This is for anyone looking to get the Note 4 and wanted a sample of the Video quality. The video is done though the Note 4, and nothing was modified or changed in anyway.

I feel like with a stable camera mount and high quality external mic you could actually make a beautiful low budget film with this thing! If cameras are getting this good, I'm excited to see what the future holds in store for us all

I tried using this in my room during low light and ew. haha yes if you had the proper lighting and a good mic then your right it can be. I dont have lighting like that but I do have a good mic and a stable camera mount for it.

True but there will never be a good low light phone camera unless the sensor is half of the phone.
If you were a profession, and has everything then I wouldn't see why you can't use this as a 4k video camera.

They don't seem to advertise that aspect of it.
When you start recording in 4k, notice that it tells you how much time remains, and it says five minutes. At the end of five minutes, it stops recording.

It's not like any movie films scenes longer then five mins at a time. Film for a couple mins, then end scene and start again. I have never scene Hollywood roll camera for more then a couple minutes at a time. The only down side would be people who blog or do extended reviews but to be honest your better off at 1080p for stuff like that.

I don't think it'd be hard to chop a vlog into five-minute segments.
But I'll often be in a scenic situation where I want to record video with the camera unattended for half an hour and then edit it down to the interesting parts. With 4k video on the Note 4, that's not possible.

What would be the reason they made it limited to 5 minutes? Also when I do video I Stop each clip so nothing is longer than 3 minutes. Unless i'm doing something else that requires a constant video stream then i guess it wouldn't work.

No, it's exFAT. It's got videos of more than 2 GB. And if it were a file-size limit, the phone should just shoot until the limit is reached, rather than forcing the video to stop at 5 minutes (which turns out to be around 1.7 GB).

1080p comes in handy when you connect your phone via MHL-HDMI cable to a 1080p display. Currently, WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet, which means 720p upscaled to 1080p. Also, if you've got eagle eyes, the S3's 320dpi still isn't good enough.
In any case, 1080p displays are coming, along with GPUs efficient enough to drive 'em. At some point we'll have to make a disconnect between the phone's display resolution and it's output resolution (when 4K and 8K TVs become more common in a few years).

You have eagle eyes? It depends how far you hold it from your eyes as well. There will most likely be no difference - except for people that like to think they see the huge difference while they are staring like -
I know 1080p is coming. There is lots of things in the world that are unnecessary so I didnt doubt it for a second.
zmore said:
My eagle eyes comment wasn't the main point, but thanks for choosing that for your subtle diss launching pad.
Both you and I would be able to tell the difference, and not just "like to think" we would. At 1ft the human eye starts reaching its limit of seeing individual pixels @ greater than around 300dpi. I often hold my phone 6 to 8 inches away and can easily see jaggies, so, until we've actually reached the physical limits of our eye, moar dpi == moar betteh. Kthxbai.

Not sure where you interpreted a diss launching pad from.
There are many web sites discussing this topic. I dont need to get into the specifics (especially since this is partly my field of work).
1080p on screens this size is pointless.
I am now asking you nicely to stop posting in my topic. If not, I will report to moderators.
Thank you.
zmore said:
400+DPI may be pointless for MANY people, but definitely not everyone, including the millions of us with exceptionally good eyesight (20/15 or 20/10). For those with regular 20/20 vision, they'll get the better display anyway, and primarily take advantage of it when it's natively output to a matching 1080p display instead of upscaling from 720p (which was my main point previously).
AND NOW I SAY GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

My point was 1080p is pointless for the SMARTPHONE's screen. Obviously not for a 1080p external display (which still has its stipulations - depending how far you are sitting, etc).

One of the reasons why I bought this phone was for the 4K recording. I have severe stuttering when recording 4k clips with the 5 min cap. This is very annoying. Furthermore, the phone heats up like a bastard, so much so that it almost feels too hot to touch, like it may explode or just melt.
I have the international unlocked version and I am in the UK. In the past 2 months, I have received 2 software updates for power management but that has not helped at all, battery is terrible. When you record 4k, it drops like a ***** almost 10 percent every minute and continues to go down while the phone tries to come back to normal temps.
I have changed the runtime to ART and back to give it a try and its no better. Also did this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365/page31
With the hidden menus but its not really giving me a boost in processing power and better temperatures. I have searched for a few days now and cannot find anyone with similar issues and I have seen a lot of issues, so starting a thread here.
Please help!
I think the heating while recording a 4k video is a common issue. On my G3,the CPU reachs 67-70°C,hotter than when playing Asphalt 8 and this causes a big battery drain.
For the first question,in poor words the 4k-recorded videos have some lags?
Inviato dal mio Lg G3 con tapataaalk
Thanks for replying. The issue is not recorded video, it's pretty choppy "while" recording 4k. It's choppy playing back the same videos too and consistent to the stutters experienced while recording. The playback stutters at the same place where recording stuttered if that makes sense. I don't think there is an issue with playback but recording.
I am not sure why this happens as it didn't seem to happen when I bought the phone, can it be the software updates for power optimization to blame?
yup i've seen the stutter on playback but only when i play the 4k videos on my laptop.
but on default player in g3 phone, there is none.
in my experience, choppiness when recording vids was due to slow microsd.
i always try to set the recorded vids to internal sd after that.
When my class-10 micro sd arrives,i'll try 4k recording and see if there's struttering...and compare the videos with the other ones made with a class-4 micro sd
Inviato dal mio Lg G3 con tapataaalk
Yeah.. They didn't add the 5 minute cap for the beauty of it. The phone will heat the crap up with 4K.
I don't have issues with stuttering, though I use a class 10 sdcard
------------------
Hey, small add here. I took the phone off the wireless charger (had 100%) and started recording a 4K video. Phone got lukewarm (like browsing on facebook for a long time on 4G). Battery went from 100% to.. well, 100%. But 100% is a bit tough to break, but it when it shows 99%, it's a straight drop from there. No stuttering at all too.
Class 4 is not enough. Class 10 may not be enough either. If you want to record 4k directly to MicroSD, you better buy those "extreme" memorycards. They cost more but trust me, even Class 10 may not be enough.
Oh and by the way, rebooting the device every once and a while is highly recommended.

yeah, truly so, there may be tons of zombie processes, doing stuff in background and messing with SoC, distracting it from encoding process thus causing stutters
Oh trust me guys u have tried rebooting every 5 mins to see if there were no issues. Did factory reset too and it was slightly better. Maybe there were indeed some zombie processes to blame here and I think the sd cards are also n issue. I have now gotten rid of the phone. Too buggy and not optimised. I am now waiting my nexus 6. I hope the camera is at least as good as LG. On my previous nexus devices the camera has been pants.
Nexus 6 and 4k movie
Nexus 6 just can not handle it. I posted a 4K to Facebook and it ended up as junk. I then immediately deleted it. Set Nexus 6 to HD 1080p and forget about the future of 4k in Nexus 6 for now.
GTMoraes: Hi, saw your comment about wishing your G3 had a lower 1080p resolution. Wish I could remember exactly where on these forums, but someone had a couple of lines you can enter in terminal to specify the resolution you prefer for the screen. He said it made the screen faster and the power draw less than the 1440p it's on now. I knew I should have written it down.

Does anyone know how to stop the camera app from flashing twice before you take a night pic? I had a note 2 and it was very fast taking night pics. One flash and bam all good. Note 4 you have to wait a couple of seconds.

Yes, I would like to know this too.
I'd like to know if there's any way we can manually set the shutter and ISO (and I mean beyond the 200 through 800 options.) I'm pretty sure we can't natively which really blows.
There is an app call Camera FV-5. Has a little more available settings. I think 100-1600 ISO. There is a lite version so you can check it out.

The only time there is a night mode for pictures on Note 4 is when I turn on the flash ? There is no actual night mode like it was in different galaxy models ?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4!
The first flash is to aquire focus, the second is to take the picture.
So if you pre-focus the picture you will only get one flash and if you don't it will focus with the first flash and then flash the 2nd time when you are taking the picture. Am I understanding this correctly ?

I've noticed mine do both. It seems to depend on the lighting conditions and distance from the subject. It could be my eye playing tricks on me, but it also seems like the more of a delay there is before the second flash, the brighter the flash is. Almost like it needs to build a charge to get brighter like an old-fashioned speedlight.

Is the high temperature during prolonged camera use because of the smart/high brightness which sets the screen brightness to the max?
42 isn't a alarming temperature. If it is a persistent rise, then it is matter of concern.
Otherwise, the device cools down rapidly once we stop using camera.
took a 10 min video over the weekend. didn't feel any significant heat from the phone. but it could be coz:
* i forgot to enable EIS (didn't know it was turned off by default)
* video was only 720p
but i did feel some heat when i was playing Mobile Legends. but the phone didn't lag though during game play, my touch/ accuracy went a bit haywire -- not sure if the heat affected the touch/ sensors... anyway, it could down quite fast after i finished my gaming session.

Hey guys. So I was at a restaurant earlier this evening and I was about to take some pics with my 5t when I noticed something really weird. Black vertical lines zooming from side to side on the image. The lighting was relatively dim and I noticed it stops when I focused on a white plate.
I tried with different camera apps and it kept happening. I took some videos to show you guys. I'm really hoping this is not a hardware issue because I'd hate to send the phone back.
Have any of you had these issues? Any thoughts?
Here are the videos:
And this one shows it happens with photos as well:

that ain't no issue. that's common on any camera.
It is the refresh rate of the screen and the lights not matching up. TV in the UK is broadcast at 24 fps, so lighting in the UK is tailored to match at 24hz.
you'll see those lines on poor light/LEDs on preview mode only. some camera apps have the option to change the hz from US to UK.

I had no idea lighting could mess with the refresh rate of a camera. It's weird because the problem is not only on videos. When I snap a picture the lines are there also. Is that because of the refresh rate too? On a still image?

Excuse me but no. Standard TV is 50Hz, and I bet at least some HD channels transmit in 50Hz. Regardless of this the AC switching rate is 50Hz. Unless you're talking of another UK (I was referring to the one with the Queen).

It's not a problem at all... It's how cameras pick up certain lights since they refresh at different rates. Try recording a tv or computer screen. You'll likely see it flickering the same way.
