Well, I've had a good look around now and can't find a thing on this so maybe some one can help.
I was at a Rammstein gig the other night and managed to get some awesome video footage.
The only thing that let me down was the auto focus constantly in and out... when it sticks with it..its cristal clear...
looked through the settings, nothing. would be happy with touch to focus, like when taking a pic.
Any thing I can do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
I don't see a way of changing focus on video recording on the stock app, but you can use lgCamera (lgCamcorder) which will let you set fixed focus.

Shame, have taken a look at lgcamera before. Don't think its as nice as the stock.
May I ask why?

Why what? Why Samsung didn't include it in the stock camera app? I think only they know the answer.

No, not why didn't they include it (god only knows why not)
More why can't we "tweak" the apk?
If you turn off full hd 1080p video recording (only use 720p) it doesn't focus in and out like that, and the quality is still very clear
Finaly a workable solution!

Thank you, wasn't aware of this
Will prob use it from now on. Doesn't seem to focus at all. True test will be testing with flashing lights.
Still, no one has managed to answer why we can't mod it?

Hello, exist a way to pause the video-recording and then retake to record? I think that can be very usefull in our HD2. i use a lot this phone to take pictures and video and sometimes when i'm recording i want to pause and start recording again later.
Is there some application or some kind of tweak to make it possible?
Many thanks!

no one interested?
FOr now you can record, stop, continue recording, merge the two movies in movie maker.
Hi
Yeah i think it would be goo idea if we could pause on the htc hd2?
anyway you can tweak that?
thanks in advance
I agree that this would be an awesome idea. that way, it will be like a real video camcorder without the manual edits on a computer!
Someone find a way to develop this1

I think there is
Hi
Is there any way to improve the camera?
Specifically:
- get ~ 30 fps (or anything more than 15) in video mode
- get bigger videos (720x480 would be ok, and I believe that even 720p could be done with the right software and gpu acceleration)
- more vibrant colors en still images
Any idea is welcome
Thank you in advance
+1
I just need the FPS to be increased. All else is make do-able.
Ofcourse any other tweaks would be welcome!

In other thread we discussed this issue, and we found that (apparently) the camera settings are hard-coded in the camera application.
I tried changing the file /data/local.prop and it didn't work
Other possibilities could be to change the /system/build.prop (but probably it will not work)
Or.. get another camera app that doesn't have this limitation
Is there a stock android camera app that can be used?

[like maniac!!]
If anyone manages to find a way to record at 30fps with this phone, then I can finally die happily

Is it confirmed that it runs on LG Op. One?

Just tried it. It installs fine, but crashes when switching to video mode, error when trying to get the preview.

after installing the apk, it replaces the stock camera of the phone?
Or you have that camera application as a replacement?
what's the uninstall process?
I've tried edit local.prop & build.prop with new presets, no success.
LG Camera for GT540 doesn't work on higher res videos even after updating those files

Any progress?
I tried using other apps but the sound is still 8000Hz and crashes all camera apps if i change the setting.
I am ok with the resolution. Its the framerate and sound which i hate...
It takes wonderful videos on my Optimus p509!

Mine takes good videos also, but the sound isn't the best. It is just 8khz!
Hmmm camera improvements for a 3mpx . I don't know , seems useless.
Though a filming improvement would be nice ( from 17 or 18 to 30 ) . Even on my Nokia 5230 with a 2mpx shooter I had 30fps VGA filming

My point exactly. Its not like the Optimus is not powerful enough to record 30 Fps.
And the thing is that its not 18 FPS all out. It drops to 7-8 fps at times. If i can get 24 fps and 22.5k Hz sound at 64 kbps all out i'll be happy. The exposure problems and the dullness of images and such is make do able but low fps and that bad bad sound just ruins it. Videos are totally useless. I dont expect HD quality out of my O1 but cmon. It should atleast do VGA properly.
I believe, that changing build.prop is totally ignored by the camera App. I've tried all possible settings/combinations and nothing changed. There must be some way.
I don't know if it's possible, but I want to record my videos in higher quality. Samsung galaxy ace haven't autoFocus during recording, but if you are taking pictures, it has. So I think that than is basicly possible to have focus on video. So what should I do, what should I have? Does it exist at all?

Known issue been asked many times..Temp fix go to Snapchat settings video quality change it to low reboot and should be fine
I also have this issue.. Unfortunately setting it on low changes the proportions which sucks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Had a dream about this... Try going to camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you

Hey there guys, i have 9.0 pixel experience ROM on my RN4. Camera2api enabled.
I don't know which version of gcam i am currently using but it gives a lot of force close errors and a green tint on front cam too.
I tried a lot of apps to know whether I've a Samsung or Sony sensor in it, but to no avail.
Would you please be so kind as to point me to the best gcam version suitable for my device right now?
Thank you so much kind stranger.

NO FC's, no green tint, portrait works, HDR works for both front and back and you can choose bitrate for video recording, using it for months and never looked back.
To avoid issues first fully remove old gcams you have installed.
Also i recommend flashing this magisk modules: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1RkHruqNGIKnkgfhX0B7BaeEGYc-airBc
It will let you record in [email protected], fixes distorted sound in video recordings and enables 30fps in viewfinder. (it works for Samsung / Sony, not sure about Omnivision)
To check which sensor you have just run some logcat reader, open gcam and shoot few pics, look for sensor info in log.
What is gcam? Can anyone explain.

Gcam stands for Google Camera. That's camera app from Google and it is originally found on Google (Pixel, etc.) devices. However, when using it on other phones, it can significantly improve photo quality in comparison to what stock camera and other available alternatives on the market can achieve. That's because Google Camera relies heavily on "clever" software and superior photo processing algorithms capable of generating and preserving more data. So even hardware-wise "bad cameras" can benefit from using it. Of course there are some downsides as well, since the app is not designed to be run on other - non Google - devices you need modified version of it in order to use it. That said there are many different modifications of said application with variuos degrees of functionality, bugs and stability. You can check most of them collected here.
