TL;DR
- A software bug involving Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) causes jittery video recording on the Pixel 10 series’ telephoto camera.
- The issue persists across multiple apps, including third-party ones that utilize Google’s EIS API.
- Ironically, the stuttering can be fixed by turning off video stabilization in the Pixel camera app.
The Google Pixel 10 series includes some fantastic smartphones, but they aren’t perfect by any means. The Pixel lineup is infamous for having more than its fair share of bugs, and users must deal with them on new phones while also considering the possibility that it could be a hardware defect. One Reddit user found themselves in this spot when they noticed stuttering when video recording through the 5x telephoto camera. Thankfully, it seems this is a software bug related to EIS, so there’s hope of it being fixed through a software update once Google acknowledges the issue.
