| Solutions |
| How to Prevent |
Preview clips on set to identify any unintentional camera movements. If footage with unintentional camera movement is identified during offline editorial, consider using an alternate take or flagging for potential correction during online/finishing. |
| How to Fix |
Image stabilization can be used to improve/ minimize unintended camera movement but only if it can be applied without negatively impacting the overall image quality. If the image becomes blurry or warps due to the image stabilization applied, it is more likely preferred to leave the camera bump as is. |
