Abstract
An image stabilization method for a camera is provided. The image stabilization method controls the shutter of the camera. The image stabilization method, according to the present invention, first detects whether a trigger signal has been inputted, wherein the trigger signal is inputted by a user and starts an image capturing process. Next, the time when the trigger signal was inputted is detected and recorded as a first time. Afterwards, a stabilization time is delayed based upon the first time. Finally, a drive signal is generated when the stabilization time ends, wherein the drive signal drives the shutter to turn on for executing the image capturing process.
