Make sure to select 720p in your settings when taking a video.
Sorry, where exactly is this 720p 'setting'? The only settings I see in video mode is to have the light on or off..?

It's right there under "Camcorder Settings", just touch "resolution" and pick 720P.

For some reason you need to change your display language in settings to US, once you have done that you should see all the extra camera settings and it shouldn't effect anything else you do. I live in UK and this worked a treat.
looks great but out of focus, i cant get my camera into focus either, does anyone know how?
I just noticed you can do this today and now I am absolutely in love with my WP7 HD2. No use of iPhone 4 for me at all now
heres my test:

does it not have continuous autofocus already? i havent used the video recorder much, but if i recall right, there were some sorts of adjustments on the screen (which i assume is autofocus ) last time i recorded something.
Unfortunately there isn't
Is there any way to make camera apk form droid x2 work in milestone 2,
bringing continuous focus to it?
Hi
Sorry if this is a double post. I could not find the original tips and tricks thread. So posting a new.
Here is what I found out. When using the camera for taking a picture or recording the video, you can use the pinch multi touch thing to zoom in and out while recording/before taking the picture, instead of using the volume key or the zoom slider.
Found out today and it made my day lol XD :-D Handy eh?
thanks for the tip mate i wasn't aware of this myself
I just found out about that too.. Heh.
Anyway, digital zoom sucks, please avoid it.

Haha yeah. Agree it sucks. I might say doesn't matter getting eaten by a tiger when shooting its whiskers than having a pixelated image
Edit: sorry for the double post. Thought I could merge them later.
Even though I suggested my GF to get the iPhone 3GS and 4S, I'm not a fan of iOS or any iDevice for that matter - I just don't like the lack of flexibility without jailbreaking.
Still, Apple has been able to do it over and over again, they find some missing feature, and nail it. They just implement it perfectly.
This time it's the AE/AF Lock.
I wish SGS II had this as an option, this would prove so useful with the autofocus problems it is having. And ofc it's a great feature both for still images and video.
If anyone knows about any fixes/patches/way to get this done on android/sgsII - This is the place to share!
The exposure lock will be available to apps in ICS .. i am hoping Google implementation of ICS camera will carry it too.
Keeping my fingers crossed ... i honestly feel the camera module on SGSII deserves better camera app capabilities
Could not agree more. I was freaked when realizing that it's not possible at all on our phone. Always liked that about camera+ from the apple app store

The SGSII has AF/AE lock. What drugs are you on? To AF/AE lock both at once, just hold down the shutter button on the screen. You will hear the beep and the focus box will go green. Now the AF/AE is locked you can pan the camera around and you'll see the focus is locked and the exposure doesn't change. Now you just let go of the shutter button and the SGSII will take the photo.
If you want just AF lock, you tap on the area of the screen that you want to focus at and you'll hear the beep with the box going green. Now you can move the camera around and you'll see that the focus is locked but AE is still active and adjusting the exposure. To take a photo in this mode, you tap the shutter button. If you hold the shutter button down instead, it refocuses and goes into AF/AE lock.
I've had this feature ever since I bought my SGSII in May.

Yes, but it don't work @ video mode. Our phone will only start auto-focus when the recording has started. Did you even watch the video?

Looks like I am the one on drugs! Apologies to eitama for my biteyness.
Never mind. His post at least helped a few people to use their Camera better (if only for still photos)!

It DOES work on video mode. SGS II has had this feature since day one. Stock Video Camera app just doesn't implement it. If you're a developer, it's easy to add to your app.
Here's a video I made testing no auto-focus & no auto-exposure for the SGS II...although this is for my private video recording app, not released & probably never will be.

Great news! Well, maybe someone here can try to look into Camera.apk as I do not have any knowledge on smali.

Hi! That's amazing. Are you sure you can't share this app? It's the only thing missing from the whole android world at the moment.
I would enjoy paying for an app capable of this. And many people like me.
No kidding this would be awesome for some creative video making.

Dear XDA'ers,
Here's my S6 Camera Guide / Review and Tips & Tricks. https://youtu.be/7I09IE6tdLs
First thing I notice is a ring on right ring finger. What does that mean? Nvm
Great review
Thanks for the review, I didn't know you could seperate the exposure and focus in pro mode like that (03:35), really useful!
