Pentax selects InvenSense for image stabilization : InvenSense, provider of integrated motion sensing solutions for consumer electronics, announced that Pentax Corp has selected its IDG-1000 series dual-axis gyroscope for use in the Optio A30 digital camera and for next generation digital still cameras with optical image stabilization features. InvenSense’s gyro is used to precisely measure the camera user’s hand shake which is compensated for using Pentax’s Shake Reduction (SR) technology for improved image capture in low-light settings and telephoto use. Image stabilization is quickly becoming a standard feature in digital cameras and is a key factor for why consumers are replacing their early-version cameras with new models.
