A52s Video Recording wobbly/moving background

[StevDa86]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my A52s when recording videos—it pulsates in certain areas. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but I have an example video where you can see it: Youtube Video 

If you focus on the "Music is good for you" sign on the left, you can see how it keeps wobbling and pulsating. This phenomenon appears directly in the recording, regardless of whether I use 4K, FHD 60, FHD 30, or just HD. It also happens whether stabilization is on or off. And it's not just happening in the Samsung Camera app, but also in my DJI MIMO Camera app. I've tried recording with a tripod, without a tripod, and even with a tripod and gimbal—always the same issue.

I've also tested both the standard video mode and the Pro video mode—same problem. I've fixed the focus, and in Pro mode, I used manual focus with a fixed value—same issue.

I also tried with fixed focus, with different modes. Also disabled the stabilization. Problem stays the same.

This problem occurs even before recording starts, just by looking through the screen. So, I don’t think it’s a performance issue but rather a software bug in the firmware.

I’ve already cleared the app cache and restarted the device.

The firmware version is from February 4, 2025 (Android 14, version 6.1, A528BXXSAGAY2).

Do you have video stabilisation on? If the phone is static but stabilisation is still on, it might try to correct for movement that doesn't exist. Same goes for pro cameras too

Yes i tried it with and without stabilization. The problem is always the same. Also with the wide angle lens (0.5x)

So here's an update on the whole thing. Yesterday I downloaded the Google Camera (GCAM) with A52s config and today I took some recordings with the different lenses. The error does not occur there. The image quality is also better.

So it is due to the Samsung camera app. (and yes, I have already deleted the cache and reset the camera app data).
