That's why you have tap to focus so you can tell the thing what you want it to focus on. It's really simple, you want it to focus on something in the video just tap on it on the screen and woah! It will remain focused on it.

Resolution 1920x1080, anti-shake on, video quality superfine, the rest were set to default.
I can record and play back in 1080 on the phone, but I cant seem to play back the files on the computer without the image breaking up into a blocky mess. I'm using VLC to play them. Has anybody else come across this issue? 720 is fine. I thought it was the sd card, but even recording to the phone gets the same issue. Weird.
Well,
I see most annoying problem from SGS2 known as Video Stutter or frame drop issue has migrated to SGS3: http://mobile-review.com/review/imag...hoto/video.mp4
"Frame drop issue" printscreen from mediafire (min:13, max:39), but should be within range of 26-35.
PS: Exchanged mine SGS2 6 times, until got proper one camera module.
Galaxy Nexus records way better 1080p.

Hi Guys,
I am guessing the HD2 doesn't come with video recording (strange for a top smartphone as this) but is there any chance of a software solution coming in the future that might support this feature?

Why do you guess this....Are you talking about 3g video calls, then no..
I`m sure you`ll be able to take videos though...
aren't there videos taken with HD2 floating around in youtube?
Yes there are. And yes, HD2 has video recording. The "guesses" come from the official spec sheet where video recording isn't mentioned I think.
seriously, there's a thread on the front page about video playback...

I think you're confused by the Iphone - until recently it didn't support video recording - as far as I know, winmo has always had that when a camera is installed?
but just to set this straight, what do you mean with video recording?
start the camera and record a video and save to memory card or something else?

Because almost every phones (except apple) imaginable in the last 5 years have had video recording? A cheap $25 samsung slider has video recording, so what makes you think a high-end $800-900 phone doesnt come with one? That's like asking if a new Ferrari 458 will be expensive...

Not to sound like a troll, but as a genuine comment knowing people who had the iPhone as their first "proper" smartphone, they've been genuinely surprised that pretty much every other camera-containing smartphone ever made has video recording and mms (copy and paste/multitasking/etc less so).
Just wanted to say that some people have to cut the attitude, I was only asking a question! and the reason I thought it didn't come with video recording is because a preview said as much and I thought it was strange. This will be my first smartphone so give me a break!

No, there aren't. It's only one video and looks very bad. I guess the camera is craptastic
There is one video sample here. It's not as bad as some, but it's no dedicated video camera.

^^^ very good point.
Plus I would imagine that utilising a 720p resolution is goig to have a major impact on the already mediocre framerate.
IMO theres not much point having 720p recording if its going to be at 5fps.
Hopefully im wrong and it will be silky smooth at 720p
Well on robsbay.co.uk it has said for a while now that 720p is defiantly working but isn't in any builds yet.
I'm not sure if he actually means defiantly or definitely...
X2 on 720 not being worth it. High resolution video through a crummy lens is just a bad idea. Giant crappy video is still crappy video. Pick up a Kodak Zi8 if you want HD video on the cheap.

I disagree... yes, the quality will always be worse than a real video camera but the same applies to still images. DSLRs are head and shoulders above the best camera phone, so would you say camera phones might as well have stayed at VGA resolution instead of 5 or 8 MP common these days?
Unless there are framerate issues I'd love HD video capture. Some phones it's not so great, but some are pretty impressive given everything (the Samsung Galaxy S seem to do pretty crisp 720p).

So any news for 720p on Android? WP7 can do it, so it's possible.
Any progress?
We need that for Android
so i was just searching youtube but didnt come across any HD video samples from x10 with the new 2.1 update. so ppl please post HD videos recorded from ur x10 and dont forget to mention the application used.
cheers
Taken early this evening.
Will post more videos a video walkthrough of upgrading and rooting soon.
Autofocus seems to be great to record videos in HD. I made some quick tests and the results were very nice.

I don't understand how this is difficult... The Youtube button is available on many editors, not just XDA.
Youtube tag = the video ID.
e.g. for yours: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM4_mbud0Cg
So click on the Youtube button and put in TM4_mbud0Cg.
It's not rocket surgery and it saves people from having to browse away from XDA.

Gonna go get the fancy car out & take a vid to test it.
Someone know something simple to edit the mp4 and crop it before I post it?
This is weird, I was thinking video autofocus worked like in the N900, but in the x10 is full automatic or am I wrong?
In the Nokia N900 you can press the camera button to focus while recording the video...

Thanks, and it was a good night too. Seemed a bit expensive for £100 but as everyone loved it it was well worth the money.
Here are some of mine, 2 are night videos, one on top is With Night Mode and bottom is without Night Mode
IMO i think without Night Mode seems to be a lot smoother but with Night Mode you see more but you can see noise as well
Night Mode with Flash on

720p Video Test
HD Vid
Vid i just shot now.
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

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.

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

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
Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the photos taken with the default camera app is a little skewed at the edges?
The camera is great for macro shots but when shots are taken from a distance, I can't help but notice that the subjects on the edges get distorted or stretched.
It would be nice if we shared our experiences on this. After all, this phone was touted to have the best camera at the time of the launch.
Thanks.

I feel this may be a hardware issue and not just a software glitch as I have noticed the same distortions with the in-built Charm Cam App. It could possibly have something to do with the lens alignments or maybe it's just an isolated case with my phone. But I have no means to verify my allegations as I don't have another phone to carry out comparisons.
In any case, I request other owners to please share your findings with regards to the image quality on this camera.

The primary reason i found for noise is that iso gets too high in auto mode.it might just be software issue. But we dont have other phone with same hardware(OV 16825)
Since kernal sources are avilable i hope they provide some light
Also as the camera is capable of [email protected] 60fps i would like if some dev removes this constrain of [email protected]
