# AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode

An enumeration of video stabilization modes that capture devices and formats support.

```
enum AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode
```

## Topics

### Stabilization modes

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.off`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/off)

A mode that doesn’t stabilize video capture.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.standard`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/standard)

A mode that uses the standard algorithm.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.cinematic`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/cinematic)

A mode that uses the cinematic stabilization algorithm.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.cinematicExtended`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/cinematicExtended)

A mode that uses the extended cinematic stabilization algorithm.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.previewOptimized`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/previewOptimized)

A mode that uses the preview optimized stabilization algorithm.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.cinematicExtendedEnhanced`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/cinematicExtendedEnhanced)

A mode that stabilizes video using the enhanced extended cinematic stabilization algorithm.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.auto`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/auto)

A mode that indicates the system chooses the most appropriate video stabilization mode for the device and format.

[`AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.lowLatency`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode/lowLatency)

Indicates that video should be stabilized using the low latency stabilization algorithm. Low Latency stabilization has a reduced field of view. Enabling low latency stabilization introduces no additional latency into the video capture pipeline.
