Is there any way to rotate the camera orientation when recording video?
Sometimes its just easier to record video with the phone standing up instead of it being sideways. The video comes out sideways when the phone is in upright position. Thank you.

simply don't think it's possible... camera sensor has his own ratio and position in camera.... you can't modifiy it by software...

Why when recording video at Full HD the angle of view changes ?
The higher the video resolution the narrower the field of view becomes.
Of course the lens is prime so is it using only the center of the sensor ?
thanks
zoom - wide
when recording video at 1080p the lens becomes zoom.
when recording video at low resolutions or just using the camera for photos it becomes wide lens.
have you noticed it ?
A thought I made was that because the lens is prime it crops from the center of the sensor for HD video. But what's the reason to do something like this? Easier CPU processing ?
any thoughts ?
And talking about the video ...
Is there a possibility (mod or app) to record video with the screen off ???
camera noise
I don't know about the screen but I am glad they silence the camera's shutter sound when the phone is at silent mode with the new official update.
There was someone that enabled a no-zoomed mode in the camera app. But that made you lose 720p recording, as he had to change the 720p mode into 1080p "wide" recording. Maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and has the apk for you.
good idea
Why not recording full hd video at wide and zooming in (like the camera does) when ever you want ... maybe because this means that the phone has to capture video at 8 megapixel and then downgrade it at Full HD. So this must be more CPU demanding.
Probably the phone records video at 1920x1080 using the center of the sensor. Capturing only the center of the sensor does the zoom effect. I cant think another reason why loosing the wide angle.
The narrow field of view is useful in some cases (maybe outside) but recording inside rooms everything is very close...
One small question please.
Since the camera has a resolution of 3264x2448 is there a way to change the orientation, so as to keep the phone upright while recording in landscape?
Thanks.
hi all,
is there a way to tweak the camera setting so that if i record videos vertically, it'll still capture what it would if you were to hold the phone horizontally? or an app which can enable that??
i'm asking because it's quite annoying when i record a video holding the phone vertically, i have to use a program to rotate the video to watch it upright on my computer...also makes the video weird once i rotate it because the video is now long and skinny instead of wide screen.
i know some of you may say i can just simply hold the phone horizontally...the thing is sometimes i forget and also i find it more comfortable holding the phone vertically.
or is this a physical limitation of the camera lens??
any help would be much appreciated.
If you wanted widescreen in vertical you would need to crop. The sensor is a rectangle, so its not so much the limitation of the lens as its if the sensor. With cropping you lose a lot of detail and resolution. So even if you found an app like that, it would still have to crop.

i seee..so it's a restriction with the hardware.
thank you for the info! appreciate it.
sucks because sometimes when i go to concerts, holding the phone vertically will allow me to record over the person in front of me if they're taller.

Hello guys!
The topic is still actual. The camera sensor is big enough these days to record full HD landscape video while a phone is holding vertically. So, does anyone know a camera app which can do it?
Thanks a lot!
if the sensor is square, its just retarded software that wont simply rotate the image. the only reason this is not the default is greedy shareholders. a rectangular sensor is cheaper than a square one and they dont care about user experience
My last phone had a sweeping panoramic feature as well, but I could capture the photo in portrait mode or landscape, and also sweep right, left, up, or down (though not all in one photo). Any way to do the same on this phone?
Also, how do I stop the photo without sweeping all the way?

I don't know how to stop the recording. This is very annoying because sometimes it doesn't even save the "small" panorama you made but quits with an error message.
Creating a panorama in horizontal is also not possible.
To change the swipe direction open the panorama mode and tap on the icon shown in the middle on the left side. It supports Right->Left, Left->Right, Top->Down and Down->Top.

Coming from the Note series I must admit I was a little disappointed in the panorama function on this phone. The quick and easy fix for me is to use Google's camera app to take panoramic shots.
I have a nasty problem recording video with my samsung devices (seems to be all of them from S3 to my Note 4)
it adds a rotation tag or some sort to the video. if you start a video with an "unclear" orientation (say flat screen up point straight down) this problem becomes apparent.
or if you hold the phone upright portrait and record a video but then turn it landscape it "keeps" the video in portrait for playback (yes this includes once I upload to youtube extremely annoying)
I will record a video normally and it will be "vertical video" (portrait) instead of landscape like I am holding it.
or as with today the video was rotated 180' upside down.
Is there an app I can install that will let me strip/reset this rotation tag so all my videos playback "landscape" proper and not 90' or 180' ? ie let me "correct" the dumb meta tag rotation tag or whatever it is samsung adds to the video causing it to do this.?
