The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

What is Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)?

What is Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)?

We see the label "OIS" more and more often in the specifications of smartphones, so some people don't really understand what it is, what it does, and what does it mean to the end-user?

OIS is an abbreviation of "Optical Image Stabilization", which in translation would mean "Optical Image Stabilization", and what it does - stabilizes the image from the camera.

Image stabilization technology is present in newer smart devices and aims to reduce blurry images caused by hand tremors. This technology is divided into two parts: hardware and software solutions.

The hardware solution consists of mechanically moving the camera in its case in the opposite direction from moving the phone (i.e., the surrounding case that is attached to the phone). This keeps the camera still and the image clear. These movements are reduced thanks to motion sensors and gyroscopic technology. However, since the camera is small and the distance between the camera and its body is quite small, the camera can reduce a small movement, which is somewhat enough to just shake your hand. That is why some better and more expensive devices have a software solution in addition to the hardware one.

Digital image stabilization is based on image corrections in the software itself. Here, the image is stabilized by tracking the movements of the phone via a gyroscopic sensor and the software moves the image in the opposite direction from moving the phone and cuts the pixels that go out of the frame, thus creating the impression that the image is in place.

Some devices have both optical and digital stabilization, which is the best solution, but some only digital, which is not so efficient. In general, as an end-user, it is best to look next to "Image Stabilization" to see if it says optical, digital, or optical and digital.

This technology is certainly very useful and if you like to take frequent pictures, I recommend looking for devices that have OIS.

In these pictures you can see the difference between the Nexus 6P (above) which does not have stabilization and the Note 5 (below) which has:

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

By Administrator
IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

"Revive" ancestral photos with this free app

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video worth? So if the video lasts 10 seconds then it is worth 300,000 words considering that the video has 30 FPS. Now imagine having a video of your ancestor? You'd love it, wouldn't you? Well, if you have a picture of that person, you can make a video from just that one picture!
