Turn Off Video Camera Stabilizer?

After reviewing a video I'd recorded on my iPhone 4S, I noticed that the camera seemed to be stabilizing the video, since I had moved the camera around while recording.

If anyone has ever used the "stabilizing" feature when editing a video on YouTube, they notice how the new "stabilized" video has a somewhat choppy fluidity, because the feature is trying to balance out the movements of your camera. It sometimes, in my opinion, ends up looking worse before you tried to stabilize the video.

Anyhow, I noticed the same stabilizing-type feature when reviewing my video on the iPhone. Except, I didn't turn on any stabilizing feature and I'm wondering if iPhone video recorders are made with an auto-stabilizer. And if so, is it possible to turn off? And how?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

Hi jihanemo,

I'm not sure if the stabilization feature is an option that can be turned off. I've roughly checked my phones settings and saw no setting to disable it. Since I think the stabilization feature is part of the software within iOS, you might have better luck using a third party application from the app store that doesn't stabilize videos or images.

I hope this helps, if not please don't hesitate to ask! I don't mind 😀

That sounds about right. I searched for this particular setting but didn't find one. Thanks for your reply! 🙂
