So I have been trying to shoot some 4K footage when I realised my G4 was unable to do so. Here's why: whenever I tap the record button (16:9, UHD) the UI disappears (like when recording in 1080p or 720p) but the timer and the red dot aren't there. The pause and stop buttons don't work. I have to wait about 10 seconds for G4 to actually start recording. Unfortunatelly after I'm done, the saved video is corrupted and I am unable to open it. Any ideas, G4 owners?
First. Where do u save your file? Sdcard or internal storage. Ive got almost the same problem and it was cuz a sdcard was corrupted. So if this could help you should check it
Speaking of corrupted SD cards... I had one when I was in my previous Xperia L, but here I'm saving photos and videos in the internal storage, so that shouldn't be the case... I have stock android 6.0, no root and a locked bootloader. Shooting in both 720 and 1080p is as flawless as the OIS allows me, but UHD is broken. The device is approx. 1 month old.
Is there anyone who has experienced similar problems and/or may be able to suggest any solutions?

I just noticed that when try recording 720p video on my SRF 1.1.0 Epic, it FCs at around 10 seconds. I seem to recall reading on here it could be an SD card issue, but before I go and reformat my card, I wanted to know if anyone had found an alternative solution to fix the problem.
Rarely use the video camera, so it's not the end of the world having this issue, but it'd still be nice to get it fixed for when I do need it.
Also, it seems to work on lower resolutions, just not 720p.
Almost like my SD card can't keep up with the data rate of 720p video.
EDIT: just occurred to me I didn't mean FC, it just says recording failed.
I recently started vlogging with my OnePlus 3 and decided to just say screw it and record in 4K. My issue is that while most of my videos are <10 minutes, sometimes they go over that and it stops recording. Is there any bypass for this?
I'm not currently rooted but would change that if it was needed.
Did you try it with third party apps? Freedcam for example

It's not a set time limit, it's a size limit. The fat filesystem can't handle files over 4gb which is why the recording stops. And no there is no workaround for this
Edit: actually you can try one thing. Plug in USB otg drive formatted as ntfs and then download a camera that allows you to change the save location. I would start with open camera since I know it has that function. Technically this should remove the limitation on the fat filesystem
The file system, Ext4, is not the problem here has it can easily handle files way larger than 4gb (around 16Tb like NTFS by the way) .
anybody managed to record long(er) 4K clips so far?
Anyone else having issues recording video? I'm set to record at 4k (30FPS) and it sometimes takes about 2-3 seconds to start recording after I hit the button. Not only that, the live video on the screen freezes and skips around a bit then eventually catches up.
I read of a similar issue on the Note 8, something about disabling "EIS?"
I'm recording to my external SD card, maybe I need a faster SD Card?
Thanks!

What is the rating of your SD Card? Have you changed the storage option to Internal memory and tried recording to see if the issue still exists?

The SD Card is a Sandisk ultra, 100MB/s
So, I did some testing and it is happening when I have my screen resolution at WQHD+ resolutions, regardless of storing to SD Card or phone.
If I drop down to FHD+ resolution, there is no lag.

Okay. Factory reset your phone then try again. If it still lags/stutters get it replaced and test in-store before leaving.
Turn off EIS, and select HEVC.

Is a very well known issue and to set screen to fhd+ not helping a lot... Switch off eis solve the problem but videos are not well stabilised.
Hecv is not giving any help at all.
We need a fix because is a very expensive phone
Not sure if it is resolved but I have laggy video when recording.
Screen resolution is FHD+, Video recording resolution is 720p and recording to SD Card.

Tried a faster SDCard? Is it resolved when you record to internal storage?

The SDCard is a "SanDisk Ultra 80MB/s microSDXC 64GB" Class 10 so it should at least be able to do 10MB/s.
Haven't tried internal storage but how fast does the sdcard need to be?

Switch storage locations and see if it fixes it, then you'll know
Happened to my S9+ as well even recorded directly to internal storage. I was recording with 4K and 30fps and noticed that my videos are not smooth especially when panning left or right but slightly better when up and down. My previous S8 did not encountered this problem. My only solution so far is to turn off the stabilization and use gimbal.
After the August Update, recording videos at 4k60 uses the internal storage instead of my SD card. My SD card is a Samsung EVO plus U3, so it can't be speed problems. This was working fine before the update. Any way to resolve this?

Any solution found? Very annoying...this was the only reason that I bought a 256gb sd!!! It was working just fine....I don't understand!!!
+1 same here, worked fine for months, suddenly a deal breaking change like this, sucks big time. Why not implement a choice, I don't get this.
I finally discovered this painful truth last night. WTH samsung.
I found that out also at 1 this morning while recording water pouring through our basement window. I also found out that if you turn your phone sideways to record video in 4K 60 FPS that when you try to watch the video, it will be sideways when you turn the phone sideways to watch it unless me moving the video to my SD card caused it. . That is seriously messed up.
Hey guys! an S20 Exynos owner here.
When I record a video (everything default, FHD 30fps etc.), I always get this weird jumpiness and choppiness. My only guess is maybe the OIS is doing some extra-work trying to stabilize things, while at the end everything just looks unsmooth and almost robotic.
Captured a short video below to showcase: https://youtu.be/MO75_KZl_to
You can see it on mobile, but it's very clear on a monitor. right as the video starts you can see it. This issue appears in all of the videos I ever taken with this device.
Has someone encountered this? Do you guys see it on one of your S20's? Maybe my unit is defected?
(factory reset didn't help btw).
Thanks!
What storage are you using to save videos to? SDCard or Internal?
