 Without this adjustment stabilization will still work, just not as well. GoPro Labs docs say that without it, Hypersmooth is about 70% effective compared to shooting in air. Without this adjustment stabilization will still work, just not as well.

 +- As mentioned above, distortion correction is not calibrated for water reducing stabilization quality
