How can I get to camera settings? i took video and uploaded it to Youtube and saw that the highest resolution was 420p. This phone advertises 720p quality. I cannot find how to set it to 720p. Has this happened to anyone else?
When you are in the camcorder, the last setting on the right side of the capture screen, change that to HD(30m).
Thank you, I have no idea how I did not see that!
could it be the app converted it if you actually used the hd 30m

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.
I've been using the stock camera app which is updated on my 6P and I can't figure out how to get it to shoot 4k video. Anyone else have any issues? I made sure that the video is set to shoot 4k but when I do take a video it only shoots in 360p resolution? Not sure what I am doing wrong. I really don't like the google camera app.
I've tried shooting in portrait and landscape mode and changed all the settings around but still can't figure it out.
No issues here. Just tested and set to UHD 4K. It produced a 4K video. Stock Camera.
Hmmm, not sure what I am doing wrong then? Can I ask what settings you are using? thanks!
I'm actually perplexed as to how you manage to shoot in 360p, as the lowest option I have is 720p.

What is reporting 360p resolution? Sounds like YouTube. If so, have you tried changing the quality setting?

That should be all; where are you getting 360p from? Shoot a video and then look at the properties, it should display the H x L pixels, which will tell you the resolution.
Hello,
I recently purchased an AXON 7 and really enjoy using it. I was in the camera app and noticed that the slow motion quality is much worse than it should be. I went to the settings to change the quality, and the option to change the quality was greyed out and stuck at 720p. I've already tried wiping the cache and resetting app settings, and nothing has worked. If anyone could help me fix this issue it would be really appreciated!
There's nothing wrong with your phone. The Axon 7 only shoots slow motion 120 FPS and 240 FPS at 720p. In the normal shooting mode, you can set the video to 60 FPS at 1080p if you want a crisper image but with less room to slow down the footage. Otherwise, that's it.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I would change the options but i can't since the drop down menu doesn't allow me to change it. Is there any other way to fix this issue?
To change the "slow motion" options, you press the fractions on the bottom left of the slow motion screen, i.e. 1/4 or 1/8. These determine how slow the 720p footage goes.
For 1080p 60 FPS, go to the regular video recording accessed by a swipe to the right, or by pressing video, on the main camera page and then press the gear cog on the top left. Then select 1080p 60FPS. You will have to slow it down yourself in a video editor but it is an overall better image.
Hope that helps.
I quite like the video quality of the G6, and when transferring them to my PC to view on my monitor, the quality is superb. But when uploading the videos to Facebook, they are full of artifacts and are generally incredibly low resolution. Even after ensuring that I've enabled HD upload, the option to view the video in HD is disabled.
I'm wondering if there's something about the video settings of the phone that prevents Facebook from properly rendering them... Although I will say that I've tried just about all the recording options (1440p, 1080p60, 1080p30, ...) with no real difference.
Anyone else experienced this, and hopefully have a solution?
There is a setting where you can change quality from regular to HD. I can't remember where it is, but I think it's inside of the Facebook APP. If you change that it should give you much better quality.
Open Facebook app
Help & Settings > App Settings > Upload Photos in HD (turn on)
Help & Settings > App Settings > Upload Videos in HD (turn on)
exit, try again, report.
After recording my daughter this weekend in 1080p60 I'm going back yo regular 1080p cause the video looked weird and like some spots were being fast forwarded.
As for Facebook issue - if your videos are uploaded in HD, it take FOREVER for Facebook to render/process it for HD (they make SD available immediately like Youtube does) and you have to wait for the HD version. Then once you start the video, you have to toggle HD on each video individually and then it's only 720p since facebook downscale it to that format (which is still technically considered HD, just not considered FULL HD).
So recommendation is if you're going to film something for Facebook - do it natively in 720p since higher rez won't matter
Hello,
I would like to know how can you record 4K 60 fps Videos in HDR?
Thank you very much indeed.
Best regards
