Camera2 API on FP6 doesn't expose image stabilisation

Help Fairphone 6
1

I’ve been trying to use the Blackmagic Camera app, but the footage comes out shaky because the app has no stabilisation option, even though the FP6 has OIS on both rear cameras and OIS plus EIS on the front.

Checking via adb shell dumpsys media.camera, the Camera2 API reports only OFF for both availableVideoStabilizationModes and availableOpticalStabilization, on every camera ID. The stock Camera app has stabilisation, third-party apps do not.

I remember something similar on an earlier Fairphone (FP4 or FP5, I cannot recall exactly) where the wide camera was not exposed to third-party apps and it was fixed in a later update. So I am hoping this is something that could be looked at here too.

Would it be possible to expose VIDEO_STABILIZATION_MODE_ON (or the newer PREVIEW_STABILIZATION from Android 13) through Camera2?

Thanks!

Who are you asking this? If FP the forum isnt the place to do this.

Support is the only way.

Alright, I’ll try that as well. Last time I had issues with the Camera2 API there was only a forum discussion. I will write to support this time.

I doubt however its up to each user to report to support and when no-one does, sure its a discussion in the forum amongst users only

Last time I did not send any support request. Maybe someone else did :man_shrugging:

This time I sent a message to support myself.
