How to turn off, (or looking for a video app that doesn't do) image stabilization - General Questions and Answers

Any and every video camera app I tried has some sort of built in image stabilization and this makes any footage useless for me. Corner warping and distortion is very visible a lot of times.

Yes this same problem also with me, AS the time we need the images the distortion occurs and image get vanished.

Change your shot mode to auto, but I believe your pictures will no longer be as HD as they could be but should be fine just fine.

[SUGGESTION for MOD] Fix video orientation while recording

One thing that has really pissed me off forever, is when people post videos on YouTube or wherever, but which were recorded incorrectly. By "incorrectly" I mean in portrait. Nothing looks worse than watching a narrow ass video with two fat black bars on either side of it, wasting space, and wasting my time watching a crappy video that would have been cool if the person recording the damn thing just turned their phone 90 degrees...
What I propose is a MOD to the camera app which includes a toggled feature to record videos in landscape, regardless of the device orientation. In other words, while the feature is toggled on, even if the user is holding the camera in a portrait position, the video being recorded will still be in landscape.
By doing this, users can still benefit from the comfort of holding their devices in portrait (because it IS easier to hold that way, especially when you're going one-handed), while recording videos which will show up properly during playback in landscape.
Thoughts?

Video stabilization is turned off when setting is set to "on"

I was little disappointed with poor video stabilization capabilities of S6, so I even had to use Stabilize' option in YouTube after uploading my videos. Then I thought maybe my optical image stabilization component is damaged so I started playing with it and once I turned it off in camera app settings, my video stabilization started to work very well. Then I noticed some other people noticed the same thing on S6 Edge forum. So it seems to be a bug in camera software. Anyway - if you want to have video stabilization you need to have it turned off. It's funny that most people didn't notice this issue It also took my almost 6 weeks to find it out as some videos are good even without video stabilization

Blurry sides when 60FPS recording

Hi guys, when i was recording 60fps video two days ago, i saw that now and then the sides of my video gets blurry (for less then a second) . Sometimes its the right side of the screen, sometimes the bottom, sometimes top..
For example:

My question is: is this normal, do you guys have the same issue? I couldn't find anything on the internet about this.
This is probably the effect of electronic image stabilization (EIS), I've seen it also on my 4K videos. Try to turn off SteadyShot and see if it helps.

Back Camera - Video look zoomed in

Hello, when i take pictures with the back camera, i can choose aspect 4:3 or 16:9 and it look fine. But when trying to record a video, only offers 16:9, 1:1 or full, but in all aspects it wayyy zoomed in , I have to put in panoramic mode to look a bit more decent but it look distorted. Is this normal?
Hi @_Elixir,
This happens when "Video Stabilization" is ON, it’s part of the feature. If you don't like it, turn it off on "camera settings" (gear icon on the top) and restart the camera app. But you'll must have a steady hand to record the video without shaking.

Video Problem

Hi, i have been watching a lot of videos in reviews and youtube and i have noticed a common problem in video recording, like some frame dropping. You can check in this video with the train movement.

Is any way to fix it?
Thanks!
Hi,
yes it is.. Disabling EIS helps a lot, but mostly it works without often frame drops using FilmicPro or Open Camera ( this is most stable for video recording).
About fix for a stock camera, I would not put many hopes for it, even Mi 10 Pro with SD 865 does video with stutters. I believe this most of software problem.
Similar to what Dom said. I don't think it's frame drop, it looks like the image EIS stabilisation is getting confused with the scene moving at different speeds. It's probably trying to track train motion and floor motion.
Try again with image stabilisaion disabled. If you need steady footage maybe see if your video editor handles it better.
Also in the low light scenes the EIS gives footage a weird ghosting effect (even the GoPro7 does it).
I wish there was an auto disable EIS in low light option
Shouldnt the OIS help? So its not completely unstabillized? That should work for video as well and maybe evene better?

OIS is always on and cannot be turned off as it's a physical part of the camera sensor. However the OIS level of stabilisation is subtle compared to EIS
