It all revolves around\u00a0optical image stabilization (OIS), which is a feature found in many modern smartphones, not just iPhones.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Optical_Image_Stabilization_OIS\"><\/span>What Is Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Optimal image stabilization is a feature\u00a0that aims to stabilize the camera while you snap a photo or record a video.<\/p>\n<p>A camera with OIS has a tiny internal motor inside that physically moves the elements inside the lens. As your hands slightly move or shake while holding the phone, the motors counteract your motion. This results in a smoother video and less blur in photos.<\/p>\n<p>OIS can make a huge difference in photo and video quality. It\u2019s nearly impossible to hold a phone perfectly still with only your hands. The mechanisms that make this possible inside an iPhone or Android camera are remarkably small and delicate. That\u2019s where the risk of damage from vibrations comes into play.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_Vibration_Damage_a_Camera\"><\/span>How Can Vibration Damage a Camera?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-755778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2021-09-17_16-07-48.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"iPhone 13 on a motorcycle\" width=\"650\" height=\"342\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Moving parts are what often lead to failures, especially when it comes to gadgets. A smartphone camera with OIS has several small moving parts inside it, and those parts are delicate. Enough stress on those parts can cause them to fail.<\/p>\n<p>The OIS components need to be free to move around to counteract your movements, which means they aren\u2019t permanently affixed in place. So when you strap the phone to something like a motorcycle, the vibrations can literally shake the camera parts. That repeated movement wears on the camera over time.<\/p>\n<p>This is not something most people need to worry too much about. You\u2019re not going to damage the camera by keeping it in your pocket while running. The vibrations to worry about are from high-power, high-volume engines, like the aforementioned motorcycles.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_I_Do_to_Avoid_Damage\"><\/span>What Can I Do to Avoid Damage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main thing to avoid is extended exposure to these high-amplitude vibrations.
