Anyone having issues with video recording?
Its virtually useless to make a decent recording. The phone either can't focus or forgets to focus whilst recording. There's no way to focus either.
Feels like this 4.2 is a beta. That's if this phones problems are related to JB.
I have problems when taking pictures. After the first 4 or 5 it wont take no more. It just keeps the flash on and it keeps focusing over and over until i restart the camera.

Same here. It stops for a second or two. Then it continue recording.
But not all the time.
i have the same problem here
I was recording a clip about 3-4 mins into recording it hanged and continued then hanged again this time fatally as I had to force close the camera app. however i did not lose the footage ....
Same here but with no freeze. I have ever record for 12 minutes.

Could it be sdcard related maybe??

I had this issue to but it solved it by itself. what i think is ram related not SD i have a class6 SD card. now i kill often all apps and have no lag anymore. i think this is why HC put more ram in the phones and why nexus s doesn't record 720p.
ps: when it lagged the sound was off on the playback.
when i record, it has a momentary glitch after about 5 seconds, for about half a second then carries on recording, happens every time.
Yes I can also confirm that after recording a 720p film I get 2-3 short stutters on playback. Going to try again with auto focus and sound turned off.

I have similar problem too. 38s video recording seems fine, but I couldn't do playback. Then when I try to force-playback the video, it went silent after 10 seconds mark.
I have the same video recording glitch problem too..
Only got a slight pause when there was a lot of motion in the clip. If the subjects were stationary without much background movement, there's no stuttering while recording.
hi.. I am part of a uk test lab that SE have set up.. I have raised this issue with them and I'm awaiting a response.. might be a week or two though as it goes via their products director. commodoor - your point about memory makes sense..the app probably needs tweaking to reserve more memory when it starts, or when HD video recording is activated.

Woww it seems to work.. with image stablizer off in video mode, no glitch or any problem with video recording Thanks General Grant
Nope... even after turning off image stabilizer, still doesn't work.. What works is if I restart the phone. After using it for about half hour with some applications running, the problem comes on again. It's pretty consistent.

Tried to do 50s video with IS off. The problem gone
Tried it with 5min+ recording. No problem either.
I guess the problem is really the IS feature.
Yep still getting stutters in recording with IS off. Have tried changing focus settings but nothing seems to work. Have also updated to the latest. 184 build.

hi, have you recognized that when shooting video at night, the auto focus doesn't work really well, it always miss focus. can anyone make a adjustment that can disable the auto focu when shooting in 720p and 1080p, or may improve the auto focus speed?
I've noticed this to, I've come to terms with the fact the phone is not perfect.
Although its close to perfect.

I did a search but couldnt come up with anything useful.
Is anyone else getting abysmal focusing while shooting video? The auto focus in general (photos and videos) is sub-par, but it seems as though the camera needs a good few seconds to re-lock focus when shooting video.
Anyone else?
Yeh

poor light in the room = longer to focus
Yes. I just shot a 45-second video indoors (reasonably well-lit, not candlelight by any means) and it never did focus. About halfway through I touched a spot on the screen in hopes that it would focus there, but it just saved a photo of that instant. (It was a long shot, anyway... )
Anyhow, I hope that can be fixed in a future update.
Just wondering if anyone else has quite a bit of shutter lag on their nexus camera? I personally do unfortunately, is this normal? Many people say theirs is instant .

The N4 doesn't have a zero shutter lag for me either.
HDR setting will slow things down but will make the pictures nicer. Try toggling that and see if it helps.

lag variation between N4s
Just bumping this topic. I recently started using burst mode on the CM10.1 camera, and noticed the shutter on my wife's camera is able to take twice as many pictures as mine in the same amount of time. She and I have nearly identical Nexus 4's.... both running CM10.1. I was using a custom kernel (Franco), so I reverted to the stock CM kernel, but the lag persisted. I'm hoping that it's some sort of software configuration issue... but it's starting to look like there is simply some variation in the Nexus 4's that have been manufactured. Can anyone else comment on the shutter speeds of their respective N4s? What ROM/Kernel combos are you all using?
I don't have this problem but sometimes when I use the camera right from the lock screen.. exit camera, go to gallery, exit come back to gallery after some time have pass, all my pictures are blank. I can't view them until i FC the gallery.. Occasionally when I go to the camera app, instead of the lock screen too.. Only bug, I know with my first nexus 4 and my replacement..

It's of course going to vary on how well it can focus and what kind of focus mode you have.
With point and shoot cameras, the general advice in the past (back when they were a bit slower than they are now), was to eliminate as many automation possible (ie: if possible manually set iso, white balance, etc). Can also set the focusing mode to something else rather than continuous.
I'm not a huge fan of the camera's lag, but the quality is higher than past camera phones I've had, but because the sensor element is probably larger, it's probably more likely to delay as it gets better focus (Smaller sensor will have wider depth of field so won't need to take as much time to focus, but the clarity isn't as good either).
I kind of wish you could set stuff like shutter speed, f-stop and such on the N4's camera, but it doesn't really surprise me that I can't (besides just how many aperture stops could it possibly have in such a lens before diffraction hits it).
has anyone been able to find a video camera app that solves the slow stock video camera focusing? on my g2, it takes up to 8 sec for the camera in 1080p 60fps mode to focus. and you have to have the phone be still for the camera to register it's time to focus. if there's any movement and the video is currently blurry, it will stay blurry til the phone has been perfectly still for some seconds. it's very annoying. this was not the case on my gs4 or my lumia 920. both of those would focus regardless if the phone was moving or not.
yeah the video camera is pretty damn awful on this phone. hoping a dev makes a mod that can lock focus like the gs4 does.

Both photo camera and video camera are pretty bad. Pictures don't look nearly as bad though. Videos are just terrible. I'm hoping what the guy above me said.
Just tap where you want to focus. It tracks whatever object you tap.

The only time where I say slow focusing is under low light conditions. Besides that, I just tap where I want to focus and it locks on pretty quick.
Why do I remember a manual focus option on this phone?

because it's there for pics not videos.
also, the framer ate drops even below 30fps when in lower light. I don't mean darkness, i mean room lighting. it's pathetic.

Mine doest do more than 1-3 max to focus in 1080p 60fps...its the F320S k version.
Well, I bought this phone to be a decent pocket cam as well and bought into the 1080p 60fps hype. Disappointed that it is awful for indoor recording at a gym and even in good lighting shows blurriness. Wasn't the 60fps a big selling point for their camera? I'm hoping it's a software or kernel issue but at the moment, LG has gotten me twice with their specs marketing.

Not trying to be flippant here, but are you aware of many other smartphones that can do what you were expecting this one to?
Just thinking that perhaps the combination of fast moving objects and relatively low light without being able to manually compensate is just unrealistic for most smartphones. I've never been much of a sports photographer so if others could help us out that would be great.
Higher the frame rate the greater need for available light this holds true for shutter speed as well. It's just physics at work. Even a high speed film camera needs more light to properly expose at high frame rates or shutter. You can compensate with higher iso but only to a point plus the grainier it will be. Remember light is your friend.

Yes I can think of a phone. Nokia lumia 1020 or 920 or 925. I have a 1020. Have tested these both side by side and the 1020 in low light video recording doesn't blur half as bad as my g2. That doesn't mean I don't like my g2, it just means the camera for video recording didn't live up to my expectations. For pictures it's nice. In 30 fps mode there is a tap to focus after you start the recording. But in 60 fps mode there is only auto focus and it pretty slow. Why they would not give the best quality mode no focus other than its slow auto focus makes no sense.
