Hello.

I have an iPhone 6S Plus with iOS 13.5.x


Questions:
1.) Does my camera come with any kind of "image stabilization"?


2a.) If so, is that a function of the iPhone 6S Plus's hardware?

2b.) Or is it a function of iOS 13.5.x?

2c.)Or would it be a function of the Camera.app?


3.) Also, is there a way to turn it on and off?


4.) And is there a way to tweak its settings (e.g. increase it or decrease it)?


I just bought Filmic Pro...

5.) If I turn on "Stabilization" in Filmic Pro, how will that interact with any image stabilization from above?

Apple's technical specifications for iPhone 6s Plus seem to say that the Camera has optical image stabilization: https://support.apple.com/kb/SP727

Not clear, some sites say that it does not turn off the hardware OIS, some suggest that it can make a difference but not turn it off completely.

That is probably why I turned OFF "Stabilization" in Filmic Pro...

Although based on our side conversation, I can't imagine things could get any worse than what I experienced with it being tuned off?! *LOL*

I guess I will turn ON Filmic Pro's "Stabilization" until such time as I buy and use a gimbal...
