Hi I dont know how many of you know, but there is an app in the Playstore its called Fastburst camera it takes burst pics very vary fast. its not full 8 megapixel but it takes very clear Pics.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite
The Note already can take 2 megapixel pics at 30 frames per second - use video mode with the highest resolution (1080p). You can grab individual frames from the video if you want a still pic.
The app description says it only can do 30 frames per sec with some cameras - but it may only be able to do 5-10. I also see some user reviews that say it doesn't support the flash, which you can use in the stock video mode.
If Fastburst can take 30 frames per second at a higher resolution than 1080p, then it would be something to look into, but the app description doesn't mention resolution. Can you verify the size of the pics you get from it?

800x480 max, 100 photos in 6 seconds on GingerBread, 1.566 Ghz interactive
Then using the built-in HD video mode would be much better.

Freeze it where u want it and then snap a screenshot?
All video editing software, and some video players will allow you to export individual frames.
Sony Frame grabber works great for choosing a good still from1080p recordings.

You definitely don't want to do a screen grab, as someone mentioned above. There's a high chance you won't preserve the original picture resolution. The app Darious posted is a good solution from the looks of it, haven't tried it yet. It says it does an actual frame grab at the original resolution.

Is there a way to take slow-motion video with the Vibrant camera? I know that the droid-X has one but i cant find a port or anything that will work on the vibrant.
so if anyone knows if there is either a port of the Droid X camera or maybe a slow-motion app I would appreciate it.

The way most consumer digital cameras do slow-motion video (and video at all) is to record many different frames on the camera's CCD chip. The Vibrant's CCD, for example, can take 2560x1920 still images. It also records 1280x720 video at 30fps. To do this, it puts 4 different frames on the CCD, one after another. (1280 times 2 is 2560, so you can fit two frames across and two frames down, so that's 4 images on the CCD at once.)
To do slow-motion video, you just need to subdivide the CCD even further to fit more frames on it. This is why cameras that support slow-motion video record it in lower resolution--you're not really speeding up capture so much as stuffing more frames on a single CCD, which has limits in how quickly it can refresh.
On the Vibrant, you could theoretically do 120fps in 640x480 resolution by subdividing the CCD into a 4x4 grid (instead of the 2x2 is uses to do 720p 30fps). This gives 4 times as many frames per CCD refresh, which means 120fps. (Or you could do 720x640 at 60fps by subdividing into a 4x2 grid--half the pixels of a 1280x720 at twice the frame rate.)
Are the camera hardware drivers open source? My knowledge of Android stops at the API--I've never done any low-level device driver programming. If you can get the camera driver source, this should be possible. But I have no idea how difficult it would be.
(I'd love to see this feature, though--I found this thread searching around to see if anyone had done it already.)
Bump. I'm assuming this is a development dead end until we get the camera driver source...but it'd still be awesome to have this feature on more Android devices.
chuckbass... what you says is no sense, forgive me, but that isn't the way slow motion works, if there is a way to get a frame from an area of the ccd and subdivide in 2x2 you will get 4 incoherent images cos each will be sepparated by half resolution
Slowmotion it's dependant on how fast you can get the whole frame from the CCD, resize, apply some compresion or not, and store
in this part the RAM memory has a vital role
the proccess is:
1) get the whole frame from ccd, it's can be done by api's, but I think may be slow, but you need to test first, but through apis is more compatible
2) resize the frame, at least you can get a resized by hardware image, I think through apis the cdd can return an jpg
3) store to ram in raw mode or the jpg
repeat at fast the cpu can until fill the reserved ram
this may works to do a burst slow motion for a few second but very fast frame rate
another ways is to apply an algorithm and store in ram just if it's necesary but better to store directly into a fast SD memory to record continuously, here you can do test to find the max memory you can store to SD and maybe not using compression but just store in raw mode (like a bmp, or rle bmp)
there is no relation with resolution/frame rate and how much slowmotion you can do
I mean, if you can record [email protected] that doesn't necessary means a [email protected]
samsung omnia i900 can get arround 120 fps in 320x240 in a low bitrate video, works fine with good light, and [email protected]
Galaxy S can record [email protected], but has a better cpu and gpu
It's depends on cpu power, and/or gpu (and not in MHz)
I don't know about android programming, and just a few useless things in winmo, but I'm glad if I can help with anything
it's seems that not much ppl is interested on slowmotion, funny, cos is a very nice feature!
if there slowmotion in galaxy S or optimus 3D I will buy, but for now I will get a Casio EX-F100 and a Nintendo 3DS soon
Hi all, I have a mod for the Potatoman/hyperX hack, which solves the 'camcorder zoomed-in at 1080p' problem, and also allows zooming at 1080p...
Because it's my first post here, I can't add a link to a new apk on the dev thread...admins, is it possible to get permission to do so?
Why don't you just paste the text for the link but with a few spaces then? It's not like people don't recognise links here just because there's a space.
Also, can't you just attach it to your post?
Sure
Download/install.
Choose 1280x720 for resolution...shoot/zoom/record etc.
Now check the properties of your recorded file...
The only catch at this stage is you lose the original 720p functionality, which wouldn't be hard to add back in with more work. Also note I'm currently using the 'super high-bitrate' settings for both the original 1080p(zoomed) mode, and this new one. I haven't had a chance to test those bitrates myself under difficult rendering conditions (daylight, detailed moving foliage/city scene etc) for stability, so can't make any guarantees in that respect.
A few commenters have mentioned being willing to donate to have this functionality, and I happen to be exceedingly broke atm Not sure if my paypal link appears yet, but any contributions would be much appreciated!
Neato burrito, but I'd like to keep my 720p functionality too. Hmm not paying for small functions like this.
Uncrippling the sgs2's fixed 2.0x zoom ratio at 1080p is a small function?

You not just taking the 720p version and resizing are you?
+ the sensor in not capable of zooming in 1080p (sensor crop) as there are no more devisions for pixel binning. So this is a digital zoom?
Post any video links as examples?
I'm sorry to say that this mod is upscaling from 720p (that you have to use to use the 1080p mod) to 1080p when you use this mod.
So the videos looks way worser than my true 1080p movies that i have recorded with my Galaxy S II.
So yeah, the mod doesn't work.
EDIT: Hold on, i'm gonna upload a short video clip to show you the difference.
EDIT 2: Here is the true 1080p recording i did on my Galaxy S II one and a half month ago. This video clip is taking 145 MB and lasts for 1 minute. Just right-click on the link and choose 'Save as'.
And here is the "fake 1080p" recording with the mod from this topic. This video clip is taking 36.5 MB and lasts for 15 seconds. Just right-click on the link and choose 'Save as' here to.

Thanks for that!
I do think the OP should mention the simple resize of 720 as not to mislead people. Especially if donations are being asked for!
Yes, you're right, deanwray and Tom-Helge.
Did some testing of my own earlier...
Ah well, was excited there for a bit.
Interesting the encoder can do different res to file on the fly, which might be useful for something or another...but that's about it.
DO NOT DONATE!

Didn't actually realise you were asking for donation for something you had not done!!!
wow!!!
I've looked quite a bit through all the forums looking for information on picture size on the Lumia 800. A 8MP camera should produce about 8 millions of pixels.
I have taken 4 pictures, all of them using the 4 different resolution options.
8MP = 718 x 538
7MP =717 x 403
3MP =718 x 539
2MP =718 x 404
Obviously, if I want a better-sized picture (resolution-wise), I have to choose 3MP which gives 718 x 539 (0.4MP).
Oh wait, isin't supposed to be a 8MP camera, which would give me roughly 20 times the resolution I have now?
Perhaps I'm missing something?
Thats odd. How do you see those pixel sizes.?
When I sync the pics to my pc through Zune they are all around 3200x2500px. I think You someow see the thumbnail sizes or maybe the SkyDrive Camera roll images which are downsized before upload...

Thanks for the quick 'wake up, you got it all wrong'
Ohhh, now I understand...
Then Skydrive does not really 'backup' your pictures at full definition... It's only a quick preview of the picture. I learn something new everyday!
Any way to activate the automatic transfer of the pictures taken with the camera (full sized on Skydrive) ? Seems odd to me that this option only sends a preview, not a full resolution version?
Yes this is really stupid done from microsoft. You cant upload the full image from your phone to skydrive. it will resize it when uploading.
Sucks big time and the skydrive got useless when you cant upload image in full size directly from the phone.
I have stopped use skydrive and now use Boxfiles for dropbox. Not fully automatic but you get the full image uploaded.

I noticed that a regular picture taken with the Galaxy SII camera is in the 2 - 4 MB size range, but using panorama mode generates an image which is in the 600 - 800KB range.
I'd like my panoramas to be of higher quality, and I don't see any settings (like the ones afforded for regular pics) for the panorama mode. Can this be changed?
I'm running Task's AOKP rom from 11/9.
Thanks!
you must install other apps in playstore.
I think the panorama feature captures the image as a video, which would result in lower quality and resolution. You can try using other apps. DMD Panorama (com.dermandar.panorama) is nice and works well.
The panorama is just a cropped version of the available screen, hence it has less pixels and therefore less data and a smaller file size.

This makes sense - I'll give that app a go. Thanks for your responses. :good:
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!
