First introduced to Galaxy mobile phones in 2019, Super Steady offers enhanced video stabilization. With the Galaxy S26 series Samsung added something new that completely changes how your videos look. Available for all the models, Super Steady with horizontal lock makes the experience even better by delivering cinematic stability with consistent framing for videos, even when your camera is turned completely upside down.
Because life doesn’t hold still when you hit record, Super Steady with horizontal lock is an exciting development for when filming on the move or trying to capture a moving subject that can result in shaky frames and distracting movement when you play it back. It’s incredibly helpful for everyday users who want to record smooth videos without the distracting bumps that are so common with action shots, but it’s also a major upgrade for creators capturing intricate moving shots.
To make the magic happen, upgraded Super Steady filming with horizontal lock keeps footage level by using the phone’s gyroscope and accelerometer to calculate the direction of gravity in real time and automatically correct the horizon up to 360 degrees. It’s ideal for capturing fast-moving sports like running, cycling, or skateboarding without distracting tilts or shaking.
To use Super Steady with horizontal lock…. and “lock the horizon straight”, all you need to do is:
- Open Camera and switch to Video mode
- Tap the Super Steady Video icon
- Select Super Steady with horizontal lock
- Record video
Enhanced Super Steady with horizontal lock is one of many camera feature upgrades available on Galaxy S26 series. Users can also try out Enhanced Nightography video for clearer and more vibrant footage. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is Samsung’s first ever device to support APV, a new professional-grade video codec, which is also present in Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra announced during the recent Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. Galaxy S26 Ultra also offers the mobile industry’s first built-in Privacy Display, which must be enabled in settings.
