4k 60fps on front camera is dark - Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion

With the one UI 2.1 update, they added 4k 60 on the front camera. It's good but it's quite dark compared to 4k 30. Anyone else have this. I'm on S10 snap HK?

It's normal, 4K60 is very intensive on hardware and software, it requires a lot of light.
Even the main camera is terrible on 4K60 if you don't give it enough light.

My Redmi Note 3 Pro has a low framerate while recording at night.

Hello guys.
I got a problem, that maybe all the users who have Redmi Note 3 have. In MIUI stock camera app, I get a low framerate when there's low light, or when I want to record at night. Even in all camera apps I used (open camera etc) I get same framerate (15 fps.) I just want to know, is there any mod/app, that makes less lagg? I need at least 25+ fps to go. Is it possible at all?
Thanks for your answer.

Try using Lumio Cam, it should get you a stable 30fps @ 1080p in lowlight or 25 fps at 4k in low light, it's the only camera app I know of that doesn't cause FPS dips in low light.
so annoying xiaomi is limiting this camera, so much can be done with it ([email protected]), 4k , image stabilization, fix the FPS low light issue...etc

Yep, Lumio cam gives 30fps, but when i turn on flash light, fps drops to 6, any solution? I am using nitrogen os.

Unable to record in 4K due to stuttering?

I have an Exynos S9+ (SM-G965F) with no SD card, I'm using WQHD+ screen resolution and recording at UHD 3840x2160 30fps in auto mode. HDR is on auto and image stabilization is on.
I haven't done too much testing but all the footage I've recorded so far has been a stuttery mess.
My other issue is that the 4K recordings don't upload to youtube at 4K, they are all capped at 1080p and look pretty garbage on top of all the stuttering and distortion. I've checked with 10 second clips over 4 days to make sure it wasn't still processing. I've tried both direct uploads and moving files to PC and then uploading but it makes no difference.
One interesting thing to note is that when I play my own youtube video back on the S9 I get the option to watch at 1440p but that doesn't exist anywhere else.
If anyone has any helpful information I would appreciate it.
Mine has same issue. You need to either record 4k 30fps with video stabilisation turned off, or, 4k 60fps which automatically turns off video stabilisation. Video stabilisation is only software EIS anyways. The phone will still use the hardware OIS. For some reason sanding aren't able to get OIS and EIS to play well together.
This issue has been fixed in the latest update (BRE5 for my international device). I had it on my device too, but only in 4k 30fps. Now its fixed.

It is still a little bit clunky, the only resolutions I got the most stable shots are in FHD60 and FHD30 (without video stabilization). Surprisingly, FHD60 is not jerky at all, only sacrificing quality compared to 4k.

30 FPS 4K now recording fine without stutter or choppiness? That's great. I will test it myself. But I've started to prefer 60 FPS as it's much smoother than 30 FPS.

Is 4K60FPS still choppy and stuttering for you? 60FPS is fine for me.
I had the same problem before the BRE5 update, only with stabilization on and UHD30FPS, It's fixed now but I prefer 60fps and OIS either way.

Not anymore, but I am not getting smooth videos out of it. FHD60 seems to be the balance between more stable videos and without stuttering.
With 4k60, no stuttering but videos are unstable.
FHD30 with stabilization on is great too, but sometimes choppiness strikes.

Yeah, im recording at 60fps too, much smoother than 30fps. And if you keep your phone steady, OIS is enough for nice footage.
Hey guys can you confirm that HDR works only in 30fps video modes? I noticed difference while recording in4k60 and 4k30. Same with FHD60 and FHD30
That choppiness shaking and floating makes Samsung s9+ and basically all other Samsung's unusable.... My iPhone 6 plus feels like a professional camera vs this hyped up camera gimmick

Video quality

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 Xiaomi Mi A2 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!
The 4K video looks good, but the catch is there is no EIS support for it.
Even though 1080p/60 or 1080p/30 do support EIS, the video quality is not as good (and looks unrealistic) as recording in 4K.
There are two samples over at GSMArena Mi A2's review, watch two of them in 1080p and you can see the clear difference.
This also happened in Mi A1, which is quite surprising. But it does not happened in other Xiaomi phone like Pocophone F1 and Mi 8.
Tried increasing the bitrate of 1080p video to 40Mbps but no clear result.
You can stabilize the 4K video using the Google Photos app so it's no biggie
If you are on stock rom without root or somekind mod like camera2 api, you can use Open Camera to enable 4K EIS and it is fantastic. Here is sample from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZXy5sdevXE
If you have enabled camera2 api to use google camera port, than you lose 4k video recording option i open camera, and you need to use Snap Camera.
So you can have 4K eis, and it is working really good, do not need to use google photos stabilization because it produces wobbly picture sometimes. Even better use eis and than apply google photos stabilization after for rock steady video
Is it only me or it's common - when record the video, it's not as wide as when making photo. The ratio is the same BTW.
Cropped up video - Reason

Yes, this is the case.
As you know, Mi A2 doesn't offer Optical Image Stabilization, but just Electronic Image Stabilization/ EIS.
The concept of EIS revolves around stabilizing by using the cropped out parts as buffers so that the visible window is less prone to shake. However, if the pixels themselves are blurred, EIS can not do a lot. This is why EIS is bad at low light conditions.

Fix for Focus issue on LG G8X (Front Camera)

Hello there, this is dedicated to all my photographers and videographers of LG G8x.
First things first, no matter what how many times you complaint them the problem is not fixable through software updates because front camera have fixed focus.
So i think there is no other option than this.
Case 1: (Professional phone photographers)
Guys if you are carrying a 35mm or 50mm then mount it to the front camera and zooming 1.5x is the solution for shooting 4:3 aspect ratios and only 1.2x zoom for 9:16 or higher aspect ratios.
+ Get lot of blur or shallow depth of field.
+ Can use Canon or Nikon lenses to achieve high end quality. Plus features if your lens have OIS, UV protection etc.
- Weight is a problem.
- Zooming 1.5x makes photo to loose its quality a little bit (especially in nights).
Case 2: (Cheap solution)
This is an inexpensive solution, get yourself a wide angle lens for under 200 rupees for indians and under 2 US dollars.
Buy that 3 in one lens and use the wide angle and zoom 1.2x for 4:3 aspect ratio and 1.1x for 9:16 or higher aspect ratios.
+ Very Cheap
+ Light Weight
+ Less zoom means lesser quality reduction
- No quality lenses are used, little bit lesser color reproduction.
Buy anywhere online by typing 3 in 1 lenses for phone.
Hope this would help you out, if helps don't say thanks but help me find a solution to record 1080p 240 fps video with zooming (stock camera doesn't allow zooming in that setting)
Filmic pro is not working for slow motion .
Moment pro camera doesn't work for slow motion.
Google Camera doesn't record slow motion.
Suggest me a way to do this.
Thank you for all the patience.

why you actualy need to zoom ,just crope the video after recording done ,using a video editor.
our device didn't have an optical zoom even in photo mode if we zoom 8x it just uses its digital zoom.
you just click a pic at 8x and same pic at 1x then you crop the 1x pic to 8x then compare 8x pic vs croped pic. result will be same:fingers-crossed:
give me a like, i gave you a solution with best explanation
I appreciate your idea but actually thing is when you film it with no zoom and crop it later, same results i agree. But you won't get the flexibility of knowing what exactly you ate shooting, you can't see the full sized video as a reference while shooting.
1) You barely see the depth.
2) Hard to manage White balance and Exposure.
I do need some other working apps that would support this phone zooming while filming at 1080p 240fps.
Tried many of the popular apps
Google Camera, Filmic Pro, Moment pro camera, Proshot, Hedge camera 2, (MiUi 11 Camera, Oneplus Camera- Stock).

Filimic pro have the support of zooming in(@240fps) i tried it working:laugh:

Question Camera quality?

How is the camera quality? Im coming from S22u
Battery is ok. Zoom definetly not the camera to shine. Ultrawide and standard lens are very good. However, coming from an S22u you might have a downgrade..
Main camera captures a lot of details and offers a very good (and bright) night mode. Ultrawide and tele are "ok cameras". They can take good pictures in some conditions but don't expect much, they are not in S22u or i13 Pro territory. You'll notice too that the default camera app tends to oversaturate colors. Sometimes overly So. I got Gcam for that reason. The front cameras for selfies are also ok cameras. In poor light they are almost unusable for me. I recommend using the main camera for selfies. Find N is a great phone but the cameras are not the highlight.
Cameras on this Oppo are very good. Samsung S22 Ultra is plagued with horrible shutter lag nobody talks about. Not anymore since I upgraded to Oppo find N. And here you have proper 50mm portrait focal length unlike 75 (3x) they now put in every flag****.
