I don't shoot a lot of video but I noticed that some of it wasn't very good; the picture swam into and out of focus, and it sort of "shudders"...turns out it's related to image stabilasation. If i turn it off it's great. Does anyone else have this problem? The stabilisation does a great job of stabilising, but it's not worth it if it's going to do this to the video.
The new update ruined my video mode. It looks hideous now even if I turn it off

Has anyone experienced/experiencing the same problem of choppy video recording on HTC Touch Diamond? When I move phone from side to side during a video recording, the image gets blurry and choppy. How do i fix that? Thanks in advance.
What did you expect from a mini cam like that... But yeah, I get the same kinda videos. Recording in bright daylight seems to improve the recording but since winter there hasn't been very much sunlight around.
Hey. I'm an owner of a P20 Pro for almost a year now, and I always had good experience using it. However the last couple of weeks I've been bugged with some issues with the camera. Stills are fine, and they look great, but apart from that, everything else just looks horrible. I've read multiple threads over the last year where people discussed OIS of the camera in P20 Pro, pros and cons etc.
Some said that not 1, but 3 rear cameras are OIS. It feels like I'm missing something on my phone as the stabilisation feels really weird. Here are my observations:
1.) Camera in photo mode takes 2-3 seconds before you see it "grips" something to keep it stabilised. However, this does not feel like OIS at all. At least when tested devices like Pixel 2, Samsung S9 etc. How is it possible that camera supposedly has analog stabilisation, yet it takes 2 seconds before stabilisation finally kicks in?
2.) Sometimes stabilisation just does not kick in. This seems to be the case in low light or low contrast environments, and it seems like the camera just can't get a "grip" on something to keep it stabilised. Shouldn't OIS work regardless of the situation you're in?
3.) Video is absolutely horrific. Same as in PHOTO mode, the video just takes 2 seconds before you see it "stabilised". Then even once it's stabilised every camera movement just makes subjects on video choppy, and the movement is far from being smooth.
4.) For the last couple of days the stabilisation just does not work at all. It seems that sometimes when I open the camera, it just won't work no matter how long I wait. The preview is shaky. Also, if camera is physically OIS, why is it not supported in 4K or even 60p? I don't get that.
EDIT: Just found out that turning "beauty mode" in video mode ON, also a bit zooms out and disables the stabilisation. HOW? Like, why? How are these things connected? I don't understand the logic behind it.
To me it really seems like there's software stabilisation doing the work, which is quite frankly poorly done. Yet, there are videos of people dissasembling the device showing the cameras are indeed OIS.
Am I missing something here, guys? I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find similar thread.
Hi, i am having the strange issue with video stabilization on my note 9. It started after receiving one of the software updates. The issue is that on certain video resolutions (for me it started on 1920x1080 and 2224x1080 at 30fps) video is cropped and zoomed in as you would expect but the saved video is still shaky. Funny thing is - when i installed Android 10 the issue didn't go away but instead note stabilization doesn't work on 4k and works on 1080 now. I have no idea what's going on and the service center charged me $160 to fix it, but that's quite a lot.
Has anybody faced anything similar?
Can someone please check on your phones if shooting in different resolutions with stabilizer turned on results in different stabilization effect?
With my previous phones (S7 and S9+), I found video stabilisation did more harm than good. With the S21 Ultra, it actually does a very good job stabilising video when moving.
However, I've disabled video stabilisation by default even on the S21 Ultra now. I rarely record video while moving, so there isn't much benefit in my context, and there can actually be a lot of "harm". One example of this is when recording video with the 10x zoom lens - I've noticed significant "wobble" effect when switching to this lens. It's hard to describe, but it's as if the whole picture/video is "wobbling" and distorting when using this lens. This only occurs when video stabilisation is enabled and only with the 10x Zoom lens (I think I may have noticed it on the 3x Zoom lens a few months ago too). When disabled, this issue goes away.
Can anyone else reproduce this? You may need to test in different lighting conditions - I find it's most noticeable with outdoor lighting. A separate issue is what I would describe as "micro-jitters" appearing when video stabilisation is enabled.
Same here, I don't recall having this issue when first purchased.
This was always present for me. And I always thought it is normal...
So I have my S23 now for 1,5 months and I bought for my vacation to Japan, to make some good videos.
Now that Im editing the videos I noticed the quality is sometimes really bad, especially when moving.
I always move very slow for a smooth video, but it seems like it was even better on my Galaxy S10!?
Also it sometimes seems really grainy...
Horizontal or vertical lines from buildings or lights or whatever start subtly shaking when I pan the camera slowly.
Is this a known issue? Or is there something wrong with my camera?
I recorded most on 0.6 ultrawide, but I check the few videos with the 1.0 and they have the same problem.
My photo quality on the other hand is perfect, so I dont think its the problem I read about in the other thread of a common camera issue.
I think it's happening because of the electronic image stabilization. You can turn off stabilization in camera settings.
