Galaxy Nexus Timelapse Videos!

Here are a couple of videos I recored using the timelapse function of the Galaxy Nexus! Please note that no mount was used in either video! This was just to test the function itself. With practice I'm certain we can get some amazing footage recorded with this!
anyways here are the videos! Please enjoy! (please watch in 1080p)

I don't understand you said you had problems with the camera and you couldn't post because you didn't have time to but yet you post these two videos, I can't see them so well on my netbook but what camera was you using on these two videos ? sure looks like the back camera to me !, Like I said I can't see them on this computer, So your 2 post are confusing to me

couldn't post any pics of the issue as I never had time to take said pics of the issue before returning the device. (these videos were taken before I noticed the issue - sorry for the confusion)
the camera issue is in regards to the lens not being centered - the sensor in which case has a bigger chance of not letting in equal amounts of light.
this post is basically 2 videos I shot with the Galaxy Nexus to show its time-lapse functionality.
the rear camera on my device however was not as it should have been - hence I returned it and will try my luck again in a few days.

Awesome! I like the soundtrack choice. Where is the video shot and what's the music from? Sorry if I missed that in the YouTube description.

thanks yo! the video was shot from an apartment window (14 floors up) without a mount! i basically just balanced the device infront of a cup (kinda stupid really come to think of it)
the music was the nearest time match i could find on youtube audioswap
its a very cool feature!

For the 1:20 long video you made, how long did it take? And did it use a lot of battery or did you have it plugged in?

yes i had the device plugged into a laptop via usb for that video
was shot at 2.5 setting not sure how long for though.. still not bad at all for a smartphone right? lol..

Great Videos!!!! Well done. What program did you use to add the music over them?
Also, let me know if your replacement had lens in perfect centre. Mine is off slightly too, but not enough to think of returning it. It's only a phone camera after all. I read one guy went back to change it and all 8 replacements they opened for him had the lens slightly off centre. Might be the entire first run?

I got to try out the time lapse feature last night... shot a little video... it's a cool feature, although I think the camera is not as good as the SGS2

I don't have a Galaxy Nexus but I want to know approx how long would you be able to take time-lapse photos with Galaxy Nexus with a fully charged battery?
i.e. Information I am interested are
1) From fully charged to completely flat battery, how many hours and minutes did the Galaxy Nexus last taking time-lapse photography?
2) What is the time interval it is configured to shoot
3) If there is a photos count, the total number of photos taken would be useful too
I assume the Galaxy Nexus is shooting photos with LCD screen off, GPS off, with an active SIM card inside (i.e. not in airplane) mode and WIFI on/off. Would be useful if you can specify exactly what conditions is your Galaxy Nexus configured at during the time-lapse photography.
FYI, I am running a series of tests on a HTC G1 taking time lapse photography and the data I obtained shows that time-lapse photography shows it is almost impossible to take time-lapse photography without plugging it into a power supply... If you can share the information I asked above, I tell you more about my findings or where you can see it. (I am currently running more tests to figure out how to take photos over weeks and months outdoors without a power point......)

my replacement is perfect! not a single issue with it at all! the phone is so impressive it has sold itself to a few of my friends who have also purchased the phone!

*****in'
Those vids are money bro! You got me wanting to try this feature out now. I must say, I think I will invest in a gorilla pod to film time-lapse instead of... leaning it against a cup... on a railing.... 14 stories high.
Be careful man, your next post might be a time-lapse drop test

Neat thanks for posting...cant wait to try something like that but im always on the damn thing so a time lapse would render me without a gadget for that time period.

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the OnePlus 3T's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Blurry images, all the time, totally unacceptable. Using OS 3.2.8

Rated 4, you need to know how to take the best shot. Not exactly the point and shoot but otherwise with manual controls it's really good.

auto, HQ mode, as you can see both shots are handheld as per my shadow on the lower right of the 1st picture.
HQ modes gives cleaner output than manual except if ISO is 100 but we need tripod for that because we need also longer exposure which I believed OIS can't handle longer than 1/3s due to handshakes

Another night shot test after installing the new Oxygen OS 4.0.3 with improved camera in low light.

Hello guys,
Am planning to buy 3T. Can you rate this model on overall basis ? Also, does anybody know about 4T or 5T release date ?

Try manual mode.
In low light use hq mode for better pictures.
And look on the lens if it's dirty.

Here are some pics i took

Thanks, HQ is working for me.

I donn't know what to expect nowadays, but it's definately bad.

Here's some lowlight shots, I don't take many pictures coz photography is my least priority right now, I bought 3T for its performance hehe!

Taken last week 9 o'clock p.m.
Zoooooooommmmmmm!!!! :good:

4T or 5T? Are you kidding me?

Needs Improvement
The camera could use an upgrade in software. Blurry and noisy images in low light. But no issues in manual mode.

Video Quality

Many of us agree the video quality is just Okay when compared to the photo quality. What I'm trying to figure out, if this is across the board with everyone? Has anyone taken video in lighting in the house? If so, did it come out just Okay? Like I said, photo quality is great, just the video I have an issue with.

Try to turn off the stabilizer indoor it gives better video quality,no more image crop.

This is very good video talking about details,but if you means the colors not accurate it's because the halogen lights can trick the auto white balance,not only in this phone in every other phone too.
You can try the manual white balance but not sure if there is a preset for this kind of lighting.

Anyone else having problems with super slow mo?

I'm trying to use the auto capture on super-slow-mo but it doesn't seem to be detecting movement.
I was using vaping to test it out. I thought that if I blew the stream of vapor into the detection square, it would detect it and make it super-slow-mo, but it acts as if nothing goes through the square.

In my experience big movements over the box triggers the SLM. Probably the vapor wasnt thick enough?

It doesn't get thicker. It's easily noticeable in the video anyway lol

yeah i have to agree... my S7 Edge was MUCH better at using super slo mo than my S9 plus.. half the time it doesn't even register.. is there any way for the phone to just do it when you press the button??

Yes, when you're in super slo mo mode, theres a button in the bottom left that says "Auto" tap that to change to manual.
In manual mode you can also change the length of the slo mo from .2 seconds to .4... But supposedly that affects the quality. I haven't confirmed that so idk. The .4 seconds setting seems brighter, so idk what thats about.

0.4s is 480fps
0.2s is 960fps
Think resolution is higher with 480 too

That makes sense, since the .4s mode looks brighter, so 480fps wouldnt need as low of an ISO setting as 960fps.

Possible to take better photos with ASUS Rog Phone 2

I came across a video on YouTube which shows how we can take better photos with the Rog Phone 2 using the Google Camera.

What are your thoughts?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I've seen several of these comparisons, and I often prefer the stock camera images over the Gcam images. The ones of the toy car and phone in that video are prime examples.
I suggest learning manual controls. Even if you don't use it in normal shooting, understanding what's going on with settings will help you take better photos. Remember, only you know what kind of photo you want, not some random programmer that never met you. Because of that, auto modes can be hit and miss, and understanding manual controls will allow you to quickly adjust for those times auto mode isn't working for you.

We need to make a camera thread, the photos from this phone are actually good without gcam

In good lighting it does much better than what I would have expected, and compared to my iPhone 11pro they are not horrible. Now taking photos at night that's a different story .

OIS is over-hyped anyway for a phone. The range of motion to correct isn't very big with such a small sensor. I've seen a test video of the electronic stabilization, and it worked extremely well.

From https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/see-light-night-sight/
If your subject moves during the capture, Night Sight can adapt to prevent a modest amount of motion from ruining the shot. Instead of capturing one bright and blurry photo, Night Sight captures an equal amount of light over a burst of many photos that are dark but sharp. By merging this burst, Night Sight prevents motion blur and brightens the photo, giving you a bright and sharp photo.

My V20 has it and I can get maybe a notch slower shutter speed than without. Not much difference. If it was something like Pentax's full frame DSLR, that gives 5 stops of shake reduction, that would be a big difference.
