[Q] Video stabilization in ICS ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have question to the ICS users of SGS II.
I found ICS gives you video stabilization - how does it work?
I am not asking about details, but just to get know if it really works and improves smoothness of the recorded movie

Hi, yes it workes pretty good. As i can see it zooms in a litle bit so it can stabalice bcause it dosen't shows the full screen.
Alswo ne is that you have some effects like big eys, small maouth you might know from apples camare app.

Nice, so as I get it you have option to disable it and enable?
Do you have some examples before and after? I cannot find them in YouTube

[Q] Is there any camera app with digital zoom ?

Hey,
as the topic says, i want to know if there is any camera app with zoom. Because the standard semcCamera doesn't support zoom.
I think having no zoom is a bit out of time. My older nokia 6120c had it too so i miss it a bit.
Of course i know that the quality isnt that great when zooming but currently i edit it on the pc.
If anyone has the same problem or a solition -> let me know
thx for reply

yes on market you have Vignette
If you edit in the PC why do you need zoom then? You got in the market, as said, Vignette and Camera Zoom too, both paid apps.
i tried vignette, but it just makes a frame. Not a real zoom on the display, but its okey. Ill try the second one you mentioned.
I edit it on the pc because of having no zoom

How to disable Continuous Focus

Hello,.
we all know Continuous Focus is so good, but sometimes it doesn't work fine
especial when zooming or at night ,.when camera is trying to focus videos is so blury
Is there any way to disable it,.?
This is my 1st post in xda,. hope this is the right place to do
At low light, this is a really annoying thing for me too. Impossible to get a smooth shot of my childrens playing becaus of this
Had the same problem - fixed it by using "lgCamera" - there's a free version in the market. On my i9100 KI3 2.3.5 it stopped the stupid continuous autofocus in 720p and 1080p.
Liked it so much I paid for the full version (no change in autofocus functionality, just wanted to support the dev and get rid of the nag screen!
Free version: https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
I installed lgCameraPro 6.1, still continuous focus is activated , dunno if there is an option to be activated ,
but the application is very nice by the way
maybe firmware version 2.3.3 is the reason
Works with lgcamera on ics, thx guys

on aosp roms we get zero lag shutter so we dont have to deal with this

[Q] Reduce video recording compression?

Hey guys,
I've got an xperia mini on ICS and, although it's not my main phone I still carry it around for it's pure small-factor-size. Just seems to fit anywhere.
The only thing I'm not impressed with is the video recording. It's S**T. Camera capture is pretty decent but the video recording is so blocky and jpegy it looks like its been compressed to play on a calculator. (and yes it is set to high quality in settings)
Now I don't believe this is the best the camera module can do. Is there no kind of app that can capture raw data from the camera and not compress it quite so much?
Am I asking too much?

(Guide) Record better videos with Lenovo A6000 plus!

Don't ignore this post!! Try it! It works wonders!
Hi guys, I am certain everyone is unhappy with the camera quality of Lenovo A6000 plus, otherwise a great phone. Having used LUMIA 920 for 2 years and LUMIA 520 for 6 months, I was very much disappointed with the camera quality of this phone. I was expecting it to be at least on par with the 'just 5MP' camera of 520 but was proven horribly wrong. The case worsens even more if you are running a custom ROM. So loads of searching and trying all available camera apps on the play store I finally got a solution. I want to share it.
First you will have to download this app 'Cinema FV-5'.
The link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.lite&hl=de
This is the lite version. Try it, if you like buy it! (This is not my app by the way, just sharing).
1. Open the app, go to settings. In 'General camcorder settings', uncheck 'focus before capturing', and check 'allow capturing videos without focus', this is necessary for continuous focus during recording.
2. In 'Video' tab, check custom video settings, change the video resolution to 1280x720 16:9, change the FPS to 24 and leave everything else as it is, don't change.
3. On the same page 'Video', touch 'set image parameters', you will now be on viewfinder screen. There decrease sharpness to 0 and hit done.
4. Touch the [AF] icon and change the focus mode to continuous like in the image. And you are done!
You won't believe how much difference it makes even compared to stock Lenovo camera. While the stock Lenovo camera makes jarring and VGA quality videos, this app with these of my settings records much much better videos!
For photos -
For photos, you can use the sibling app 'Camera FV-5', go to settings > photo encoding settings > set image parameters and decrease sharpness to 0.

updated OP. Thanks you liked the trick! Sad that many people only view this thread. I hope they try it. I really want to take out the only shortcoming this phone has!!
I test today this program. The colors are more quality but I did not like focus. Some inscriptions I can't read with this program ,but when I use original is more better.

Did you follow every step mentioned by me? It should give you better results than stock camera any day!! At least on a custom ROM! But I believe it will work just as good on stock rom too cause the video recording in stock rom with stock Camera app pretty much sucks!! By no means it looks 720p 'HD', it feels like VGA at 15fps recording. For better focus you need to pay attention to the first and last instruction in the OP. Have a good luck!
