I, for one, was very impressed by the 'photography' capabilities of the TP recently discussed, but it made me even more curious to know about 'video'. Just ran across a 1080p recording on Youtube. I cannot post the link (too new here), but check the channel for 'ASUSNordicAB'

Yea, just made the 1000 posts full
Though you have mentioned the video over here but still this is quite difficult to determine how would be the actual performance.

I agree that this video is not a perfect test, nor is it one being done by an average guy in his home/yard, but to my (undiscerning) eye, it is very impressive for clarity, frame rate, color, and effects. Since this video was released, here is what some of the other sites are saying:
http://androidcommunity.com/transformer-prime-1080p-camera-gets-a-look-at-segways-and-fashion-models-20111129/
"The 8MP 1080p camera is will also meet or beat just about any tablet out there, and the manufacturer aims to prove it with their latest YouTube video. Compare this with the impressive still images already released....An Asus demonstrator walks around the trade floor showing off the 1080p recording, as well as the standard color filters. Though the Transformer Prime isn’t launching with Ice Cream Sandwich, it will include its own video tools, including an interesting time lapse mode that takes one photo every ten seconds."
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/asus-transformer-primes-camera-demonstrated/
"Everything is shot in 1080p at 30 FPS (frames per second) and looks extremely sharp not to mention there were no signs of frames dropping. However the tablet wasn’t shooting in difficult conditions so it’s not exactly the best way to judge its capabilities. But for what it’s worth, it does perform well with adequate lighting."
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus-Transformer-Prime-Camera-Put-to-the-Test-237339.shtml
"The whole video is shot in 1080p at 30fps and the image looks really crisp (at about the same level as some budget Full HD video cameras we would say) with no signs of frames being dropped. Lighting also wasn't ideal as the video was shot indoors, so this is another plus for the Transformer Prime."
The video definitely seems to look good. I am curious how good the audio that goes with it is though

We had our first "real" snowfall on friday night, so saturday the family went out sledding in our neighborhood. I grabbed the prime as i walked out to record some video. I took about 8 videos ranging from 15-60 seconds, 1080p, no settings changed.
I tried to play them today, and discovered only 2 of 8 videos had any sound. The rest were silent. Video quality was great, but i'm extremely disappointed by the lack of sound.
It's not the playback. I've tried them on the prime, over hdmi, and after transferred to another computer. theres just no audio. I've tried recording a few more videos and have not yet been able to reproduce it. The ONLY thing i can think of is that it was about 25 F outside, but it seems as though the first and last videos i recorded have sound, so i'm not real inclined to blame the temperature.
If you haven't done much video recording with your prime, i urge you to do some tests and see what you find.

I've recorded a few videos with Prime. ON CHRISTMAS of my daughter opening up her presents n stuff and of family. I haven't noticed what you said yet. The video quality was great and was very surprised at how well it picks up sound. It does have a good quality Mic. I initially recorded at 1080P till I realized that would be a waste really if most of my playback is on the prime itself. PRIME can output 1080p to HDMI but plays 720p perfectly on display. You can play a 1080p video on prime with no problem but it won't be true 1080p playback. PLUS 1080P videos take up too much space when recording. 720p looks great n takes up alot less space.
AS far as the issue you had, might of been a glitch or hiccup at that moment. LIKE you said, you haven't been able to reproduce the event. Where the videos that had no sound any longer or shorter than others?
thanks for the response. Point taken on 1080p...i have plenty of space on the prime, and all the larger displays in the house are 1080p so i figured why not. I didn't notice any size anomalies with the vids that had no audio.

I can't believe anyone would use a 10" tablet for taking video. I just use my smartphone...
JUST KIDDING! Seriously, I haven't noticed that issue either, but I haven't taken much video with mine. Let's hope it was just a temporary glitch. Hopefully the video is enough to have captured the moment--those come and go way too quickly.
My kids and I have taken many videos with both the front and back cameras. My kids love the video effects that came with the firmware update. I've not experienced any audio problems.
Are you kidding me? I have taken a lot of video on it and for a tablet, it take AWESOME videos. It handle low light better than cheapo camcorder out there. No sound problems at all.
OP --
Be sure (especially when outside with gloves on) that you're not covering the mic while you're holding it. I did that a few times with leather gloves and it pretty much muted the whole video.
Simple user error on my part, no fault of the tablet.
^^^
Were you taking video in portrait mode? The only way you could cover the mic the way you describe is in portrait mode since the mic is on the top of the device near the cameras. Maybe a snowflake fell on the mic.
Has anyone else noticed that you could use IOS or Steady Shot for stabilization when recording videos? I think that's why people's opinion of how well the camera takes video seems to vary so much (from the reviews I've seen anyway). Also, no reviewer has mentioned anything about the "Steady" feature or which one they used during their video tests.
From the videos I shot so far. Having "Steady" on instead of IOS does a much better job at keeping the footage smoother. Things seem to jump around more with IOS when video is involved. Another thing I noticed is that "Steady" is automatically activated when recording video with the wide lens. There has to be something to that. IOS is more for photos and Steady Shot is to be used more for vidoes perhaps?..
What are the experiences you folks have been having with this?
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the LG G6 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I did a few sample videos with the different quality settings and WOAH!!! Especially the videos at 60fps with adequate light from a lamp. When a lot of light it's even smoother when I figured it could not be smoother. Nothing like it. Heck, video of hands looks better than real life and you could see every piece of detail in the skin easily. But I am a photographer so am good with taking photos and have very still hands, so others experience might be a bit different from mine.
Looked great in a well-lit environment as stated above. Had a lot of noise in a darker environment, but not so much as to render it unusable. Someone that does a better job of holding the camera steady and framing the video might have a better result though.
Anyone tried the audio/video quality in loud environments such as discos, festivals , concerts ...?
Very interesting in this feature .
Thanks in advance

Here is a link to a song I recorded at a Ghost/Iron Maiden song. I forgot to put it on concert mode and left it on normal . Here is a link to a video I recorded later in the show as well, still processing so I don't think YouTube will have it in HAD for a while .

Here is the night video, I think I remembered to switch to 4k.
Very poor audio quality

good video
Is it just me or is the video quality really bad? Full HD videos are not sharp/crisp at all and there's a slight painted/blurry look to frames, even in moderately good sunny conditions.
This is more apparent with the wide angle lens but the normal lens has this too. I tried shooting with the GCam app and the normal lens video is worse than the stock app. Video Stabilisation is on. 4k videos are pretty sharp but Full HD is my preferred choice.
Anyone know any settings that could be changed to fix this?
Ok guys, this is my try. First and last part of video is recorded with LG G6, 1080p 60fps on DJI Osmo Mobile. It's not bad at all. Sharpness and crispness is better on 1080p 30fps but I needed slowmo. In manual mode you have much more control but it's OK even in auto mode. What do You think?

Fun Tip - Add motion blur to the parts where you increased the footage speed to sync up with the music. Will literally make it look 2x better.

Thanks for the tip Gagan. This is my first video in Premiere, after only 30min of tutorials. I'll try that in my next video. Cheers.
Reading posts i must ask, am i the only one who thinks that the quality of video taken with lg g6 camera is terrible and unacceptable, 1080p looks like upscale from 480p and is very overprocessed? i wrote about it to lg and they replied that everything is fine, can't believe it! 1080p video from my old lg g3 was great, g6 sucks more then anything that has ever suck before. is there any way to change it and turn current '1080p' on g6 into real 1080p?
Hello.
Today i have received my s9+. Very good phone but slo motion is very blurry and not sharp
Outside

In my livingroom i cant see anything

Normal camera works fine
Anyone knows why?

The super slow motion is capped at a max resolution of 720p. It requires alot of processing resources so the imagem quality has to be downgraded in order to record 960 frames in such a short amount of time
Actually it doesn't require a lot of processing resources, just like ARemoji, they just skimped out and gave room for improvement on the Note 9, and or the S10 or whatever they call it.
This is such a lazy reply that i had to stop working, just to reply.... super slow motion as you call it, is just under developed, and wasnt given the time and attention on this phone, much like the lazy front camera which is not even upgraded or new in any meaningful way.

So... Why are you here?
Slow motion is very good. But OP is correct that the quality is very poor. I think this is because the screen resolution is so high that on playback it's just blocky.
What I don't understand is how the videos that are rolling on youtube and the presentation itself was great! The one I shot at home is not acceptable at all.
Anything above 120 Frames per second needs a lot of lighting, and might also flicker with slow lights (like indoor lighting)
It's always best to use sunlight for slow motion like 960 Fps, to get the best shots try filming with lots of sunlight outdoor, the more light the cleaner and better the shots will be.
Well Sunday mothers day in here (UK) will be trying it outdoors and hopefully will be sunny!
I agree. The quality of super slo mo is more like a 240p video! Totally unusable indoors but expected better outdoors in the sun light. The promo videos were fantastic but this is such a disappointment
Just to update everyone, I have tried in very bright sunny conditions and it is fine and acceptable. Yes it could be improved but that's more of a limitation by the technology rather than something Samsung is in control of.
I have done some super slow mo indoor and outdoor....To get good results you need a lot of light. If you don't have additional light when indoors, the quality is average to poor....Outdoor with natural sun light is more then acceptable and high above average. Have tried it on a cloudy day and the quality was just above average
Also samsung probably added noise reduction in Post to the clips used in the ads (to make it look cleaner)
You need perfect lighting situations, it is 720 after all. If the subject you're recording is "close" to the phone it doesn't look AS bad
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took.

I quickly shot this and edited it on my Note 10 Plus this morning while at this event w/ the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. I have to say for shooting on a cell phone I'm impressed as all hell.

Hello,
Very nice shots, smooth. What were your settings?
I personnally did not find the super-steady sharp enough, like if my exynos had a hard time interpolating the frames. Super steady has some kind of grains or pixels things like grain fog that i do not like much.
I prefer by far the use of optical stabilization only, HD 30p or even better with HD 60p.
Be able to go directly from ultra wide to wide, or to zoom, is so nice.
I barely use UHD.

I should have paid attention to my settings at that time. I do like UHD 60FPS more than the non 60FPS as you get a lot less ghosting while panning shots.
Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you though for that shot as I was in the middle of that event, just did some shots and threw that together while sitting down for 2 minutes. If I waited to do it at home later that day I'm sure I would have done a better job on the audio levels and a few cuts.

No pb, thanks for the answear. I feel same about 60p vs 30p ; i'd rather have less ghosting and smoother shooting than stabilization ; that's why i like HD 60p, best of both world when hand held:good:
It is so easy to make a film with a few rushes just on the note10+, i love that editing feature especially with s-pen.
This was shot tonight at an event and I just quickly edited it on my Note 10 Plus 5G while in my car.
Nice, this low light sample is very nice, sharp.
Hello,
Just found out that "adobe RU for samsung" has a video recording feature, with manual settings.
Manual focus seems buggy to me, but the lock exposure is very nice.
Rush are added to gallery, i think there is no need to subscribe with monthly fee.
