Hey Developers, is anyone of you guys a pro when it comes to Camera tweaks ?
Is it possible to write an app which simply locks the brightness for the camera so it doesnt auto adjust itself ? Its too bright in daylight but if you move the camera to a bright spot (like the sky) it adjusts itself so that u can see overbrighted spots suddenly...
Is it possible to program something to control the light sensor ?
Alos, i noticed thta the sound quality in videos is mor worse then in previous models...
I could copy the video onto the computer and fix it via equalizer...
BUT! since the settings are the same for every device, wouldnt it be better to have an app that automatically uses an equalizer with fixed settings on the videos or even change the system so it records with different settings for the sound?
is it possible to fix the video sound while or after recording a video ?
I am interested in the technical possibilities please tell me what you think is or is not possible
wrong place to ask , Q & A section!
lolz this exposure fix ,you are asking for was actually a bug in the lg camera app.the software modifies exposure so that the parts of video which are too bright are not washed away.

Thanks m8 !
So talking about the exposure, is there a way to fix this easily ? my phone will arrive in 2 weeks so i cant try out the integrated options but i watched like every video on youtube and it seems like there is no way to fix that via the built in settings...
was there a fix for the lg cam ?

I tried to record some real time data on some equipment's panel screen today (at work place) using the sgs2 stock camera app video recording..
Many had told me the video recording suppose to have auto focus but the wordings are very blur and I can't identify each words at all during recording and also when playback.
At the end I have to borrow my colleague's iPhone 4 to get the job done, it focus immediately on the screen wordings and appeared clearly..
Normally I never use video recording but now I'm bugged by it lol
Am I doing anything wrong here? I'm using Checkrom 3.1.1 though I doubt they have tweaked anything on the camera app, it looks the same as the stock one.
I noticed while using the camera that there are no controls for contrast, sharpness ..saturation etc. So I decided to download other camera apps and use those functions in them. The only problem is, those controls have no effect on the image. I can adjust them ...say...in Camera360 or lgcamera but nothing happens. I can tell they are not preset values in the apps because say for Contrast, in all apps the contrast shows a value of 5. It can be changed but nothing ever happens. Is there a way to unlock these settings in the kernel maybe? Has anyone messed with this? Im just so used to always having control over these functions on my HTC phones. It seem kind of silly to lock them out on an amazing phone like the GS4
Bumpity....
Nobody knows anything huh?
I don't know about the third party apps but I know different options are available when you set the camera to different modes. Like in the beauty face mode the you can change iso

ISO is normally available in Auto mode as well as Exposure adjustments. But even in the Auto mode, there are none of the adjustments mentioned at the top of this thread. The only thing im really looking to control is contrast.....otherwise I have to edit most of my photos. The images are really good but because of the ultra high contrast preset in the camera, the whites/highlights get easily blown out.
Ahh.. guess not
No biggie I guess. Im not complaining about this phone or camera. Just kinda wish it had access to those controls.
So I just tried some settings in Snap Camera. Brightness, Contrast and Saturation have NO effect on the image at all. And also the Scene modes do absolutely nothing either. Is this some kind of bug with the GS4's camera software? Ive never used a phone and not had half the stuff working in the camera that typically works on other phones.
hello all...
was just wondering if i can lock the focus while shooting in 4k mode ? Coz leaving it on auto in bad light causes blurred videos...
actually...ive noticed u cant lock focus on ALL video modes...!
Is that correct ? Or am i missing something?
I have been annoyed by this too! It's frustrating to have it constantly refocus itself.

Sony needs to rework the entire camera software as alot of stuff are missing and/or needs fixing (i have complete confidence the hardware is top notch...just the softwate quality doesnt quite match it).
Unfortunately for us, a good camera is hardware + software. For Z2 to become a great camera phone (from just a good one) we need:
- ISO preview (you can change it but you can't see the effect on the screen)
- all modes available on 15 and 20 MPx
- better software alltogether
right, so just to confirm and clarify
- there is no way to change how the focus works?
- it can't be set not to refocus every few seconds?
- is there any chance it will ever be fixed in an update, eg. lolipop? Could someone confirm if it isnt already fixed?
To be honest, the video recording is terrible, the image is sharp and blur on and off, making the video unwatcheable and makes the film-watchers question, whether I used my calculator to record a video. This is riduculous with this kind of phone ('best camera phone there is')
Hi,
I also have a Samsung K-Zoom SM-C115 and wanted to know, what is the best Videocamera app where I
can adjust the brightness or contrast in the 1920x1080 video recording modes ?
As the normal camera app has 1080p 30 Hz and 1080p60Hz mode,
I tried to see, how I can optimize these modes., so I can also record in low light conditions
with it, like at a concert or outdoor in the evenings..
Although in picture mode you have a nightshot mode, these are not available in the video modes and
you can not control the video brightness..
So is there any solution for this in maybe a Lollipop ROM version or do you know a videocamera app that
fixes this ?
I have already tried the Apps "A better Camera" and "CameraMX" but both have also problems...
They are able to do realtime video processing during recording so you can brighthen up the
video during recording, but somehow the zoom is then not really working and other bugs...
So is there any other real good solution to this ? Any videocam app that is better than these ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Or is there a Lollipop Android 5.x Rom already out that fixes these camera problems ? Many thanks.
Take a look at Cinema FV-5 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.pro
It has manual controls, and volume rocker can be configured for zoom.
Personally I find the stock app full-auto "good enough" for most of my casual videography.
Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the phone for mainly video recording.
I'd purchase a stabilizer gimbal with the phone, and use it 95% time in wide angle mode to record 4k videos.
As I don't yet have the phone it's hard for me to tell how good it is for that purpose, but I know that i'd definitely need the following things in video mode:
- turn inbuilt stabilizer off
- change exposures
- lock exposure
- manual ISO setting
- manual shutter speed would be nice, but not essential
- manual focus that stays focused on one place
- NO unnecessary focus hunting in automatic mode (God...that ruins so many videos!) - i hope the laser focus works here
These are usually fairly basic requirements for Photography mode, but sometimes they don't include these in video mode.
If they are not built in the default camera app, does other playstore camera app(like "Manual camera") work on the phone with these settings?
I currently have a Moto X Style that I love, but the video features are all automated and many of the above is locked
Thank you all for the answers

So even though there was no answer, I have went to a phone shop and tried it there. I found that in video mode manual settings are not possible at all, which is a big letdown for the G5.
I'm hoping at least that Open camera at least works on it. That should allow manual controls for video too. Has anybody tried it?
Hi!
Open camera is working fine. One of the few apps that also can use the wide angle camera!
When I want to record video with perfect audio I use my zoom h2n recorder as external mic and adjust the audio gain: perfect for rock concerts, etc.
Just buy a USB-C OTG adapter to USB 3.0 (normal size). Then connect the cable from the mic. At last - perfect audio!
the only advanced & working app I've found till date (which can EVEN change options during recording) is Cinema FV-5.
OpenCamera could be used too sometimes, if you dont have something better.
Ive mostly used 3rd party video apps with my G5, instead of the stock camera too, though its hard to find one that will use both lenses.
