Abstract
An electronic image stabilization system includes an image sensor including an array of photo sensors. Each of the photo sensors accumulates charge responsive to light incident upon the sensor. A motion sensor develops a movement signal responsive to movement of the image stabilization system. A control circuit is coupled to the image sensor and the motion sensor and shifts the charge accumulated in each photo sensor in the array to an adjacent photo sensor responsive to the movement signal.
