I have noticed that, when filming in 720p and 1080p, that the video camera has a tendency to lag when panning to the side after it has focused --> After the camera focuses, and I turn the camera to the sides or up/down, it lags for a second, creating a chopping effect (lagging).
I have stock Gingerbread installed on it (it came on it when purchasing the phone), and have not updated to stock ICS yet.
Does anyone else have this, or have noticed this problem? I'd really like to solve this mystery as soon as possible.
Thank you,

Just a suggestion:
Have you already tried to install the S2 Camera update from Samsungs Apps?
This was an update for the camera firmware of the SGS2.
If you have already installed the update, this app will show it right after the installation.
Good luck !
I just updated Samsung Apps, and am now in the program.
I guess this is a known program then, since they have put out an update for the camera...
How do I find the S2 Camera Update?
Thank you for your reply,

you can google for the same r try with Sammobile.com
Lag as you described is not firmware related as I never had it, but you can try.
Also what you can do I'd you are using micro sdcard as storage, change it to internal and check.
Unless issue is frame rates, blur when panning.

Hello, I am really starting to find it annoying how slow the camera is to open, I am not sure whether it is a problem with just me or whether it is a problem with the Sony software.
However, when I open the camera, it sticks on a black screen for a good 4 seconds before actually showing the camera, then when moving the camera around it is really laggy and blurry - with other phones such as any HTC the camera seems really smooth when moving it around.
Does anyone else experience this problem? And does anyone know a fix for it?
I was wondering whether downloading Vignette or something might help?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just tried the Vignette demo and it seems it does not lag, however it does not have a video option and seems a bit over complicated for my simple needs, anyone know any other good camera programs on that market?
I found the camera to be slow as well. I did a lot of tweaking on my phone (root, uninstall timescape, bloatware, enabled JIT) and now the camera and the phone in general is faster.
yes!!! camera is very laggy .... plus my camera button shuts down the camera.apk ....now i can only get a picture using "on screen" clicking option....
[Q]Now why have a camera LED and it does nothing for the camera?...so silly I find
I have done everything rbenz suggested apart from remove TimeScape as I am worried this will conflict when using other apps.
Does anyone know of a decent 3rd party camera application please?
Surely someone has found a decent app, please let me know if you have
me too....when you move the camera while video recording it lags so much and this lag is also seen during playback of the same video,also opening takes years
............
Sorry dude but answer is NO!
No one can't help you and if you wanna understand why then check my post on miniCM treat about SONY CAMERA mystery. You will see no one dare answer my post coz I'm right on it.
There no dev who can deal with the experia and SONY camera.
The whole thing is alien tech and humans can't handle it.
Don't laught ! Jus go and read

Hi
At the moment i'm using the custom rom "MiniCM7-2.2.0" for my X10 Mini.
Well, unfortunately i'm having some issues with the implemented camcorder...
1. The recorded videos are stuttering. I've checked the framerate with the tool GSpot and it says 56 fps. Actually the video should be smooth with that framerate, but for some reason it's still stuttering.
Any solution for that? Would it help to overclock the cpu a bit? If yes, what is the maximum MHz i can choose without destroying my phone?
2. There is another problem with the camcorder:
When i'm recording outside in daylight, the video is much too bright - sometimes the whole screen goes white!
But when i'm recording inside where it's darker then outside, the video is much too dark - i can't barely see anyting on the display...
That also happens when i'm recording outside and then get inside in a darker place (still recording) - suddenly the whole video becomes totally dark - nearly black.
Am i the only person with this problem?
Well, then i tried lgcamera (latest version).
But that camcorder app also doesn't work properly.
As soon as i press the record button, the video freezes (not the app, just the video). All i can see then is a freezed picture. But that only happens on custom roms. I've tried several custom roms (gingerbread and froyo-roms) and several versions of lgcamera, but videorecording always freezes as soon as i press the record button...
Then i tried lgcamera on the 2.1 stock rom.
On the stock rom it doesn't freeze during video recording, but instead the same issues occur like with the implemented video camera in the custom roms: outside the video gets too bright and inside the video gets too dark! Well, at least the videos aren't stuttering on the custom rom using lgcamera...
I've read many times on this forum that people are using lgcamera without any problems on the X10 Mini - even on a custom rom! So how come it isn't working for me?
The only camera that does work properly is the stock camera in the 2.1 stock rom.
But i would like to stay on gingerbread or at least froyo...
Please, can anybody help me with this?

Well buddy.. I've got issues with the camera also.. Tried every app.. and unfortunately every app and setting failed.
centerguy said:
Well, that really sucks
I've just read your post in the CM7-thread (btw. very funny explanation of the camera ).
In that case i'll switch back to the 2.1-stock rom, because i really need/want a good camcorder. And the stock one in the original rom ist just amazing for such a small mobile phone. Continuous auto focus ftw!
Well, thanks anyway for your reply.

Yes you right in 2.1 camera its amazing coz its maked and compiled by aliens.
Yeah my post is funny coz when I wrote it I was 100000% pissed of by the ugly android camera.
Yeah I'm using minicm for cost of my camera but this is coz I have ST15i the x mini next brother of our mini and use its camera for my needs.
I'm much in with cameras I'm amateur photographer ,displays colours , saturation , optics , HD, pixels and so on , all this things its like my seccond nature. That's why I wrote this post there on miniCM treat and like you see no one answer on it.
And in the end its soo strange how devs can port hack make and etc whole OS but when job come to camera its go to dead end.
Only reasonable explanation is Aliens coz only Sony can make this happen.
Wish I had some pall from Sony to ask him to make camera work but I haven't ....

Hi,
Ok, strange title, I admit, bit it describes exactly what problems I am encountering.
My camera app is working fine, but I cannot use camera related apps. I didn't try a lot of apps but the main 2 I want to use (or 1 of both) are Dailyroads Voyager and Autoguard. I want to use my camera as a dashcam. Unfortunately, recording video in these apps won't work. I've tried different options in terms of quality, codecs, resolution, framerates, bitrates,... nothing works. I've also had lengthy mails with the Dailyroads developer, sending him logs. All to no avail.
The standard camera app works flawlessly. I can make vids and pictures no problem at all, 8MP stills and 1080p video. When I flash the photosphere app, it works as expected. Spheres and stills work, for video the sound works but picture is distorted. Which is, as I said, as expected. I've read numerous accounts of the video recording not working.
The strange thing is this only happens on certain ROMs. I've tried Resurrection Remix, and that worked. I then switched to JellyBam (couple of months) where it didn't work. Now in the last couple of days, I tried TurkbeyRom, and hollt [email protected], it worked! However, TurkbeyRom hurts my eyes. Menus are just too 'busy' (can't think of the proper word). So then I switched to SuperNexus since 2 days. Excellent ROM. It improved my battery life with about 1/3rd. But unfortunately, both Dailyroads and Autoguard don't work.
Is there anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody?
Just to add clarification: The apps work, I can go through settings etc, but from the moment I hit the record button, the image freezes and recording fails.
I'm still having this issue. Anyone?

Well i guess it's rom related, because i am using CM 10.1 and a few games aren't working (Dungeons Hunter 4 and other games), but they work on stock rom and some other roms.

I'm afraid it is rom related, but maybe someone knows a fix? It's a bit strange I think that some roms have this problem and others don't. Even stranger is that I can't seem to find anyone else with problems relating to apps using the camra.
So, like the title suggests, i have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my z5c and applied the drm-fix-thingy. I have also for example installed the xposed framework and some modules. Taking photos works and they look fine, but it won't record video. I've tried different apps, resolutions, framerates but neither front nor back camera will record. Sony camera 2.0.0 for example force closes when i try it.
Has anyone faced anything like this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Under my experience the camera doesn't work with xposed installed.
You decide Sony Camera (the google ones works) or xposed.
I tried google camera as well, it also takes photos (like sony's camera) but doesn't record video either :/ says it can't connect to the camera

It works again! Still don't really know what the problem was, i updated my xposed modules and rebooted the phone, now it records just fine... Maybe it just needed the reboot
So i'm running CM 10.2.0-i9300
camera app works fine for photos and video.
recording video also works on instagram and whatsapp app
the problem is when i try to make a video on snapchat... the moment i press the record button the screen appears laggy like is 10fps, and when i release the button the snapchat try to play the video but it is laggy and the colors is messed up (my face looks blue and my eyes yellow).
I tried to low the video quality, force GPU render, force 4xMSAA, and HW overlay
please help.

When did you try out CM13? I'm running it on my PERSONAL phone (which is indeed a i9300). The phone is resonsive and really fast. It used to be slow but now it's fast.
