Not available on moto g stylus - 2026

Your phone automatically senses how you’re moving while filming and fine-tunes the stabilization to keep your footage smooth and sharp. And you can use Horizon Lock for extreme action scenes where you may be rotating up to 360 degrees.

Whether you’re walking, running, or filming from a car or boat, Adaptive Stabilization continuously adjusts to match your movements and deliver the best possible shot.

Adaptive Stabilization is always on, unless you switch to Horizon Lock for extreme action scenes.

For extreme action scene with rotation, like skiing, snowboarding, or mountain biking, to keep your video stabilized, tap to turn Horizon Lock on.
