Turn Video Stabilization On or Off auf Samsung
Video stabilization is a software-based correction that reduces camera shake while recording. Samsung enables it by default for the main camera lens, since that sensor typically relies on this correction instead of optical stabilization hardware.
The feature works by cropping slightly into the sensor and shifting the frame in real time to compensate for hand movement. This crop is why footage can look tighter or slightly softer once stabilization is active, especially in low light where the sensor already struggles with exposure.
Stabilization only applies to the main camera. Switching to an ultra-wide or telephoto lens, or to the front camera, records without this correction, which explains why shake suddenly reappears after a lens switch mid-recording.
To change the setting, open Tap on Camera ➔ Tap on Settings ➔ Enable or disable Video stabilization. Turn it off if you prefer the full sensor view for tripod shots, professional pans, or when using a gimbal that already handles stabilization mechanically.
Leave it enabled for handheld everyday clips, walking shots, or vlogging, where the correction noticeably reduces micro-jitter without much visible cropping.
