Q: QuestionI got two different answers yes IBS and no VR. I know different manufactures label their product features by different names, and I can appreciate that, however all I want to know if this IBS is as good as VR in Nikon/Canon? Thanks.

Asked 8 years ago by Jamers.

• A:Answer IBIS = In Body Image Stabilization = various camera manufacturers VR = Vibration Reduction = Nikon lenses IS = Image Stabilized = Canon lenses The difference is IBIS stabilizes the camera's sensor so any lens you put on the camera, whether it has its own stabilization or not, is stabilized merely because the sensor recording the picture is stabilized. This is better than lens only stabilization because any lens you use on a camera with IBIS is a "stabilized" lens.

Q: QuestionDoes this camera have wi-fi? Or does it really work for live-streaming?

Asked 6 years ago by Ana.

• A:Answer Hello Ana, the a7 III has WiFi functions for remote control, FTP transfer or transferring images to your smartphone but doesn't do live streaming. For that you would need an external HDMI capture card and connect your camera to it to receive the video signal on your computer.
