# automaticallyEnablesStillImageStabilizationWhenAvailable

A Boolean value that indicates whether still image stabilization should be automatically enabled.

```
var automaticallyEnablesStillImageStabilizationWhenAvailable: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

If [`isStillImageStabilizationSupported`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureStillImageOutput/isStillImageStabilizationSupported) returns <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, image stabilization may be applied to reduce blur commonly found in low light photos. When stabilization is enabled, still image captures incur additional latency.

The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> when supported by the input device; otherwise <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

Setting this property throws an exception (<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSExceptionName/invalidArgumentException>) if [`isStillImageStabilizationSupported`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureStillImageOutput/isStillImageStabilizationSupported) returns <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
