Is it me or the HD2's camera does not refocus when recording video?
Scenario: start video recording with a close up subject and then move to capture an object in the distance. The camera does not refocus. ...and neither did the HD. This would be a nice thing to have!
The camera does not perform auto-focus during video recording. why? - good q.
+1. Would be nice if Damien could come out with some tweak for this.
i would also like this, its really annoying nd makes sum videos come out fuzzy...anyone kno a fix
can't believe no one else has identified this problem, thiers no refocus once you start a video lol.... what a dumb problem... i am sure this cold be fixed easily if somone looked into it..
Very curious about this too.
hey guys, just wondering if guys have any problem on camera using video record mode? mine is blurry. cant focus like when shooting photos. any suggestions?
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.
Hi,
I woul like to ask you if is some option how to get HDR video capture - becouse the last update did not have it (in our country). Does it exist some apk file with ?
I like the Galaxy s4 but the HDR video capture sometimes missing...
Thaks for your answers
Hi, is it possible to get video stabilization in nokia 6 2017
? Is not it possible using camera 2 api? or any Google camera Moded out there? can't we get live video stabilization?
i think we can enable video stabilization using open camera by enabling 'camera 2 api' from settings, but i don't think video stabilization actually works by using open cam, seems like nothing changes but you guys can tell the difference if their is !
