The camera stabilizer on my iPhone 12 isn't working

Greetings ion179,

Ensuring the camera is working as expected on your iPhone 12 is important and you've come to a great place for help! To work towards resolving this issue, you'll want to complete the first set of steps listed below. While the article and steps may reference a different issue than what you're experiencing, these steps are relevant to reaching a resolution. You can also find these steps outlined in the following article.

1. "Remove any case, accessory, or film that might block the camera or flash or that places a magnet near the camera.
2. Test the camera by trying to take a photo.
3. Test the LED flash:
   1. Try the flashlight in Control Center on your iPhone or Control Center on your iPad. On an iPhone X or later or an iPad, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.
   2. Tap the Flashlight button ."

If you continue to have issues after completing these steps, you'll want to complete the remaining steps below.

1. "If the photo is blurry, clean the front and back camera lenses with a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens or if the camera lens appears to be misaligned or blocked, contact Apple Support to discuss service options.
2. Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. 
3. Test the camera again by taking a photo. If your device has a front and rear camera, check if one or both isn’t working. To switch cameras, tap the rotate button ."
