[Q] Video recording focus - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone knows if I could choose a location to focus on when I do video recording? And also, when I'm recording video from a distance, the camera constants shift focus, causing videos to blur on and off.
Is there a fix or any settings that I've gotten wrong? Thanks!

[Q] Full hd video camera's field of view

Why when recording video at Full HD the angle of view changes ?
The higher the video resolution the narrower the field of view becomes.
Of course the lens is prime so is it using only the center of the sensor ?
thanks
zoom - wide
when recording video at 1080p the lens becomes zoom.
when recording video at low resolutions or just using the camera for photos it becomes wide lens.
have you noticed it ?
A thought I made was that because the lens is prime it crops from the center of the sensor for HD video. But what's the reason to do something like this? Easier CPU processing ?
any thoughts ?
And talking about the video ...
Is there a possibility (mod or app) to record video with the screen off ???
camera noise
I don't know about the screen but I am glad they silence the camera's shutter sound when the phone is at silent mode with the new official update.
There was someone that enabled a no-zoomed mode in the camera app. But that made you lose 720p recording, as he had to change the 720p mode into 1080p "wide" recording. Maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and has the apk for you.
good idea
Why not recording full hd video at wide and zooming in (like the camera does) when ever you want ... maybe because this means that the phone has to capture video at 8 megapixel and then downgrade it at Full HD. So this must be more CPU demanding.
Probably the phone records video at 1920x1080 using the center of the sensor. Capturing only the center of the sensor does the zoom effect. I cant think another reason why loosing the wide angle.
The narrow field of view is useful in some cases (maybe outside) but recording inside rooms everything is very close...

Camera Focus

I noticed that the Camera doesnt like to focus all the time when taking pictures with the sock camera app. I used different apps and they work fine. But i want to record videos. When doing so the camera goes out of focus alot. Is there any fix or an alternative video recording app with 1080p recording?

[Q] Clicking sound from autofocus?

Does anyone else hear a clicking sound from the autofocus mechanism when using the camera? Whenever the camera focuses, there is at least one click. Occurs a lot with the video camera when panning which requires the autofocus to constantly refocus. It's not loud, but annoying.
This is not an issue when actually recording video as it appears that autofocus is not active while recording.
I don't have my Rezound yet, but my Desire's camera clicks once in a while when it is shutting down.
yes, that's just the lens moving around. it makes noise.

[Q] Camera Focus possibilities

Hi!
I've been trying to create photos and videos about objects that are close to the camera, but the phone always focuses on the background.
Are there any way to get manual focus? (Set lenses manually) - maybe from another device/rom?
I know, there is a touch to focus in photo mode, can be usefull sometimes but not perfect.
If no chance to manual focus, how can I use the Touch To Focus option while video recording? - That can't be hardware limitation, as we can use it in photo mode.
Thanks.
I use single auto focus while shooting video, works quite well for me...

Any app exist to adjust exposure in video call.? (in whatsapp, imo etc)

video call in low light situation is painful when my Gnex has no front flash. is there any app or mod to adjust the exposure level in video call.?
I did not find any app which helps you to adjust exposure in video calls. The only way is you can adjust the webcam video setting properly to get better video results. When you are using Skype for video calling, then you go to Tools>Options>Video Settings. In video setting you have an option to watch video preview and adjust color, brightness, exposure and other elements.
I think many users will really appreciate it
Video quality in video calls are very low
