Full Definition & Technical Explanation
EIS (electronic image stabilization) stabilizes video in software by cropping and aligning frames — specs show Stabilization: Digital. It costs a little sharpness and field of view.
Combined with OIS it yields steady footage. EIS can't fix exposure in darkness the way OIS can.
