Ive read reviews that say the E-420 does not have image stabilization, but the Olympus web site says it does. Does it?
Yes. The E-420 features Digital Image Stabilization via DIS Mode. When the Mode Dial is turned to SCENE, the Scene Select menu is displayed on the LCD monitor. Use the arrow buttons to select DIS Mode, and then press the [OK] button. When DIS Mode is activated, the camera boosts the ISO sensitivity of the sensor as well as the shutter speed in order to minimize blur due to camera or subject movement. This is particularly useful in low-light conditions when the camera would otherwise set a longer exposure in order to let more natural light reach the sensor. The downside of long exposures is they offer more opportunity for camera or subject movement. With DIS Mode, it is possible to minimize or eliminate blur because the shutter is open for a shorter duration.
