The image stabilizer works great, so it's trivial to use slow shutter speeds with long focal lenghts to shoot flowing water hand-held.

Yosemite Falls by Starlight

Yosemite Falls by Starlight, 10:22~10:27 P.M. 2016 Sony RX10 Mk III at 40mm equiv. (14.2mm actual), f/3.2 for five minutes (bulb setting and standard threaded locking cable release) at ISO 100. bigger or full-resolution file to explore on your computer (mobile devices rarely display the full resolution properly).

It was partly cloudy, so we're looking at the stars through blowing clouds in this five-minute exposure.

If you have Long Exposure NR ON as I did here, the camera sits around displaying PROCESSING... for an additional five minutes making a dark-frame exposure to subtract from the image.
