?
Is it possible to disable AF during video shot? I was trying different settings but auto-focus is continously active even when the subject is not moving or the phone is kept still. The following settings I found it will not ruin to much the video recording despite the fact that AF is still there:
Focus mode = object tracking and Metering = average
Can anybody share some tips & tricks on how to obtain a clear video shot?
Thank you

You mean that annoying "pumping" effect?
/e: I don't have a fix, but I'd like to hear about one too. It's the only thing that's left that really annoys me.
That's right

Try camera fv-5,it can disable af and have fixed focus till someone knows how to mod stock camera for that
No, it's not possible if you're using stock camera app.
I think cinema FV-5 could solve the problem with it's AF-lock feature...
Does FV-5 have video stabilization?

I installed and I was playing a bit with cinema fv-5... It looks good but it is pity that is crashing when I receive incoming call.

Hello guys, does that mean that nobody has found a fix for this?
I'm also interested how to solve auto-focus issue.

I've just had a thought.
Is there any mod anyone could do to the camera so that the flash comes on before focusing so in the dark you can see and focus properly on the subject.
It's just when you take pics in the dark it can't focus so it ends up blurry.
Thanks

Has nobody got an answer for this. I've heard froyo will have spotlight when recording video but why can't it be used with camera?

Hello Guys... Hope u enjoying your new .96 JB Firmware. ...anyway lets move to the problem which you guys may be having... but that was annoying me too much.. yes i am talking about 1080p lag and Focus problem. after new update i was still having a slight lag while recording video and the big thing which was annoying me too much was continously focussing of camera even in day light condition that was ruinning my video.... :silly: So after lots of Searching i found a solution...:good: :victory:
LG Camera App....:fingers-crossed: available in android market and you do not have to buy that app because all features of both paid and non paid versions are same except you see a free logo on icon of the app which is not bothering...
here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en
So this app is very usefull and both the image quality and video recording performance is way better then stock camera app..... There are alot of options for image capturing and video recording.....you can change Mbits rate and sampling rate of video,,,,,you can change Focus Setting while Recording and YOU CAN ALSO TAP TO FOCUS WHILE RECORDING WHICH STOCK APP IS MISSING...A FEATURE THAT SAVED MY LIFE :good:
Settings which Worked best for me Without ANY Problem and Best Video Quality with out lag or focusing PRoblem is :
For image: All settings auto.....antishake Disabled......Delayed jpeg saving....and i get sharp images compared to Stock
For Video: 1080p Resolution....H264 Encoder......Video bit rate 20 Mbits..........Focus mode Auto
Both 1080 and 720 videos are 16:9 Ratio
i have Stock JB .96 and stock kernel installed
Unfortunatly sony didnt listen to us but nothing is impossible in android....and i found a Solution.. Hope you guys Enjoy and Try yourself.....
All credit goes to orignal App developer....
Thankz mahnnn it is wrth a try

You cannot record on 60fps, says record failed. Also, the bitrate work only on 20 on my phone.
The videos are not much better and I don't see any difference between this and original camera.
Thank you!

for me 60 fps works i personally recorded it and checked its properties in MX player and there it says it is 59.699 FPS but yea the bit rate is also 20 Mbits for me which is atleast good then the stock 16.9 Mbits Also we can tap to focus in video when we want.... this is atleast better then the stock camera which is continously trying to focus on object again and again and Ruining video........Anyhow Thanks for Trying....
Comparison or it didn't happen

Hi,
here is a beautiful fast & unique camera app from Moto x,
Action:
•Press the screen to captures picture
•Holding the screen activates the burst mode for capturing multiple pictures.
•Dragging up and down zooms in and out.
•Swiping fingers from left to right brings camera settings, and from right to left takes to the Gallery.
•Another convenient gesture is twisting your wrist twice (quickly) while holding the camera in hand launches camera anytime. It’s a great feature for a smartphone with no dedicated camera button.
Features:
•Single shots
•Burst shots
•Video recording
•Front-facing camera toggle
•Swipe to open settings
•Swipe to open gallery
•Touch to focus toggle
•Flash mode toggle
•Shutter sound toggle
•Geo-tag toggle
The camera app can be installed as a normal APK file. Installing this camera app does not replace the stock camera of your device and having installed it, you’ll see two different shortcuts in your app drawer.

Good one, but what does the SLO mode do? It seems locked for me. I can't use it. Anyone has an Idea.?
Few others I've used
Have been using many camera apps currently. All have some or the other feature which I like. I use according to my purpose.
1. Camera Zoom FX: Using it for its Voice Activated feature and its Collage feature. Voice activated mode will click only when you make a noise or say click or cheeze etc. You can use it when you click your own pics or wanna have a group pic.
Use collage mode and click multiple pics and you'll get all of them in single pic. That's way quicker then click normal pics and then use collage.
It also has a stable indicator that indicates when the object or the phone is stable to click the pic.
2. Pro Capture: For providing many various Focus and Scene modes in one touch, especially the Macro mode and the Fibonacci Spiral is also one of the best feature it gives. The golden Spiral does make sense in pictures, I personally believe.
3. Fast Burst Camera: Name says it all. Soon I'm gonna check the Moto X for its continuous shots and if the result is better I might replace. But this app is quick good. It clicks like a machine gun. Some times even if I try to click it ones it quickly response to the second touch and takes another shot . Sorry that might be a negative point as well
4. Camera 2: This app is real fun if you like to take pictures and video like that of Old time (1940s, 1960s, etc), It has Sci-Fi mode similar to Green coloured Matrix like of stuff with number falling down in a line. Comic mode, Artistic mode. Best part of the app is that you cannot just click pictures but also take videos in those modes.
Well I used many others too but removed them for less or more their limited features.
I hope this might help you in any way. :good:

it is a slow motion video recording function. i never find a similar camera app with this function!
can anybody help me getting the slo mode (slow motion) camera app working on sgs3 PLEASE??!
My SGH-M919 is really odd when it comes to recording videos.
Pictures are okay, but video quality is a bit terrible.
When I record a video, it takes a while for it to begin recording...normal, I've seen this happen on other Android devices.
As I'm recording, the video looks okay, no choppiness, yet.
When the recording stops and the playback starts.. the video looks pixelated.
The only time the video looks high quality is when the camera is still.. as soon as the camera moves.. it becomes pixelated.. but, then as the camera is settled.. it forms back into a high quality video.. move it again.. pixelated.
I have the video settings set on 'Standard,' as opposed to 'Low' on Snapchat, but that does not help.
Does anyone know what's going on? Should I enable/disable anything in the developer options? I've noticed this on Snapchats received by other Android users in my contact list, but iOS 4.x.x+ devices are all clear.
Any help/troubleshoot is appreciated!
If y'all need a video, lemme know and I'll try to send one.
Same here, iOS users are always clear, Android is the same as your issue and the same with me.. I would like to have this fixed as well!!

That's what I had thought lol, I hope snapchat improves in quality for Android devices

When shooting a video in low light I can see the subjects just fine on screen while recording. However once I complete the video (the whole time thinking everything was visible) and go to watch it I find the video is much darker than when I was taking it (still on the device screen). Anyone else notice this or know what to do to fix it? Not sure why it is so much brighter and more visible during the recording. Seems like it should be just as bright as it was when I was recording it.

Make sure you have HDR set to auto or On.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Thought hdr was only for photos.

Tried low light video with hdr on. Made no difference. I believe hdr only works for photos. It takes several photos at different exposures abd the combined them to one photo with the best of each one.
Thanks for the idea. Anyone else experience this or have an idea?
I'm also experiencing this issue. It's definitely lower light than it should be. Once video stars, it says something about auto-night mode being unavailable and the video comes out much darker than a photo would. I didn't see any way to turn night mode on manually. Ideas?
