Claim Text:
1. A method performed by an information handling system for reducing a delay from panning a camera system, the method comprising: receiving a first estimate of a physical movement of the camera system along a first axis; receiving a second estimate of the physical movement of the camera system along a second axis, wherein the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis; in response to the first estimate, determining whether the camera system is being panned along the first axis; in response to the second estimate, determining whether the camera system is being panned along the second axis; in response to determining that the camera system is not being panned along the first axis, counteracting most effects of the physical movement along the first axis in a video sequence from the camera system, even if the camera system is being panned along the second axis; in response to determining that the camera system is not being panned along the second axis, counteracting most effects of the physical movement along the second axis in the video sequence, even if the camera system is being panned along the first axis; in response to determining that the camera system is being panned along the first axis, preserving most effects of the panning along the first axis in the video sequence, while concurrently shifting the video sequence along the first axis toward a position that balances flexibility in counteracting effects of a subsequent physical movement of the camera system along the first axis, even if the camera system is not being panned along the second axis; and in response to determining that the camera system is being panned along the second axis, preserving most effects of the panning along the second axis in the video sequence, while concurrently shifting the video sequence along the second axis toward a position that balances flexibility in counteracting effects of a subsequent physical movement of the camera system along the second axis, even if the camera system is not being panned along the first axis.
