I can't seem to take a picture while recording a video.
This is what my camera interface looks like while i'm recording a video.
View attachment 1096706
But if you check out this video you'll see that there's an additional icon, for taking a snapshot, which i don't seem to have here:

I'm hoping it's just something to do with the camera settings but i could be wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW. i'm on rooted XE8

It is off
Try toggling to either 1080p or 720p mode and see if the option appears

Just tried this and still no snapshot icon
That's weird. Have you changed any settings?
Mine worked fine out the box, and I haven't fiddled with anything yet. When I start recording, a small camera button appears above the video recording button...
I just fiddled with settings a bit and Anti-shake was the problem.
It has to be off to be able to take a snapshot while recording a video.
Thanks for your time guys.
WHAT?!? thats awful! as I saw antishake during video is must have option...why they did such a stupid think...so the "take picture during video recording" is function only on 50%... you will have shaky video but also photos! and widescreen instead of normal...bravo Samsung another trumph!!! why are they so stupid as Im reading this forum a couple of weeks I thing that they made every function only to 50%...why I sell my SGS2.
What other functions are only working for 50 % ?

Works for me.. just tried it. Stock/non rooted

With antishake enabled, pictures cannot be taken while recording video. This simultaneous shooting picture while recording video is Pretty much useless.
Its now going to be the xda devs work to fix for Samsung
Mines rooted and it works fine for me.

Thanks for your input guys but if check back a couple of posts you'll see that the problem was Anti-Shake, if it's activated in the video recording settings then the option to take a picture while recording a video dissapears.
Unless you're saying that you have the option to take a picture while recording video with Anti-Shake turned ON ?

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:
HTML:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsmH2yu79OE
it can not take 720p video longer than 1 min
could you please add your video as a response to my wp7 flash tutorial?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nac3Fnf-lY4
I really love the phone and especially its photo capabilities.
Yet the video lags while recording are really bad.
Here a random unedited testvideo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NbXSOsVaE0
At the end theres no sound which probably results from the freezing where no sound is recorded.
Therefore the video is longer than the recorded sound.
I just checked and firmware is up to date, battery was full & taskkiller emptied RAM before recording.
Hope there is a fix incoming

Oh Ok i don't make videos, so i m not sure... Just tested video capturing 2 minurtes after turn off image stabilizor & it was fine.. But i had all other settings default
there is a known bug in the video recording of the arc, check some other threads on here. It has been reported to S.E so hopefully they will release a patch to solve the problem.
Is the sound on playback alot better than the X10? Because the X10 sounds pretty damn bad! Like im in a tin can.

I took a test video and it looks and sounds just fine to me. Mind you, I don't have a billion apps running in the background either.

Well, with stabilization on you get distortion as the frame moves, but it's hardly noticeable. Beats a jerky video.

Why image stabilization is bad for images?

It destroys the image with to much compression. Usually ends up with a more blurry pic.
But im speaking from the Xperia X10, not the Arc. But I could only assume its the same as of now.
ive just replaced the memory card on my arc to a 16gb kingston class 4.....seems marginally better with regards to video stutter...need to run a few more tests first though.

Yeah that a **** video dude..I ve got the same problem..The video lags a lot..I dont know whether there is a solution..hopefully a 3rd party app??
My mum told me to record my little brother's rehearsal for the regional artistic cycling tournament (he got silver btw ) cuz she was at work .The vid lagged so badly, also with the 5 sec freezing and some random 1 sec freezing. The whole performance is only about 10 min. I tried with and without image stabilization and some other settings as I was desperate to get it recording. In the end I asked my brother to do it again and used the milestone(Droid) from the coach to record it.
I have the fragments of the recording on my arc if anyones interested
Not that I care much of the performance as its his first year, but my mum was angry and laughing at my phone.
Bottom line: Awesome cam but useless videorecording.
Sony should come up with something..Video recording is ****.. :S
Can someone tell me if the GS4 has a similar function like the HTC One (Zoe) that allows you to either take video or lots of stills
and go back later on and choose which you want to keep, rather when the photo is taken.
Thanks.
Rob.
Quick photos from galaxy s3 has been here some time. The phone will take many pics and you can choose the best. For video? im not so sure as I havnt had a chance to play with the samsung phones since the orignal back in 2007 or 8? -_-

HDR makes the video quality much better, atleast if the manufacturer makes it work right
I'm always filming in HDR with my xperia z and I can tell you it is awesome!

Stock camera has this option. Tap the settings icon, swipe to the video section and under the resolution options you'll see it. The two 4k resolutions don't have any slow-mo options, but the others do. The slowest you can go with 1080p is 60fps, and 720p or lower is 120fps.
I see you also have this short distortion (weird stripes) at the beginning of the video.
Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
Also when taking clear image / HDR shots.
I don't have it when using hdr
Yeah, i get those lines, when i'm recording too. Nice slide though.
Looks like fun..
But the quality of the 720p 120fps is really bad on out phones.. not sure why... is it the camera app issue or hardware?

Hi everyone.
Thanks to an user from Android forums find out that this particular app works nicely with our LG Stylo , i have notice pictures are better than the Native cam app installed on this device.
You can download the LOLLIPOP ..APK from this Thread and thank you @xdabbeb for this amazing camera software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/app-xcam-lg-v5-1-0-t2873604
You guys can give it a shot and tell us here what you thing about it if is Better than the native lg cam app or non at all.
some LOW-light and Night Picture test using XCam
Thanks you for posting this. I love the phone, but I really hate the camera. This app makes the pictures come out so much more clear.
Edit:
I just noticed the front camera only goes to 2m. I thought It was supposed to be a 5m camera?
have you tried to see if the phone can record on the 1080p 60 fps option
