S9 plus 2x optical zoom - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I've had enough of my pixel 2 XL and it's endless issues. Looking at getting the S9 plus but can someone confirm you can use the telephoto lens whilst video recording at 60fps in 1080p or 4k?
Thanks!!

All resolutions support 2x zoom but not on 60 fps.

To clarify, you can use the 2x zoom lens with any resolution and frame rate, but you can't switch between the two lenses during recording at 60fps. If you wanted to use the 2x lens at 60fps, you'd have to switch to it before hitting the record button.

At 60fps mode phone records with standard lens, no matter if you switch to 2x before hitting record button

Is there any apk where I can shoot 60fps full HD with both cameras? I want to use optical zoom at 60fps
thanks

[Q] Panoramic mode

Has anyone tried out panoramic mode on the razr?
just got mine in the uk today and found that it seems to cut off quite a bit off the top and bottom of the pictures in the final picture which has been joined.
this is rather annoying as I expect to get what I see on the screen....
What is the final vertical resolution of a pano photo. With my original SGS it was only using 1.3mp shots and stitching them together.
panoramic mode?
how to?
*sorry for the noob question

Open camera and hit the menu button. The fourth option on the screen looks like mountains with a sun above is modes. It gives you options from single shot, multi shot, timer and last but not least panorama.
ah thank you
i didnt noticed that panoramic thing is in there.. just notice single and multi shoot *shy

Panoramic

Does this phone come with the panoramic camera option?

The International does... probably this one too.
Just tried it for you. Yes it does have the panorama shot. It is as slick as the One S's. It has a few more frames as well at 8. There is a blue square that shows up as you get close to the next frame and snaps next frame automatically. I notice the second one was a bit blurry, but that's probably on me for not being steady. It calculates seemlessly, the pic saving with no lag or apparent processing. The One S does it quick too, but some of the apps I've tried (on other phones) sometimes took a second or two to process.
This phone is fast.

Have not tried anything but Panorama, but if no one else posts, I'll do a review on them after I get back from an errand.

4:3 Video Recording?

Everytime I hit record the camera instantly jumps tp 16:9 mode which is cropped from 4:3 native mode of the camera, is there anyway to avoid this?
Go into camera settings, go down to Video Size, change the size.
16:9 is a pretty standard aspect ratio these days and is what most TVs, computer monitors, and such are built as. Certain phones also are, but its more likely that they are slightly wider, or slightly longer. S9+ has an aspect ratio of 18:5.9. Granted, considering 99% of people film in portrait mode rather than landscape, aspect ratio goes out the window.
I think Instagram defaults to 4:3 even for stuff filmed in widescreen or portrait but you can change it before uploading it.
I went through all of the video size option, the only one that won't crop as much will be the square 1:1 mode because it's cropping it on the horizontal side. You will retain the same vertical height as the preview.
4:3 video
I can't believe people aren't more up in arms about this. I certainly to not need to hear any explanations about aspect ratios and standards (I'm not some idiot asking "why are there black bars on my video" ).
The fact is, there's no way to record video using the native resolution if the sensor (at least not on my Galaxy note, Android Pie (9)).
This is pretty f'ing unconscionable. Someone in marketing probably gave developers the "make it simpler" directive, which has resulted in crippled video.
I'm going to look for 3rd party video apps and report back if I find anything.

Pro Cam X Lite uses the full 4:3 sensor, but at limited resolution. I went ahead and purchased the Pro version and now I'm getting 2880 x 2260. No Still not native res (4032 x 3024), but I'm happy that it's wide angle 4:3 at a decent resolution.

Have you found a better solution? What smartphone do you currently have?

Video quality

Will the video quality be improved by software update? The movement is not smooth and there is a jelly effect. If there is no repair to the problem, the phone returns and buys the note 9.
terrible video quality from a phone at such a price!
Couldn't agree more! I hope somehow they fix the problem. The video quality in this state is simply a joke.

Mine is perfect but I use the cinematic wide mode, 1080p or 4k standard. My note 9 records video a little better but hasnt got wide angle.

Disagree. Video on mine is perfect.
Latest update fixed the jelly wobble issue

And what about videos in the dark? I did not see any improvement in YouTube videos.

Can I pay you for a photo sample (0.6x, 30 sec, iso100)

I want to know about how much noise a 30 sec exposure on iso100 with the ultra wide 0.6x lens, makes on the sensor.
The picture must be taken in a dark room and aperture and focus doesn't matter, since it's sensor noise I'm interested in.
1 picture jpg
1 picture raw
I can pay 10$ for the service in Paypal.

Thanks!
I have send you a PM
Got some really interesting shots from hendogg - lots of dead/stuck pixels (easy to remove afterwards), but impressed by the relative little noise on a 30 sec iso100 "warm" sensor.

Can you post the picture?
I buy my phone a week ago. So what do you want to see actually? Do you want to take night sky 30 seconds with 100 iso on super wide angle? Or mountain or my village?

I meant the picture from the other user that he gave to you. But if you can post some star photos or some photos in low light you have made with the phone, I will greatly appreciate it. I will also post some for comparison these days
16mm 3 RAW files tonemapped and merged in to 1 jpg.
I'm satisfied with the low noise high detail. 1, 4, 20sec iso100 exposure
