Do you have some sort of "auto" setting on? These kinda cameras are suppose to be dummy proof, so you might need to put it in manual mode first.

It might also be in demo mode I believe. The problem is I can see the tab where the setting to turn on the stabilization is but it won’t let me open the tab

Yeah definitely sounds like you need to change a setting, maybe do a fac reset?
