This is what your phone looks like after 36gb of 4K DCI recording

I recorded a whole bunch of 4K at a concert last night. The phone got hot and my battery drained at over 60% an hour!
I'll post some of the video after it finishes uploading.

Thought I'd share. I didn't feel that this fit into either the battery thread or the camera thread, respectively, which is why I made a separate topic. My apologies if this assumption was incorrect.

Probably just record 1080p lol an hour of recording is a long time for a phone. Especially considering the processor, battery, and screen will be producing heat the whole time.

Thanks @bfranklin1986, I could've tried harder I suppose lol.

Oh but I loved it! It's so crisp and clear! You lose the ability to take pictures during recording, but who needs to when your essentially taking 30 8mp pictures a second??

I cannot wait
Mine is in the mail now I cannot wait to try out the 4k recording feature.

I was kind of hoping for at least a clip of the footage.

It's normal to see this draining by a 4k record and encoding. BTW, why you recorded in 4k? Do you have any 4k TV in house?

I don't know, 4K seems like it takes a lot of horsepower to record, so the drain seems about right, to me anyway.
Although the new go pro records 4K but keeps the same battery life as the old models without it, but then again that is specialized hardware.
I do not have a 4K TV sadly, but I figured I could pull 8mp stills from the video
Here is one of the clips with the best audio, because the bass there completely overwhelmed the microphone on most the others lol.

Yes, I update YouTube every time there's an update on the Play Store.
Both of those videos you sent me play in 1440p just fine. It may just be your connection. YouTube won't stream in high quality unless it detects a high speed connection.

Me too, so it's not that either.
I honestly have no idea, but I suspect it's a problem on Google's side, not the phone's.

Try tubemate. It gives every available resolution in every possible connection n device. BTW you can use 3rd party players with tubemate too which is a good thing if you use MX player. Download the tubemate apk. There's no playstore version. My YouTube doesn't even give more than 480p. It's just device oriented. It will not give you higher res than your phone's display res.

Sign out of youtube, in app manager, force stop youtube, clear cache and data. Sign in to youtube. You may need to fo it few time untill 1440 option become avaiable. Sometimes helps restarting phone before signing in to youtube.

Camera (video) suggestions

I like Cabrera on this phone photos with proshot are awesome.
However I've not seen many video camera apps, can you guys share which are your favorite and key features if possible thanks.
I'm using default video capture (on benzo ROM) for now but I've not figured out slow motion setting of camera

Cinema FV-5.... it has a lot of the manual controls that are available from Camera FV-5.. one thing I really like is that you can set it fix focus, then have the volume down set to refocus (or you can tap the screen). This will eliminate the Google Camera's tendency to refocus a little bit too often.
As far slow motion, not sure if there are any 3rd party video apps that'll do that.

To do slow motion on this phone its at the top right, right beside the flash icon. You tap it once for 120 and then again for 240 fps

I mean, it should've updated itself regardless of being stock or not unless you have auto updates off. But you should see the slow motion option now when in video mode, and you may noticed improve photo quality as well.

Proshot has a video mode with manual controls too.
Filmic Pro is great if you want to use your phone for more serious videos.

Does this phone have the ability to take photos while shooting video. My last phone was a htc max one and it was able to do that.

S7 video quality issues

Got my S7 edge late Friday night and took it to the beach to test out on Saturday.
I have to say, I'm taking it back if the issue I experienced isn't fixable.
https://youtu.be/6pCRRbB-Zh4
The video in the link was filmed in FHD 60 FPS, and the issue is the 'color banding' or fragmentation visible in the color of the sky throughout the recordings. Instead of being a smooth backdrop, the colors of the sky frequently seem to fragment /group up and become blocky, almost like the video is poorly compressed. Particularly visible from 1:15 onwards.
I watched someone else's video sample online and it didn't seem to suffer the same issue. Ive had a look at the settings and can't seem to see anything that may cause this. Anyone have any ideas or similar issues?

Bump - anyone else?

Let me help https://youtu.be/6pCRRbB-Zh4, now people can actually link to it. [emoji2] also I haven't seen this on mine.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Thanks @h3ck. I think I must have a dud device - this is a screenshot of the issue in 4k, too, taken directly from my phone.
I'm trying to work with Samsung now to work out what is wrong. Looks to be compression related.

I see what you mean, I haven't taken enough video to notice this, but when are you seeing this? After you export, after you upload, on the device itself, etc? Also, I noticed when I went to you video on YouTube it wasn't in 60fps. Not sure if you realized that.

This is actually from the device itself (the lock in the top corner is an s7 function and has appeared in the screenshot) - I think the fact the FHD version wasn't in 60FPS yet was maybe due to being uploaded recently - it's in 60FPS now. I've been testing this afternoon with my Note Edge - definitely better video quality on the old Note

I'm curious how it compares to s6. I had s6 and camera was magnificent. This one is supposed to be better.

I actually read a review that said the camera is better in low light but worse in daylight/where there are bright lights and/or sunlight. For me, it has a really similar effect to the old Ultrapixel cameras on the first couple of HTC Ones, i.e. when there is bright light in a photo, it just 'whites out' for want of a better word - completely loses all definition.
A photo of my living room with a lamp on just shows the lamp as a completely white orb, with no definition (Playing around with ISO and shutter speed don't help much at all.), whereas on my old Note Edge (same cam as the s6 I believe), you can make out the edges of the lamp.

What camera module do you have in your phone ? Sony IMX 260 or Samsung Britecell ? Install Aida64 to find out.

Hi CST - I have the Sony IMX

I think I see what the error is with the video. It looks like when you actually export the video the compression on it changes the quality. I would compare the actual video on the phone itself prior to exporting versus the video when it was exported. I see a significant degradation in video quality from post and pre exportation.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

So I read that YouTube doesn't even support 60fps on s7 edge yet (for viewing, so that explains why it wasn't an option for me). Secondly, what I previously mentioned holds true about conversion. Idk how people are keeping s7 video at 60 fps because mine seems to convert to plain 1080P when I trim the clip and export.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Update - playlist featuring 3 videos indicating the blockiness and compression artifacts can be found here - others are beginning to notice the same issue
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjb1yvLQUxljakYRkd-RlPr00COjSOCcw
Also, YouTube does allow 60fps - not sure where you read that. and this artifacting is visible on the phone - i have to use youtube to be able to share samples of the problem.

next time, you can upload the original video file to dropbox or pcloud , others can view it online or download it.

So, Youtube just enabled HDR for the S8(+)

Just noticed this on my S8+, suddenly have the option to enable HDR and the effect is dramatic. Only works when viewing in full screen. Also noticed that the cropping to enable the video to fill the entire screen doesnt work when HDR is on.
Tried it on my Tab S3 (which also is HDR Capable) and it isn't working...yet.
So if Netflix wont support HDR on the S8, Youtube just did.

EDIT : Youtube app wasn't updated yet. It's working now
I just have to enable through Xposed module the 4K video format on Youtube as it's not available natively and everything will be great !

Can confirm this on my S8+. It's not working on every single HDR video yet though.

Yes i have noticed that it's lagging specially when you watch it in 1440p 60fps HDR slows down the device also try to rotate the video. The same feeling when you try to watch a 4k video on 720p tv. Hope future updates solves the problem.

Same for me :/ I hope it will be updated soon..

Looks nice, thanks. I like HDR but I have to admit it makes colors seem oversaturated and brighter than real-life. It's like everyone and their brother posts oversaturated/color enhanced photos on social media, etc., right? Yeah, easy to do in photo-edit programs. But, it looks like HDR does it by default, which makes it pretty but also pretty darn unrealistic. I mean, seriously, just look out your window during the day and the colors aren't oversaturated like HDR! Oh well, still pretty.

Lol I used the hidden settings menu to turn on 2160p
I get like 3fps of 2160p hdr

Laggy
So not just I'm the one who experiences lags during 1080p 60fps hdr video playback on Galaxy s8?

Yeah YouTube hdr is buggy at best. Video stutters on 1080p 60 fps
