Originally posted by Class A - It is pretty much general knowledge that rotational shake is counteracted by shifting the sensor (not tilting it).
- Illustrations and real-world images of the SR mechanism show that (a) there is no room for tilting the sensor, and (b) the coils only support shifting (and roll) but not tilting.
- A sensor tilt would achieve a tilt effect, i.e., tilt the plane of focus like a tilt/shift lens does. That would be (a) undesired and (b) do nothing to compensate the rotational movement.
Since I am trying to understand how the 5 axis work I have searched for some illustrations on how it actually works so this general knowledge you refer to I do not have.
I was hoping that you, in you respons, would have directed me to some links where I could learn more on the specifics.
If the sensor would tilt it would be like if you tilted the back standard of a large format camera and that alone would be undesired.
If your shake tilts the camera upwards I would think that the counter measure would be to tilt the sensor in the opposite direction at the same time that you shift it to keep it on the optical axies.
