ABSTRACT:
Image stabilizing in cameras is disclosed. In an exemplary implementation, a camera system may comprise an image sensor for collecting image data during use, and a motion sensor generating at least camera roll data. An image stabilizing subsystem may be operatively associated with the motion sensor and the image sensor. The image stabilizing subsystem moves the image sensor based on the camera roll data from the motion sensor and a correction factor based on a calibration procedure and stored in the image stabilizing subsystem to correct for at least camera roll during image exposure. Methods of calibrating a camera system for camera roll and of reducing blur from camera roll during use are also disclosed.
