is the same across the newest Sony cameras. To prove I am not an armchair critic, here is my demo of gyro stabilization using Catalyst Browse and following all the rules: Content (subjects, or color or exposure) does not matter for this. I understand it is work to create and post videos, but if you really want to understand what is what, it can best be be done by showing what you get. So, let's see if you missed them or if Sony does not know what it is talking about. So if you are walking while shooting, using low shutter speeds and also have stabilization enabled in camera, you supposedly should be seeing some quite visible artifacts. Why don't you post your videos testing gyro stabilization? It does not help very much to just claim "It looked almost like a gimbal." The gyro stabilization works best, for example, at high shutter speeds allegedly. Would be very interesting to hear more input on this. Will probably require a more scientific A/B testing to see how well it is actually working with steady shot activated, but for me it seems to work very well. Much improved from the video with just steady shot alone. I did some walking panning shots of my car with steady shot on and stabilized in catalyst browse at 80% and it looked almost like a gimbal. ![]() I do like that you don't get as much of the vibration effect when walking with a slower shutter speed with steady shot on. Hard to tell if it works better with IBIS turned off, since the video is shakier to begin with. I tried catalyst browse stabilization with and without steady shot activated. My videos were all shot using an a7C in 4k 30p 100mbps. Yes I noticed this as well! Stabilization works in catalyst browse even with steady shot (IBIS) activated. the only thing I'd love to see is some sort of batch processing option since right now having to do each clip will slow down my work flow a good bit. Out of the 30+ clips I shot only one did not allow post stabilization processing and I can't figure out why either same lens same shooting condition.Īnyone figured out the exact requirement to make sure that gyro stabilization is enabled?Īlso when it does work the level of stabilization is great, approaching the level of stabilization I am accustom to see on the latest gopro camera minus the horizon leveling option. I tried using Catalyst Browse to do post stabilization and from what I have read you must disable IBIS in order for this to work however I noticed that at least for me Catalyst stabilization works even on clips with Steady shot enabled. Not sure if that makes a difference.I recently upgraded to the A7C from EOSM and I had been experimenting with various function on the A7C. I can understand why someone might not want to mix gyro stabilization with IBIS, but there doesn't seem to be anything preventing it.Įdited to add: I run CB on a Mac with Big Sur (technically not supported by Sony). ![]() I'm pretty sure it's the same with "active" in-camera stabilization on, but don't have easy access to a clip right now to test. All my 24 and 60fps clips show gyro data. The only clips that do not show as having gyro data are those shot at 120fps. I have tried this before on other clips with the same results. ![]() It previews and exports a stabilized version of the clip without issue. Sigma lens (no lens IS).Ĭatalyst browse shows the clip as having gyro data. All this info is confirmed in metadata shown in CB. Shot with standard "steady shot" in-camera stabilization on. I see this advice in many places, but am not sure if it is accurate. ![]()
