meh, i'm not as impressed as i was days ago. i did some 720 and 1080 tests; 720 looks like kinda crappy on the pc and pixelates easily, and 1080 looks better...720 is nice because it's 60fps, though. (actually, this is what i was told..and 720 looks smoother....buuuuuut in windows, ti still says my 720 videos are 30fps?! wtf? any ideas anyone?)
recorded some guitar videos; the video looks good, but the audio is GOD AWFUL. it encodes at 128kbps; that's absolte ****. i set the videos to mono, so maybe that has something to do with it, but idk.
either way, there's random clicks and pops and the frequency of the audio continuously changes, making it sounds like complete ass and there being no consistant guitar tone in it.
then again, this is just a phone that can also make videos, so who am i to complain? lol

11/21 Vids (i have a feeling this mic just can't handle lows well, so when certain low freqs hit, something is messing up and making that squink noise. i guess my drums aren't hitting that low of a freq that my bass cab (which is four 15 inch speakers) and my guitar cab (four 12 inch speakers) are apparently throwing out.)

honestly, the quality of the audio is really starting to piss me off. 128kbps is NOT ENOUGH for a camera to encode audio, damnit! time to continue with my open ticket to HTC about their ****ty audio.
overall, the audio is INCREDIBLY disappointing. why do they make high quality video, with such ****ty audio? i guess they figure the public doesn't know the difference between 128kbps and 320, which is kind of lame. oh well. guess i'll continue to use my crappy $40 kodak waterproof 720p camera for guitar vids lol
i propose that somehow, app devs or regular devs, we should all look into making the audio record at a higher quality. for example, built in voice memo records at like 96kbps..which is awful. tape recorder, a free app, can record up to 320mbps, which is MUCH better. there's gotta be a way to change that in the built in camera app, or maybe a new app that utilizies 1080p video and can record at a higher bitrate!
the problem with the pixelation is the intense hand movements with the guitar are too much for the phone not to mention the awesomeness of the sound being produced by the guitar is also too much for the phone to handle.
i have not checked out the other videos(just the guitar ones) so no comment on those.
รด_o
hahahahaha now THAT'S a response i can live with
when you watch the 720p outside dog videos, you'll notice some colors seem to "lump" together and pixelate.
did you hear how it sounds like there's a phasing effect on the guitar videos' audio? sounds like it's phasing in and out of diff frequencies. i wonder, maybe this built in mic just can't handle loud volumes..but at the same time, that amp wasn't THAT loud :\
Your phone isn't meant to replace a high end video camera, lol. I have a ContourGPS race camera that I used all the time. The 720p was capable of 60fps and a wider angle than 1080p so I almost never used 1080p.
I forgot I had the mic sensors turned down, so if you actually want to watch the video put the volume up lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM2iPxNem0k
damn i think they came out pretty good. I havent check out the video cam yet...sweet dog too....I rescued a Lab/Rhodesian RidgeBack last year...
And don't even try recording on a high volume environment like a club. Sound really bad. Distorted. NOKIA n9 and iPhone 4 even wp7 sound from videos way way better quality. Every htc phone I owned sound from videos its been crap
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
yeah, it's because the mic's are too sensitive and they record at suhc a low bitrate. my amp wasn't that loud, and there's serious frequency issues, it's like constantly readjusting to the frequency, even though my guitar tone/freq isn't changing.
etiher way i don't expect it to replace high end, but i do expect it to replace low end. my kodak is a cheap 40 dollar 720p crappy little camera, which records much better audio, but ****ty video...if you watch a few of my videos on there, i've done them with that camera, and you can hear how the audio is exponentially better, even though it's still crap.
in a phone where AUDIO IS THE SELLING POINT, why teh F would HTC screw this up so damn bad for the video camera? that's what pisses me off.

Yep, 04 Cobra, just traded it 3 weeks ago, I blew out all my control arm bushings that day, it was too hot to race on the setup I had. That was my 3rd heat, which is why you see me lose the rear end on the 2nd lap around turn 11.
But, even the mics on that camera suck ass. They positioned them on the front of the body, so exterior videos sound like **** without the sensor turned way down. I wouldn't expect a phone to be any better than a camera that is made specifically for high wind high volume sports.

Only thing I can think is what you should already know being a musician! Fabricate some sort of insulating piece that can cover the mic. I just realized this phone doesn't have noise cancelling mics. The X2 had 3 mics.
wait, it doesn't? i thought it had 2 mics too?

"Granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should"
hahahahaaha ok vin diesel
lol, was my first time ever on a road course and had no instructor to tell me what was up, I had only ever Auto-x and Drag raced prior... But I wasn't RPM matching, and that the issue initially, the bushings were all shot by that heat, there was no coming back for it. Double clutching is unnecessary.
added a couple more videos to OP; these ones are just video quality...turned sound off, and synced up with sound i recorded on my PC throuhg my usb guitar port. synced them together, so the audio/video sync isn't perfect
Dude, you are good as ****! lol I am JUST learning how to play. Bought my girl a guitar for Christmas too.
haha thanks man, i've been playing for like 11 years now lol..
what kinda gear do you have? what kind did ya get her?
know what else i noticed?
slow mo feature randomly just freezes up for a second and then starts again..i thought it was just how the video was on the phone, but nope, it's even on youtube...watch, you'll see what i mean. it's going along..just freezes for a sec or two..then starts again. ugh.
Just an Epiphone Special-II GT. I got her a Fender Acoustic, she is more serious about learning than I am lol.
I am trying the slow mo feature right now, I wonder if maybe it is the SD card Read/Write speed?

Mine skipped on me too in 720p.
Seeing some posts about which has a better camera here is a picture at 100% crop, left is GS3 and right is DNA. What do you think?

The color of the sky shows the most distinction. Clear blue vs. greyish.
True but the building looks less washed out and richer on the DNA.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
That is a great comparision. Thanks. Both look good. GS3 looks a tad better.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
The GS3 definitely looks better. More accurate colors, better exposure, and higher detail on fine lines and text.
Some comparisons
Some people didn't like my review of the DNA saying that I was too harsh on the 1080p 440ppi display. How could it possibly be worse than the 720p S3 panel? Well, I think these will speak for themselves:
First a short video shot by an iPhone 4S...DNA vs S3 playing Underworld Awakening. It's a bit hard to show how much the S3 dominates because it's a video of video playback, but the most accurate part is when Selene and Michael are kissing. You can see the skin tone is MUCH better:
http://db.tt/Z597Hcuc
Then the friend with the iPhone 4S and I went out and took some shots. He's taller than me, so the angles are a bit off, but you get the idea. 4S is on the left, DNA on the right:

As you can clearly see, the DNA gets smoked when it comes to color and brightness. Either I have a bad panel or sensor or this camera/video playback is just simply inferior right out the box.

First images the big difference is white balance easy to fix. Both images need adjustment.
Second set of images yes the Iphone is brighter. But its to bright the highlights are all blown. From the view point of post processing the DNA image has better shadow detail and high lights are properly exposed. You can not fix what is not there. There for you can not restore the lost high light detail in the Iphone images. And again both images need white balance adjustments.
Oh and by the way pixel peeping cell phone images is stupid. They are just snapshots. 99 percent of them are going to end up at 72 DPI with heavy JPG compression for web posting anyway, Or worse yet slapped with canned Instagram filters.
Tbh both look **** but that is every Camera Phone out there until they make the Galaxy Camera into a Phone.
I wouldn't look at either of them on their own in a pic on facebook and call out the colours or picture quality......... it is what it is, a picture take from a phone.
People love to make a big deal about it, I'm not ever going to own a GS3 or a Droid DNA but tbh :\ Both look the same to me in terms of quality.

On the video the Droid DNA reflects so much light, though Samsung devices have always been on the lowest side of reflecting light, only just beaten now by the iPhone 5.
In pictures (I haven't read your post so I dunno which is which) the one on the right look a lot better.
FIXED!!!!
I saw a post about Camera 360 Ultimate after I posted my shots. This 3rd party app COMPLETELY fixed this issues. The default camera software absolutely blows. I purchased Camera ZOOM FX a long time ago and installed it. Again, the issues are all gone. Do NOT use the default camera.
I also resolved the video playback issue with the 3rd party app called MX player. Under settings, I checked all the boxes under hardware decoding, changed CPU core limit to 4, changed Color depth to 32-bit, and then after the movie started playing I turned the brightness all the way up. I'm not sure if all those steps are necessary, but it fixed ALL my complaints regarding video playback on the DNA.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo much happier with my phone choice now!!!!
the dna colors look more realistic in the photos. the iphone is way too bright and white. and i cant wait to try the dna! the rezound camera was the best out then and hope the dna to be the same!
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the LG G6 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I did a few sample videos with the different quality settings and WOAH!!! Especially the videos at 60fps with adequate light from a lamp. When a lot of light it's even smoother when I figured it could not be smoother. Nothing like it. Heck, video of hands looks better than real life and you could see every piece of detail in the skin easily. But I am a photographer so am good with taking photos and have very still hands, so others experience might be a bit different from mine.
Looked great in a well-lit environment as stated above. Had a lot of noise in a darker environment, but not so much as to render it unusable. Someone that does a better job of holding the camera steady and framing the video might have a better result though.
Anyone tried the audio/video quality in loud environments such as discos, festivals , concerts ...?
Very interesting in this feature .
Thanks in advance

Here is a link to a song I recorded at a Ghost/Iron Maiden song. I forgot to put it on concert mode and left it on normal . Here is a link to a video I recorded later in the show as well, still processing so I don't think YouTube will have it in HAD for a while .

Here is the night video, I think I remembered to switch to 4k.
Very poor audio quality
https://www.instagram.com/p/BVQUqvHhw9h/
good video
Is it just me or is the video quality really bad? Full HD videos are not sharp/crisp at all and there's a slight painted/blurry look to frames, even in moderately good sunny conditions.
This is more apparent with the wide angle lens but the normal lens has this too. I tried shooting with the GCam app and the normal lens video is worse than the stock app. Video Stabilisation is on. 4k videos are pretty sharp but Full HD is my preferred choice.
Anyone know any settings that could be changed to fix this?
Ok guys, this is my try. First and last part of video is recorded with LG G6, 1080p 60fps on DJI Osmo Mobile. It's not bad at all. Sharpness and crispness is better on 1080p 30fps but I needed slowmo. In manual mode you have much more control but it's OK even in auto mode. What do You think?

Fun Tip - Add motion blur to the parts where you increased the footage speed to sync up with the music. Will literally make it look 2x better.

Thanks for the tip Gagan. This is my first video in Premiere, after only 30min of tutorials. I'll try that in my next video. Cheers.
Reading posts i must ask, am i the only one who thinks that the quality of video taken with lg g6 camera is terrible and unacceptable, 1080p looks like upscale from 480p and is very overprocessed? i wrote about it to lg and they replied that everything is fine, can't believe it! 1080p video from my old lg g3 was great, g6 sucks more then anything that has ever suck before. is there any way to change it and turn current '1080p' on g6 into real 1080p?
Hello.
Today i have received my s9+. Very good phone but slo motion is very blurry and not sharp

Normal camera works fine
Anyone knows why?

The super slow motion is capped at a max resolution of 720p. It requires alot of processing resources so the imagem quality has to be downgraded in order to record 960 frames in such a short amount of time
Actually it doesn't require a lot of processing resources, just like ARemoji, they just skimped out and gave room for improvement on the Note 9, and or the S10 or whatever they call it.
This is such a lazy reply that i had to stop working, just to reply.... super slow motion as you call it, is just under developed, and wasnt given the time and attention on this phone, much like the lazy front camera which is not even upgraded or new in any meaningful way.

So... Why are you here?
Slow motion is very good. But OP is correct that the quality is very poor. I think this is because the screen resolution is so high that on playback it's just blocky.
What I don't understand is how the videos that are rolling on youtube and the presentation itself was great! The one I shot at home is not acceptable at all.
Anything above 120 Frames per second needs a lot of lighting, and might also flicker with slow lights (like indoor lighting)
It's always best to use sunlight for slow motion like 960 Fps, to get the best shots try filming with lots of sunlight outdoor, the more light the cleaner and better the shots will be.
Well Sunday mothers day in here (UK) will be trying it outdoors and hopefully will be sunny!
I agree. The quality of super slo mo is more like a 240p video! Totally unusable indoors but expected better outdoors in the sun light. The promo videos were fantastic but this is such a disappointment
Just to update everyone, I have tried in very bright sunny conditions and it is fine and acceptable. Yes it could be improved but that's more of a limitation by the technology rather than something Samsung is in control of.
I have done some super slow mo indoor and outdoor....To get good results you need a lot of light. If you don't have additional light when indoors, the quality is average to poor....Outdoor with natural sun light is more then acceptable and high above average. Have tried it on a cloudy day and the quality was just above average
Also samsung probably added noise reduction in Post to the clips used in the ads (to make it look cleaner)
You need perfect lighting situations, it is 720 after all. If the subject you're recording is "close" to the phone it doesn't look AS bad
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Hello,
Very nice shots, smooth. What were your settings?
I personnally did not find the super-steady sharp enough, like if my exynos had a hard time interpolating the frames. Super steady has some kind of grains or pixels things like grain fog that i do not like much.
I prefer by far the use of optical stabilization only, HD 30p or even better with HD 60p.
Be able to go directly from ultra wide to wide, or to zoom, is so nice.
I barely use UHD.

I should have paid attention to my settings at that time. I do like UHD 60FPS more than the non 60FPS as you get a lot less ghosting while panning shots.
Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you though for that shot as I was in the middle of that event, just did some shots and threw that together while sitting down for 2 minutes. If I waited to do it at home later that day I'm sure I would have done a better job on the audio levels and a few cuts.

No pb, thanks for the answear. I feel same about 60p vs 30p ; i'd rather have less ghosting and smoother shooting than stabilization ; that's why i like HD 60p, best of both world when hand held:good:
It is so easy to make a film with a few rushes just on the note10+, i love that editing feature especially with s-pen.
This was shot tonight at an event and I just quickly edited it on my Note 10 Plus 5G while in my car.
Nice, this low light sample is very nice, sharp.
Hello,
Just found out that "adobe RU for samsung" has a video recording feature, with manual settings.
Manual focus seems buggy to me, but the lock exposure is very nice.
Rush are added to gallery, i think there is no need to subscribe with monthly fee.
