(Upper) Camera shake during exposure creates image blur. (Lower) The same scene captured with the same exposure duration and a similar degree of camera shake but with an image stabilization mechanism (Canon PowerShot SD700 IS) that compensates for camera movement. How the visual system compensates for retinal image motion so as to prevent detail from being similarly corrupted by temporal integration processes in the brain is currently unknown.
