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.

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
Hi there.
Anyone knows the way to continue recording video with HD2 in background?
I'd like to both make video recording and use the GPS navigation program.
Since the functionality of standard video camera application on HD2 is rather good (sound recording, different types of recording, nice quality) I failed to find any good alternative for it. I know only two programs which are positioned as video register programs for PDAs and both them are not suitable due to a number of reasons. (both apps I'm referring to are oriented to Russian market, AvtoDVR and MyDVR).
May be anyone knows the register key which allows to continue video recording after sending the camera application to the background?
Thanks for help!
I second the request.
I subscribed to a thread which has since long been dead, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597003 where we were asking for this exactly (and a little more, as well) and AutoDVR came up too.
There's a problem tho: it's pay2use, and a program with banal background video recording shouldn't be (but AutoDVR still offers other interesting features, like video looping through MJPEG format, and gps speed watermarking), and it is severely messed up on the HD2 (as in, not useable, as soon as you switch it to background/lock the phone, the video gets garbled and the program interface does, as well)
Is there any way to keep recording video on the HD2 if I decide to view a sms message, email, or if press the home key? Thanks!
hmm.....guess not.
how would u keep the phone steady as ur recording a video while doing something else? i would also think that if u do anything while ur recording ur going to have skipping video or audio sync issues cause capturing video is very demanding on phones...
hwhahahahah perhaps HTC will fix this in 2150
Seriously...How much video are you recording that it can't wait until you are done. Or should I say how important is the text!?!
Paris Who?
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.
My s10 plus keeps stutter when i activate video stabilization ( not super stabilization ). Anyone else has the same problem?
It's like it keeps moves out of way during video watching which I record with video stabilization. I would appreciate knowing at least if I m not the only one. Here is a link to show what i meant. https://youtu.be/i3DQkRWH0CM
