Stabalisation in Cinema Pro

Question for Sony mods

I use Cinema Pro a great deal, but what I wish to know is, has Sony purposely turned off Stabalisation on this app, as its expected to have a gimbal when using this?

BTW in the normal camera app and if i switch to h.265 for some reason (even though the h. is render and compression type) it stabalises even better.

Any ideas?

You can turn stabilization on or off for each lens at lens selection.

On the lens selection drop-down, you will see in top right of the box: " stabilization ON / OFF

Thank you for the headsup

Agreed, however which stabalisation is it, OIS, EIS OR OIS+EIS has it doesnt seem to do the job very well.

Stabalisation is much better on the normal app.

Not having a moan, I love my sony phone but these little things I would like to know so I can work around them until a software update is available.

It's EIS only in CP. Stabilization ruins the details in video. If you really need quality video I would advise you to use some stabiliazation device instead. Or better yet buy a proper camcoder.

Stabilisation is disabled for cinema pro, just need a gimbal for it. Probably a osmo m3

It's not disabled. you can turn it on or off within the lens selection. It's only a subtle stabilisation, so best to use a gimbal for super steady footage.

Here is the low-down of the stablity issue.

In cinema Pro even if you have stability on its EIS only as if you use hte samer res in the normal app the same thing happens 

Cinema PRO HDR LUT and differning exposure shutter settings. HVEC 2.5

at 1080p ONLY and with NO HDR in normal camera app stability is ROCK solid

As soon as you put HDR on even in 1080p the OIS doesnot work correctly

So to show OIS WORKD on 1080p when HDR is enabled it gets a touch worse,.....HOWEVER ON ANY RESolution after that in both apps stability goes to EIS only on ANY LENSE even the main one! Therefore doesnt work at 4k and 4k HDR
