Recording video in Landscape mode with t-mobile wing
How would I go about recording video on my tmobile in full screen mode as if I were taking a picture. Because I am getting tired of trying to record videos with that little box on the screen. Also do I always have to tilt my phone sideways in order to do this. I would rather record video as if it was in portrait mode. Thank you.
The wing's camera is a 2 megapixel camera. The video function can undoubtedly capture far less. Due to processor constraints and other stuff i'm sure, there is a maximum size that you can capture video.
As to the sideways thing, that is just how the program is made.
some time ago i was on yahoo answers n found some1 who ask the same question n some1 answered it saying that there is a program 2 record in full screen mode but dont remember the name. if i can find it ill surely post it

Is it me or the HD2's camera does not refocus when recording video?
Scenario: start video recording with a close up subject and then move to capture an object in the distance. The camera does not refocus. ...and neither did the HD. This would be a nice thing to have!
The camera does not perform auto-focus during video recording. why? - good q.
+1. Would be nice if Damien could come out with some tweak for this.
i would also like this, its really annoying nd makes sum videos come out fuzzy...anyone kno a fix
can't believe no one else has identified this problem, thiers no refocus once you start a video lol.... what a dumb problem... i am sure this cold be fixed easily if somone looked into it..
Very curious about this too.
Going to try to explain this... When I'm using the stock Camera app, the picture is normal. But when I switch to Camcorder, it seems to be automatically zoomed in quite a bit. And when I try to zoom out, it says that since I'm recording in HD, zoom functions are not available.
This is kind of annoying because now I have to step back probably 5 feet to fill the same frame of when I was taking photos.
Is this normal for everyone else too? Or do I have some weird glitch on my unrooted and pure stock ROM?
Yep, mine does it too (stock rom). It only does that in FullHD resolution. I guess the only use middle part of the sensor to read the data to achieve greater speeds, and thus it's gonna be a hardware limitation.
Who need HD anyway ? The lens hardly catch with it. I record 720x480 and I'm very pleased with teh quality.
Change the video recording resolution in the settings pane to 1280x720 and that should fix your problem.

Yeah I noticed that.
But that doesn't make sense. In photo mode, same resolution as video mode but in video mode it's zoomed in. Like Dr. Sid said, it seems that it uses a smaller section of the image sensor to capture video. Which again doesn't make sense. Weird.
This is definetly a speed optimization - scaling down the whole resolution of camera sensor from 3264*2448 -> 1080p is much more expensive operation than just cropping the central pixels, i assume someone at samsung was VERY lazy to have done the camcorder mode in such a lame way, it's still ok for recording outside scenes but useless for in-room recording.
I find this quite annoying also. At first I was wondering if it is a ROM glitch or something, since some of the people here stated that even in stock ROM it is present also.
I hope there is some kind of patch to this, full HD recording is really awesome and I hate to see the 'zoomed' effect.
Yeah noticed the same thing just last night.. Seems to also affect the camera's ability to focus properly in video capture mode as well... Shame on them, I wish I had noticed this sooner.
well I would like to know if the camera when set to video mode could somehow be set to never shoot video in the "up and down" look, I only it to show in the normal widescreen mode that is 1920x1080
once the video is started it cant be changed but if you start the video while pointing the camera down it could be started as in the wrong format
the same goes for the normal camera pictures I never want anything other than the format I set it to
are there any known roms that have something like this for the camera app
lastly I should maybe ask if since I have only watched the video/pictures on the phone if it were on a computer could it actually be 1920x1080 video, like the phone shows it sideways and the accelerometer in the phone makes me turn it sideways to watch it without having black lines - but would a computer ignore that and just have normal video?

There is an app called Video Rotate that will turn the video from portrait to landscape. I've used it for a few videos I recorded in portrait and it works flawlessly. Aside from that, you just have to remember that to get the proper viewing on playback and take advantage of this awesome screen and on your PC, you have to record in landscape( Side) and not Portrait( Up).
The computer will see it exactly as it is on your phone. You can rotate the video but if you recorded it in portrait, once you rotate it to landscape it will still have the portrait aspects. I'm pretty sure there is an app to stretch it to fit landscape but then you lose resolution on the video. The only way to get the proper video is to shoot it in landscape
so when its shooting in portrait mode is it actually 1920x1080 just portrait or is it some strange resolution than then when rotated and shown on a 1920x1080 display will be noticeable
I know the iphone video recording in portrait is not the same as landscape just turned portrait - a friend told me his iphone sometimes records like that and he tried to rotate it and it ended up looking like it was altered, not the same as if it was shot in landscape so it was like changed he said

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtI_OfPT7I0- Perfect example of why not to shoot video in portrait mode.
so why is it even still an option to shoot in anything other than landscape
is it to hard to just remove this option from all phones - I cant see a reason why anyone would want to record in portrait mode anyways
attn all developers of roms out there - make this a feature, stop the camera from even being able to record in anything other than landscape

That's easier said than done. It can probably cause more harm than good. It's an option. Both ways work and will play back fine on the phone. It's just an unwritten rule that all video should be shot in landscape for optimal viewing or for uploading/playing back on a PC. However, on your cell phone, sometimes shooting in portrait works because you get to capture more of a field of view from top to bottom as opposed to side to side. Landscape limits your abilities to shoot certain things from top to bottom so that's why you have the option. You just have to be conscious of this when shooting your videos.
Why would you want to record or watch a vertical video that just makes no sense. What's next companies start making vertical TV and PC monitors we can not let this continue to be a trend would you want to spend money to go see a vertical movie in theatres? Ironman 3 in vertical 3D come on think about how dumb that sounds.

Some people like to take vertical video regardless if it's wrong or not. On your phone it looks normal but once you upload it that's when the fun begins. However, you can't stop people from shooting video the way they prefer. I just don't want to hear the complaints afterwards if they they indeed record it vertically and are not happy when they upload it.

My friend was obsessed with recording vertical videos than get mad when they looked like **** on YouTube I'm like of course they going look like **** duh stop recording vertical videos. So I made him turn his Tv to the side and asked him do that look stupid he agreed and never recorded a vertical video again. I'm like this don't buy a smart phone and treat it like a 90s flip phone. Who wants to watch a video with two big ass black bars on the side.

Okay so I recorded some really cool slow motion shots. I can go into the edit screen and select the exact spot the slow motion should be. But when I go to send/post it the the video is completely in slow motion. Nothing in normal speed at all. Help?
No help needed, that is normal.
The entire video is slow motion, software speeds it up, and doesn't save it that way as it doesn't save a video.
There's another thread on this - somewhere - take a look for it for more info.
Use a screen recorded to record the playback of the show motion. Then edit in a video. You can use Google play games screen recorder.
Hello,
I'm either missing something glaringly obvious or there is no solution to this, but every time I record a video on my phone in landscape mode, when watching this later on a PC the video is 90 degrees rotated.
Where would I find the setting to avoid this, or auto-rotate on my phone please? As far as I know, only the header tag would need changing which has nothing to do with how the video has been recorded.
The only solution I found thus far was to use the Photos built-in app and rotate the video, however it takes a good while to create the new file this way and I'm not even sure how this affects the quality of the video.
Thank you.
