The Jerking only happen when video mode happen on all setting 1080p,720p,360p. So I guess someone really happen in the hardware itself. Yes I tried touch screen zoom in this video and also volume button in the middle of the video. Both having the jerking 2 to 3 times starting from 1/3 of the zooming.

Zoom function is work perfectly find on photo taking mode tested on 8mp 5mp 2mp.

I have taken a sample here

I don't think its normal to have the jerk. Is my set having problem?

 That looks fairly normal to me. The same effect is apparent on my N8. This is caused by the fact it uses digital zoom rather than optical zoom.

Im using the official original camera apps. Nokia 808 is not support to use digital zoom in the first place. Why there is no offical article or stuff saying Nokia 808 will be using Digital Zoom too.

ok maybe the video looks smooth in the first half of the video. Ignore the voice it may be annoying...
Try look closely at 1min onwards. Its clearly show the jerking of the video. I promise is not my handshake or I trying to be funny. Im thinking is the mechanism(while switching focus) thats causing it to shake but this is tooooooooooooooo much of a shake.
It will really spoil my video footage like this.
Video taken in 1080p. AND this is not a adobe flash player problem that you are watching in the youtube video.

correction** Nokia is not suppose to use digital zoom in the first place.

On an 808 Pureview Camera ALL Zoom functionality is Digital.  There is a one element movable lens but this is solely used for focus.

ok guys. I had sent my set to Nokia service centre for repaired. It factory reset everything and upgrade to FP2. Now the camera looks smoother I notice video stablisations 'on' will cause the shaking of video zoom.

On video mode ,the jerking problem is back.

To fix the problem I try to go to picture mode and off the stablisation and test swype the zoom afew times and back to video mode the problem is gone.

So the problem is:

It will jerk everytime I try to zoom in video mode. Picture mode not so obvious since it zoom very fast and don't takes video. Only video mode will be affected.

temporary solution found

go to picture mode and off the stablisation and test swype the zoom afew times and back to video mode the problem is gone for a while.

If i try to use the zoom often like 30times or more, somehow it triggle it to cause the jerking and have to disable stablisation and go picture mode and swype zooming afew times which somehow will recover from the unstable zooming. back to video mode and test it should be ok now.

Is anyone out there having the same issue too?

Yes, the video stabilisation is **bleep**, always have it "off", I bet this apply for all phones, I had a Sony Acro S for a while, same problem there when stabilisation "on"...just drink more vodka and you will be more stabile while filming.....

[zlebronjames]

this is not a solution. I need a answer from the nokia rep.

[joe808]

Yeah, i've experienced the same problem. I thought its only me
Glad you also having the same issue. But as written above, i tried switching off the stabilization and then the zooming in video is quite smooth compared to the one with stabilization on.
