Forum:Have tremor; camera has no IS

From CHDK Wiki

I have a Canon SD900 which does not have IS. I didn't even know what that was when I bought the camera. Now, I have been placed on a medication that (as a side effect) causes a slight hand tremor. Even when the tremor is not visible, I still get the blinking red "camera shake" icon.

Would this software work in my camera and is available for the SD900? I must admit that I have no idea how to use it but hopefully I can learn.

CHDK would not provide IS capability to a camera without it. (and, it doesn't look like CHDK has (yet) been ported to the SD900). You might try a monopod to help steady the camera. It's a pole (many models are collapsible) with the "tripod" mounting screw, and provides a good measure of stability.
