So I was playing around in the camera settings ....
I noticed that the option for "steady recording" is greyed out and/or not selectable for the back camera.
It is an option on the selfie camera.
Anyone come across this?
Ok ..
Just figured it out.
Apparently it's selectable when setting resolution to lower settings.

Correct. You might want to play with using it off in certain situations as I find that sometimes the EIS (Steady recording) and OIS will fight each other.

Okay... seems like a minor issue but it's driving me nuts. I have no idea how long it's been an issue. I just found out today when I needed to take some photos in a quiet setting.
As long as my "Capture Tone" setting in my camera app is checked (allowing the shutter sound) the camera works fine. But when I uncheck it (to silence the shutter sound), the camera will not take a photo. Just in case, I tried in all resolution settings.
When I uncheck that setting and then go touch the "shutter" button to take a photo, it acts like it is trying to take the picture, then makes a strange click that I can actually *feel* in my phone, then it just goes back to the live viewfinder view as if it's ready to take a photo without having taken the photo I just attempted to take!
Then if I go check the "Capture Tone" setting, everything works fine! Any ideas how to resolve this or what may have caused this issue?

That does seem odd. If you're bootloader unlocked with CWM, maybe give the droid 3 camera a shot. The checkbox worked, and took a silent picture for me..
the camera settings in build.prop can be modified, I believe they're towards the bottom. There is a setting for the shutter tone there, I would mess with that. make a backup first.
I dont have this prob on Alien#4, I disabled shutter sound on day one and have taken at least a hundred pics since. Before Alien I had experienced the strange internal click vibration you spoke of, but not since.
Has anyone heard or seen any demos/reviews/preview videos of someone taking a video and re-focusing by touching the screen? Relying on only autofocus on the S2 made many unfocused videos unwatchable.
The One S has it (I played with it), as well as iPhone and the Razr.
YAY! Update:
According to the manual, touch to focus while recording video is confirmed!
5 Select [REC button] to start recording.
●● To change the focus, tap where you want to focus. To
focus on the centre of the screen, select [AF button].
●● To capture an image from the video while recording,
select [STILL SHOT button].
6 Select [REC button] to stop recording.
The video is saved automatically.

Update 2:
On another note, it looks like anti-shake is available for video, too, unless it was a copy/paste mistake from the Photo/Still Camera section of the manual.
Anti-Shake
Activate the anti-shake feature to reduce
blur caused by the device’s vibration or
movement.

On TW ROMs while taking a video? Are we talking ICS? I haven't tried taking a video on a TW ICS ROM yet.
Regarding the S2, I'm not the only one who sees this limitation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541019
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471112
Anyways, I'm concerned because I know stock ICS doesn't do it, so I hope the S3's camera app finally has TOF while videoing.
I flashed to the stock ICS TW ROM and verified that touching the screen while videoing does not allow for Touch-to-Focus, either. There's nothing in the settings to allow it either. When I touch while videoing, it says "Zooming is not supported while recording Full HD Video". When not filming at 1080p, it just zooms instead of focus.
Are you using a custom ROM, 3rd party app, or modified camera.apk?
Yeah I've seen many videos where this was done, Samsung even added automatic face recognition when you take a photo and instantly sends them to all your friends in that photo.
That's all fine and dandy, but sometimes, you want to control where you want to focus. Short of an unfriendly manual focus slider, touch-to-focus is a quick way to kick the focus algorithm in gear.
Relying on the auto focus to adjust itself doesn't work well on the S2. Sometimes it tries to refocus when it's already in focus and everything becomes blurry for the next 2-3 minutes, ruining the video. Happens a lot in low-light conditions (indoor).

lgcamera works flawlessly for this. Bitrate customization, touch to focus etc

Over the weekend playing, I noticed while I was video recording, that I also had a photo icon I could click that would take photos.
Trying it today I don't see that icon anymore.
Must be some setting I changed, but I would like to figure out what that is. Anyone know?

Enabling the Anti-Shake disables the option to take pictures while recording video.
It's greyed out.
I tried almost any imaginable combination... What am I missing?!
Chck out the resolution options. Some options disable the stabilization. I think anything above 1080 60FPS has it disabled.

nope it's greyed out no matter what i select.
I'm on at&t variant.
You have to deselect Tracking AF. Can't have it enabled at the same time as Video Stabilization.
I'm just a girl who doesn't probably doesn't know very much but I was having the same problem. How to enable stabilization? The answer... It doesn't work in QHD and 1:1 resolutions. Ta-daah!

Is that you Ducky?........Australia?
u probably shouldn't enable it, s9 already has a hardware camera stabilizer that works no matter what, if u turn on software stabilization it will warp ur videos or blur them.
u can test this theory out by walking in a straight line the video stabilization off should be more stabilized than the software stabilization.
I can't enable video stabilization. Tracking focus always turned off. Already tried all resolution, but the option still grayed out
*Edit: So it because I put QHD resolution for front facing camera.
Anybody found a good GCam and config file for this phone yet. I'm using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.6 with the lg-g8sx-th config file and it's pretty decent but wondering if there's a better more compatible version.

I've been wondering how gcam works before pulling the trigger. Do you mind elaborating on "pretty decent"? What all works? I like the phone's camera, but I've seen instances in reviews where in auto mode it overexposes the highlights. I'd like a functioning gcam mod for when I don't want to go into manual mode

Sure, I'm by no mean a photo person and everybody have their preferences as far as photo goes but I found that with GCam the colors are more accurate and lighting and exposures looks better in most shots for me.
Downside with this particular version is that some features will crash the app still when you try to use it such as Nightsight and Portrait. It's a hit or miss and I find myself using the default camera app half the time, especially for video. The search continues.
I use a release by Pitbull that works fairly well. The bugs currently are no 4k or 60fps video recording, no video at all on wide lens (without clearing cache first), but no bugs I've found in selfies, portrait mode, or night sight mode. If you toggle the 4k button in the pulldown, the app will crash and no longer open causing you to clear data in storage and perform setup again, same with choosing Camera 3. Latest release does have support for configs though. In settings, sabre has to always be off. If it's on, all photos will crash. Also the option "disable openGL preview" needs to be toggled on to allow night sight to work properly under fixes.

In the screenshots, I circled the important settings. The first one is in main settings screen, the second is under fix settings screen. With these settings, and not choosing 4k or camera 3, app works great, especially photos. If you like gcam for pictures, you will like this one.

Hi, thank you for your recommendation, I just got my new LG v60 and your apk and Screenshot helped me get it working well, I wonder if you have a new version or any new updates on this Gcam for Lg V60
Thanks again.
To the top - trying to see if anyone has had any luck finding something that works decent.
I have tried the 8.x versions from Wichaya, Urnyx, with and without the LG G8(x) configs, to no avail.
The issues range from images saved as a corrupt file, to random blotches of red appearing in the photos, viewfinder getting locked when in Night Sight, and 0.5x camera not being there altogether.
The same thing. A lot of Gcam mods are kind of working on V60 but weird colours here and there is the problem Can't find properly working Gcam mod too.
来自中国的玩家感谢你的分享
Is anyone using any working Gcams for the V60 with configs? I would mainly use it for the front camera.
TIA
