The Sony Xperia XZ was well known for its 23MP camera with 5 axis gyro stabilization as it is the first of all to feature such technology. With preloaded SteadyShot, the image stabilization with internal gyro stabilizer could create still photography during vigorous action. Let’s find out how the stabilizer improves the quality of these shots.
The Xperia XZ with 5 axis EIS incudes yaw, pitch, X & Y and roll adjustment which is usually used by advanced photographer or movie creator. The Xperia XZ is the first among all smartphone to feature such technology which makes us anticipate what advantage could the technology assist us in still photography.
For the best stabilization effect, we set up the stabilization to smart mode with image resolution at Full HD 30 fps along with Steady shot on.
Test 1: Walking
Steady shot is activated on the left but not on the right.
Test 2: Cycling
After we mounted it to YouBike, we start the cycling at 10km/h and test the stabilization effects.
Test 3: Motorbike
This time, we put it through a faster vehicle, a motorbike cruising at 40kmh. Steady Shot was turned on and video is captured at Full HD.
Test 4: Roller coaster
Here comes the ultimate test – roller coaster! It was surprising that the Xperia XZ is able capture stable frame with little blurring with so much vibration and movement going on.
In conclusion, the Steady Shot with the 5 axis gyro stabilizer makes the Xperia XZ a premium camera smartphone that is able to capture and record stable handheld video. While all videos are recorded in Full HD resolution, we hope that Sony will roll out patches that makes the camera to record beyond Full HD with Steady Shot.
