If, against the expectations, the stabilization result of the video you are using is not optimal, there
are more Stabi-Cams available: Glide Camera and Rock-steady Camera. These have different
presettings and are specialized devices. But if you want your video to resemble a video taken with a
tripod, use the Stabi-Cam Rock-Steady Camera; this camera comes close to the quality of a video
taken with a tripod.
The Stabi-Cam Sports Cam is used if you are recording images with many movements (e.g. an
action-riddled camera drive). Here, only the extreme disquiet in the video will be stabilized.
The Stabi-Cam Forensic Camera stabilizes very strongly to show the differences. This is the general
opportunity to get into the forensic view; here, the correction affected by Mercalli can be better
evaluated by means of the Stabilizr.
We also recommend trying the available Stabi-Cams to find the best stabilization possible. These
Stabi-Cams may create better results than the Stabi-Cam Universal Camera in exceptional
situations. However, these Stabi-Cams are subject to very specific environmental conditions, which,
especially when viewed as a combination, are very complex.
Uses the select virtual Stabi-Cam without further changes. All changes that were made
manually will be discarded.
6.4. Rolling Shutter Compensation
Activation of the rolling shutter compensation
With the activation of the option Rolling Shutter Compensation a possible distortion (only
with CMOS), which can occur in moving pictures (video) can be compensated. This option Rolling
Shutter Compensation is activated by default.
The Rolling shutter effect is an undesired side effect of the so-called CMOS sensors, which are
widely used in digital reflex cameras (DSLRs), pocket cams, mobile radio devices or action cams.
As long as a recording has not been stabilized, the rolling shutter effect is either not or only slightly
noticeable. But as soon as a successful stabilization has taken place during post production, the
rolling shutter effect will remain and will now become slight to significantly annoying.
Therefore, the Stabilizr counteracts this undesired effect on request - because a stabilized recording
will remain worthless, if the undesired consequence effect destroys this result.
Vibrations/Wobbles require an extended CMOS correction in CMOS Fixr.
