Image stabilization

The Techart TZG-01 – Contax G / Nikon Z bayonet adapter supports the Integrated Image Stabilization (IBIS) function. It operates at different sensitivities, depending on the focal length. When shooting, its value in the camera should be set according to the focal length of the lens. Such parameters maximize the performance of image stabilization. The corresponding aperture values for different focal lengths are as follows:

aperture: F1.0 F1.1 F1.2 F1.4 F1.6 F1.8 F2.0 F2.2 F2.5 F2.8
focal length: 90 mm 70 mm 60 mm 50 mm 45 mm 35 mm 28 mm 21 mm 16 mm 15 mm

Contax G lenses are manual aperture lenses, so setting it on the camera does not affect the exposure when shooting.
