So updated my S4 i9500 octa-core version, and it works great so far, but i noticed one feature missing, which is the HDR video camera. Does anybody know where to find it?
Same on i9505 think samsung have either turned the feature on so it's on all the time or they have bulled us
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I am interested too. I haven't found it.
Well that is annoying, Samsung hasn't given us an explanation yet.
HDR video recording function can be enabled via switching the Camera Mode to Rich tone (HDR), then you may have the HDR recording using Video Record button. Before the update of MEA version or above the HDR video recording button is disabled.
Hope to help.
No it doesn't help. Video is same independently what mode i choose. It affecs only on
photos.

That doesn't work. Before the MEA update, the video record button was still present in HDR mode.

Strange.. I'm using I9500XXUBMEA firmware & the HDR video record button is enabled after the update. Before the update, the button is present but not enabled.

It would be best to know what exactly you're talking about.

A screen shot would be nice, as I see no HDR button anywhere before or after the update.

I still think that button has always been there in HDR mode (and usuable).

I think that has always been there, because when using rich tone setting you could always press the record button but it didn't record in HDR mode, and I think it's still the same as it is now on the mea update unless it's been tested that it is HDR mode.

The record button is there but it's disabled (Disabled here doesn't mean it's not seen, it's there but can't be pressed to record video) once you switched to HDR mode in older firmware, if you don't believe then you can flash back to older firmware than MEA & try.

An old rom version I9505XXUBMDM. Record button was enabled in Rich Tone mode too and either I could make record. New version I9500XXUBMEA. Theres is exactly same behavier. Records in Rich Tone and Automatic Mode are always same. Can anyone upload an HDR and non-HDR video simple?

Off and on samples. Difference, as expected, zero
Focused on the blown-out part of the video. Which, when using proper HDR, would show some difference at least imho.
[Edit] Just for reference, here two photographs without and with HDR enabled. Difference is relatively clearly visible.

Thanks. That is the issue. Is there anyone who can upload positive result in which we can see difference due to Rich Tone mode?

the normal flash works fine in photos and if i access it without the camera with another app it works too.
also if i take screenshots they are always kind of red :-/

ther is no video light option in stock camera app. You should download lgCamera from market. It has "torch" function. just set video to 1280-720 , h.263, 5 mbit, and then you have smoother camera with video light
Examples of lgCamera with LED video light (Torch mode)
allright, did that allready and works fine.
thank you!
So you can now shoot raw images with the camera, but how? I can't find any option for this

Swipe right on camera window and click on setting icon
You probably won't have much fun with it anyways - there's a new bug now in OOS 2.2.1 which has the camera freeze and force-close when the RAW setting is enabled I use Camera FV-5 which works without problems.

RAW mode works fine for me.
I dont understand why all software related bugs are not present in all op2 phones.

Yeah, that's really weird.
I've found that the photos' quality taken at HQ mode are slightly better then those taken at HDR mode.
But it required to switch from HDR mode manually every time you use the camera app.
Is there any way to lock at HQ mode?
Is HQ mode even available on the OnePlus 5? Can you post screenshots showing it?

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.
Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture
And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3
I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".
i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1
I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Which version are you using exactly?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7vk4UhGJqI0dEJWYlhlSDNwdWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.

Here you are. I extracted from /data/app.
Does anyone else have a problem with video recording? No matter which app I use the camera hunts for focus occasionally resulting in the frame zooming in and out, or out and in, slightly. I can't manage to get more than 3/5 seconds of rock solid framing?
I have the same issue (LineageOS 14.1) and came here to ask which app I should use to avoid this problem!
This video shows the refocusing really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCcEp3oD4aY

Do you use the stock ROM or a custom ROM like I do?
Maybe ZTE will repair your phone?

It looks like your camera is refocussing a lot more frequently than mine!
I'm running the Stock ROM and camera app at the moment. I don't think it's a hardware problem as the camera does not refocuss when taking a still photo.
I can't have ZTE look at it as there's no service center in the UK (and I bought it from Gearbest).

You are right! :good: I changed the 'touch focus duration' in the LOS camera app from '0s' to 'infinite' and now the focus does only change if I click elsewhere!
There should a similar setting in the stock camera app!

Can you upload a screenshot of the video settings?
You mean 'Open Camera' (Camera App) - https://f-droid.org/app/net.sourceforge.opencamera? Which setting you changed? I had no refocussing without changing any setting.

Using Open Camera has fixed the problem for me!
The stock camera app only seems to have fixed focus settings for the stills camera!

Yes it took a while to find the settings! The continuous autofocus setting ("c") causes my Mini to hunt for focus every 2/3 seconds. All the other settings work as expected with no hunting.
Doh! I've just found that you can lock focus and exposure using the Stock camera app! You just need to long press on the target circle after you have selected the object you want to focus on.
https://youtu.be/Un0FJCYKTcM?t=216
Once locked you can choose another object to focus another and it will lock focus on that without having to long press again.
