Most people hold their mobile phones in their hands to record videos - you pull the phone from your pocket, record the video, and the video is ready to share right after recording. But, videos taken with smartphones are subject to many conditions that make taking a high-quality video a significant challenge: A stable video is free of the distraction, so the viewer can focus on the subject of interest. But how does it work?Ī key principle in videography is keeping the camera motion smooth and steady. Fused Video Stabilization delivers highly stable footage with minimal artifacts, and the Pixel 2 is currently rated as the leader in DxO's video ranking (also earning the highest overall rating for a smartphone camera). With the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones, the videos you capture are smoother and clearer than ever before, thanks to our Fused Video Stabilization technique based on both optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS).

One of the most important aspects of current smartphones is easily capturing and sharing videos. Posted by Chia-Kai Liang, Senior Staff Software Engineer and Fuhao Shi, Android Camera Team
