Hello, so I noticed it New Years Eve and am just getting around to looking into it. But I believe it was the first time I went to record after the latest update for my Verizon G2.
Now it will not focus for crap in video. There is no way to selective focus and my work around is it focus in Camera mode, then flip to video mode. Anyone else have this issue?

I have noticed a problem with the video recording on my HD2 as of lately. When I get ready to record a video the image on the screen is sharp. As soon as I hit the record button the image goes out of focus and is no longer sharp. As soon as I stop recording the image on the screen is sharp again. I don't remember it doing this when I first got the phone. I'm not sure if I changed something in the registry to cause this problem or not. Has anyone else heard of this happening or know of a way to fix it? I searched, but it does not look like others have posted this issue before.
Thanks
P.S. Here are my video settings as of now.
Resolution VGA (640x480)
Review Duration: No Review
Capture Format: MPEG4
Sharpness +5
Sounds like the auto focus is some how messing up. Could be something on the lens that is making out of focus or something. Not sure what else would cause that. If you are running a cooked rom maybe try reflashing it.
The lens is clean and the camera focus is fine in camera mode. It will also focus fine in video mode until the second I hit the record button. The focus issue only occurs when I hit record to capture a video.
Am I really the only person with this problem?
I also have this problem but with the normal HD2, the camera for pictures works fine. The problem occurs when recording video, first its all clear..hit record...blurry...im not sure what to do :O
Glad to know I'm not alone in this problem. I tried to record a quick clip today at work, and the camera was actually able to stay in focus when I hit the record button. Here is the sample clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB70tTDl1t0
This is the best quality I have been able to get out of it. I'm going to keep messing with it to see if anything changes.

Here too, its best just to view on it the computer, just wish HTC would have added a better sensor, or some one make better drivers
Is there any way to turn off continuous autofocus in video mode? It makes still video pretty much unusable when it's constantly refocusing every 5-10 seconds. It's really distracting when watching the video back.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Does this not bother anyone else?
I use the S4 for filming on a tripod, and I basically can't use any of the footage because of the continuous autofocusing.
I recently tried lgCamera, it seems to have the focus options I need, but isn't really compatible with the S4 yet. The most it will capture is 15 FPS.
Suggestions?
Hi
At one time I tried to record a video where zoom in and out was used. The problem was that the zoom out after zooming in for some minutes causes the video on display and the recorded file to become corrupted on the right side of the video.
Can any one verify this problem ?
That was the first trying to record a video on the new phone on a particular occasion and a surprising issue was on display.
Then I didn't use the camera at all for few weeks.
Then after a few week trying to replicate the issue and it was reproducible.
What do you think?
So no body is interested in this issue or is it just my phone?
I've not really used my Z2 for video much.
I was at my kids nativity play and tried to do so, but the camera was constantly autofocussing and the footage is unwatchable.
Nobody else with different phones had this issue.
I tried setting it to manual and also played with different focussing modes and it was just the same.
Has anyone else had this issue, is it hardware or software. I have a feeling it may be connected to the facial recognition, but like I say it produced awful footage and part of the reason for buying this phone was the superior camera.
Trying to work out if it is faulty and should be returned.
Thanks

A question - is this a video recording problem only or its the same with photo focusing.And second - try recording a video wothout video stabilisation option enabled / stead shot - off. Metering - Multi / centre. or spot - tap the screen where you want to get a focus.If this does not help - reinstall the firmware - and if this doesn't work aswell give it to repair.
Thanks.
I have only really noticed it on video. There were a lot of kids and i suspect yhe facial focus stuff was getting confused, but i turned off most of the stuff you suggested and it still did it.
I am struggling to reproduce this issue, so whether hardware or software it does appear to be that scenario that sets it off. Will maybe go somewhere busy and try and play.
Have downloaded the basic google camera to see if that does the same.
Thanks
So guys i just bought the handset today.
Everything was running smooth until i turned on the manual mode and started focussing manually, a clicking noise came from the camera everytime i change the focuss.
A little bit of noise is also there even when using auto mode.
I wanted to know if this issue is with everyone or it's just with mine.
Same problem here, like a shutter sound every time i switch from front camera to rear.
Have you try something to fix it? i haven't this problem on nougat.
