The image sensor shift blur reduction function reduces the hand-motion blurring that tends to occur in situations such as telephoto and macro shooting. When blurring is detected, the CMOS sensor automatically compensates by shifting in a direction that eliminates the blur. For lowlight scenes (indoors, twilight, etc.), subject blurring can be reduced using auto high sensitivity, which enables fasters shutter speeds by raising the maximum ISO sensitivity level. These functions can help you to capture the ambiance of the scene as you see it.
