Optical stabilization on iPhone SE second gen.

You cannot turn off stabilization in the camera settings. Your camera has a hardware issue, which we can't solve for you. Either pay to have the phone fixed or wait until you are ready to replace the phone with a newer phone.

That's honestly the best anyone here on this user to user only forum can offer you.

Hi,

Thank you for your input. While I understand your suggestion to avoid using Slo-Mo, it's important to consider that the original poster found Slo-Mo to be a temporary solution that works for their situation. Here's why:

1. Immediate Practicality: The original poster noticed that Slo-Mo mode mitigates the shaking issue. In the absence of a direct method to turn off OIS, using Slo-Mo mode provides an immediate, practical workaround.
2. Extracting Still Frames: If high-quality photos are needed, it's possible to extract still frames from Slo-Mo videos. This can serve as a useful interim solution until they get a new iPhone.
3. Temporary Solutions: Given that the poster plans to replace their iPhone soon, practical and quick fixes like using Slo-Mo mode can help manage the issue without investing in repairs or additional equipment.

While it's not a perfect solution, using Slo-Mo mode addresses the specific issue they’re facing with the broken OIS. It’s about finding a balance between what’s ideal and what’s feasible in their current situation.

Try to give more practical advise that proposes practical solutions to the specific concerns of post authors rather than hope crushing statements that do nothing to respond to the authors questions But, nonetheless your participation is appreciated.

Best regards,

Knanaya

Why are you bringing up 10 month old posts? The original poster has likely moved on and bought that new iPhone in a >few months<. No need to criticize, just make an alternate suggestion and substantiate it with your reasoning. Criticizing really has no place in the community. But your participation is appreciated. 😀😀

Do not use Slo-Mo.

Hello~ Senior members here dedicate hours each day to helping users with a myriad of issues and being critical/condescending of them is not a practical solution either.
