Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for selecting a cropping area in a sequence of images captured by a camera (302). First external motion data (202) including data of external factors affecting movement of the camera is correlated with internal motion data (204) describing a movement of the camera (302). The first external motion data (202) and the internal motion data (204) are obtained during a first time interval. Second external motion data (208) is obtained during a second time interval subsequent to the first time interval. A sequence of images being captured during a third time interval is stabilized by selecting a cropping area based on the correlation and the second external motion data (208). The cropping area remains constant and maximized in size with respect to the field of view of the images during the third time interval. The third time interval is subsequent to, or partly overlapping with, the second time interval.
