手振れ補正

手振れ補正

ChatGPT:

The standard and most widely accepted translation of 「手振れ補正」 is:

image stabilization

---

🔍 Breakdown:

• 手振れ → literally hand shake (camera shake caused by hand movement)

• 補正 → correction, compensation, or stabilization

---

✅ Common translations and usage:

Japanese	English Equivalent	Notes
手振れ補正	image stabilization	Most common term in camera/imaging contexts
手振れ補正機構	image stabilization mechanism	Used in specs or hardware description
手振れ補正処理	image stabilization processing	For software-based correction
手振れ補正部	image stabilization unit	For block/component diagrams
光学式手振れ補正	optical image stabilization (OIS)	Hardware-based
電子式手振れ補正	electronic image stabilization (EIS)	Software-based

 

---

⚠ Alternatives:

• “hand shake correction” or “camera shake correction” is possible, but these are usually used only in technical explanations or patents, not as general terms.

• “vibration compensation” is broader and can refer to other sources of motion.

---

✅ Summary:

If you're writing for general technical documentation or even patent specs:

• Use “image stabilization” as the default.

• Use more specific forms like “optical image stabilization” if needed.

How about "shake correction"?

ChatGPT:

“Shake correction” is grammatically correct and technically understandable, but it is not the most idiomatic or standard term in English — especially in imaging and camera-related contexts.

---

🔍 Analysis of “shake correction”:

✅ Pros:

• Faithful to the literal Japanese:

  • 手振れ = shake (from hand movement)

  • 補正 = correction

• Can be used in technical or patent contexts where you want to stay close to the structure of the original Japanese.

• Shorter than “camera shake correction” or “image stabilization.”

⚠️ Cons:

• Not idiomatic: Native technical documents in English typically don’t say “shake correction.”

• Sounds slightly awkward or incomplete — readers may wonder “What kind of shake?”

• Lacks clarity without context — it might not be clear that it refers to camera movement unless the broader subject is already known.

---

✅ Standard alternatives:

Japanese	Natural English Term
手振れ補正	image stabilization
手振れ補正処理	image stabilization processing
手振れ補正機構	image stabilization mechanism
手振れ補正部	image stabilization unit
手振れ補正アルゴリズム	shake compensation algorithm (rare)

 

---

✅ Recommendation:

• Use “image stabilization” in general or public-facing documents.

• Use “shake correction” only if:

  • You’re in a patent or internal technical document,

  • and the context clearly defines what kind of shake is being corrected (e.g., camera shake).

あなた:

How about "hand blur" for 手振れ?

ChatGPT:

Good question — but “hand blur” is not a natural or standard expression in English, even in technical contexts.

---

🔍 Why “hand blur” doesn’t work well:

1. Not idiomatic

   • Native speakers don’t use “hand blur” to refer to camera shake or image blurring caused by hand movement.

   • It sounds like the hand itself is blurred, not that the image is blurred due to hand movement.

2. Unclear meaning

   • It's ambiguous: it could mean a blurred image of a hand, motion of the hand, or something else entirely.

---

✅ Correct and standard expressions for 手振れ:

Japanese	Natural English Equivalent	Notes
手振れ	camera shake	Standard, clear, idiomatic
	image blur caused by hand movement	More descriptive, for clarity
	motion blur due to hand shake	Accurate in technical writing
	hand-induced blur	Less common, but precise in context
	shake (in context)	Acceptable when the context is well-defined

あなた:

Is the following sentence acceptable? A correction unit corrects information acquired by a sensor in accordance with the degree of shake detected by a shake detection unit.

ChatGPT:

Yes, your sentence is grammatically correct, clear, and acceptable — especially in a technical or patent context where the word “shake” has already been established to mean camera shake or hand-induced motion.

---

✅ Sentence:

A correction unit corrects information acquired by a sensor in accordance with the degree of shake detected by a shake detection unit.

🔍 Why it works:

• “Correction unit” and “shake detection unit” are standard component terms in electronics/imaging.

• “Corrects information acquired by a sensor” is natural and clear.

• “Degree of shake” is concise and matches technical usage when “shake” has been contextually defined.

---

✅ Optional refinements (if needed):

• More formal/technical:

  ...based on the detected degree of shake.

• More descriptive (if clarity about the context is important):

  ...based on the degree of camera shake detected by the shake detection unit.

But your original sentence is fully acceptable as-is in many patent and technical contexts.
