Subject: RE: A10: Pentax Image Stabilization is here
Knowing the FL makes it lot easier to make a IS system. But I do believe
it
is possible to make a more "intelligent" solution.
My idea is something like this:
First it measures the camera movements, and makes a rough guess. Then a
feedback system (based on data from the image sensor) tells the camera how
successful the first estimate was. Based on that information you will have
data for a better calculation. (A similar technique has been used with
some
success in subwoofers in sound systems).
This is just my non expert speculations...
What I'm trying to say is: We don't _know_ that a IS system needs the FL,
you are just assuming it.

If Pentax are simply using in camera gyros (I expect that this isn't
correct,
they would more likely be accelerometers) then they must have to know the
lenses FL to determine the mechanical offset to apply to the sensor to
offset
the shake. Consider the difference on the film plane that a similar
amplitude
body shake will produce at the sensor if I have my A300/2.8 and 2x TC or
my
A15/3.5 mounted?
How the Minolta works or how effective it is I have no idea, but you can
be
very sure that the Pentax system as used in the A10 if adopted for DSLR
use
needs FL, the copy on DPReview even states it (though not very
elegantly):
"(1) Two internal gyro sensors detect the amount of camera shake.
(2) A dedicated CPU quickly calculates the necessary correction from the
amount
of camera shake and the lens´s focusing data."
