I have seen a couple of videos on here where they were recorded in slow motion and those videos looked great, however, I have tried a few times and they always come out looking really bad. (grainy, and blurry). I have tried with all the settings left on auto and also setting things up manually as well (like white balance and ISO).
Is there settings that I am missing to make these videos look as good as they do while recording at normal speed?
Here is the link to the video I shot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjcqQhUIJq0
Also does the camera not record in HD while doing Slow Motion?
I can't help you on making it look better but it doesn't record in HD. The ending resolution ends up being 768 x 432.

Yeah I agree and have the same problem. I have a pitbull and an American bulldog and love recording them playing. Nice dog by the way. The only toys I can buy my boys are Kongs like your dog is playing with, the toy they can't destroy.

Really? Maybe I just expected it to look better, but then I found out that it doesn't record in HD. Here is a link from another user who also shot using the Slow Motion feature his looks way better.

It's probably the light. I think the only reason it goes to HD on the youtube video is because the beginning part might be in HD. I still see the grainy lines on the youtube video and in the slow motion videos I shoot.

I think it's HD on YouTube because the user had to edit it on the computer. (Add music) so I think he saved it in a way that YouTube thought it was HD.
I've noticed that I have to edit files in order for YouTube to have a HD option even though the phone records in HD and saves it as a .MP4.

There is a camera setting. If you touch the "A" you will see the option
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Yeah, the camera does not do HD for slow motion, due to the significantly higher data rates the camera must sustain to do slow motion. It's essentially recording at 120fps or so, which is four times the speed it would record at otherwise. To record in HD, it would require four times the bandwidth and processing power that it does at normal speed.
I've had this phone since it came out and never knew it has that setting.
What is "HDR"?

I think the slip and slide video was edited on a computer. Unless the EVO LTE can do the stop motion at the beginning of the video as well.

There are other phones using android that CAN do slow motion HD recording. I assume that this is a software limitation on HTC's part rather than a hardware limitation as the camera on this phone is quite impressive to say the least. Even with my limited knowledge of the inner workings of the android software I would venture to guess that this can at least be brought to 720p slow motion recording. However a speedier SD card may be needed. Man I wish I knew how to dig into Android, I want this camera to be BEAST!

I know in the camcorder menu there is an option for slow motion. But is there an option to make the slow motion slower?
Red.
Unless HTC kept a speed limit on slow motion using software (unlikely without good reason, in my opinion), slow motion is pretty much limited to the speed of the camera itself. The smoothness of the slow motion is pretty impressive for such a small device, that I think the slow motion is as slow as the camera module itself can possibly capture.

Might be able too, but will end up losing quality. Slow motion video is already pretty low quality.
Slow motion works by recording more frames per second and slowing play back down. It would be difficult to say the least to get high quality and a high frame rate.

Spent some time in PA last week and had fun with my new EVO LTE's slow motion video. The intro is using a program called Lapse It Pro, but the phone fell before we finished building the slide. Thought I would show off some creative capabilities of this phone since it's 2.0 aperture lens is why I chose this over all other smart phones.

The slow motion is surprisingly clear. The resolution of mine drops when in slow motion. Is your camera app modified in some way? Was that the stock can app?

How is the HBO's streaming service on your HTC One? For some reason or another, the highest streaming quality I can attain is 480p. Why is this? My Internet is strong, my brother's iPhone outputs 720p, yet I'm stuck with poorer quality.
Can anyone else who has HBO GO comment on the streaming quality on their device? I'd to really like to know if it's an isolated issue or widespread.

I still think we are not going to see "great" night video/picture on any phone for a while yet. We could be two three years away from that imo.
The only way that will happen is if you get a big enough sensor that bulges out of the phone. Like in the case of Nokia builds.

The f2.4 lens can only get so much light. The low light video was sweet in my one, but that's an f2 lens.
The g2 has decent video, but not being able to lock focus and exposure is a really downer. The continuous autofocus kills the videos
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
Both video show a brightly lid night scene but blurry, probably the result of low shutter speed and wide open apertures. If there is some way for people to manually set the shutter speed and aperture or make it less aggressive while taking the video, I am sure everyone will be happy.
Trying lower the brightness setting while taking the of the video might help with higher shutter speed and better focus.
The video that shows the drive through Bangkok's road I am impressed by the stabilisation though. =)

It plays back 4k fine. The problem is the screen is only 1/4 the resolution. There is nothing that can be done when the screen is unable to display 75% of pixels that were recorded. There is no software update in the world that can fix that.
What surprises me is the quality of the sound... For a cell phone mic typically the sound isn't nearly that good. This phone is freaking awesome
