EIS not fully working on Pixel 6 about camera HOT 13 OPEN

It seems to be intentional

Gets disabled before recording starts here

Gets re-enabled when recording stops here

What on Earth? Why? That seems odd.

@soupslurpr That code prevents changing the state of the EIS toggle after starting the video. It doesn't disable EIS.

Ah, sorry for misunderstanding that. Is it a bug then that EIS doesn't seem to work when starting the recording? I noticed this too on my Pixel 7

I can confirm that reports look valid. Move the EIS switch to "on" and the field of view narrows to provide the feature's required buffer, and shaking the phone around a bit, the image appears to be stabilized. As soon as recording is enabled though, the video no longer appears to be stabilized, but still has the narrowed field of view.

My first thought is that it could be connected to some kind of logic that may disable EIS if the camera has OIS capability. Of note, Pixel 6 does have OIS on the main lens, but if I remember correctly, not on the wide angle or telephoto (pro model) lenses.

Hey everyone,

We have tried using the official CameraX API for video stabilization on a Pixel 7 device and that doesn't seem to work with the preview as well currently unfortunately. We have reported this issue on the official CameraX Issue Tracker.

Further updates on this issue can be tracked on https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/346692558 until there's any update directly mentioned on this GitHub issue.

Special thanks to @soupslurpr for helping us out with testing with their Pixel 7!
