If it has the frequency and amplitude typical of muscle tremmor, respiration, pulse, etc; it cancels it out. If it has frequency and amplitude typical of intentional movement, it allows it. It is not perfect, but it does help a lot with keeping modern photographic equipment stable enough for, for example, low light shots while not significantly interfering with action shots.
