What the heck? 240fps - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know about you guys, but when I try to use slow mo its super super grainy. Is there something wrong?

It's because the resolution is dropped to 720p and the amount of light it can pull it taking 240 pictures a second is limited. You basically need to have nearly perfect lighting for it to look good.

Ah, gotcha . I was really caught off guard. Like I thought the camera took a dump in that moment, which I guess it did.

Is a nexus dude. Never expect its camera to work as expected.

While this camera is really good, there is a hint of reality in that post.

Yeah same for me grainy as f&#k.

My 240 videos are real choppy in playback. I have plenty of light. Anyone else with this problem? This is viewing it in Google photos on the phone. Also when you hit the site motion button on playback, it says edit to adjust speed. I can only select what part of the video plays in snow motion (which is choppy) when I select edit. Isn't there aa 1x 2x etc. Playback option?

Never mind! I saw someone posted a restart fixed the issue and it did. I haven't restarted it since I got the phone.

That's why you have tap to focus so you can tell the thing what you want it to focus on. It's really simple, you want it to focus on something in the video just tap on it on the screen and woah! It will remain focused on it.

Resolution 1920x1080, anti-shake on, video quality superfine, the rest were set to default.
I can record and play back in 1080 on the phone, but I cant seem to play back the files on the computer without the image breaking up into a blocky mess. I'm using VLC to play them. Has anybody else come across this issue? 720 is fine. I thought it was the sd card, but even recording to the phone gets the same issue. Weird.
Well,
I see most annoying problem from SGS2 known as Video Stutter or frame drop issue has migrated to SGS3: http://mobile-review.com/review/imag...hoto/video.mp4
"Frame drop issue" printscreen from mediafire (min:13, max:39), but should be within range of 26-35.
PS: Exchanged mine SGS2 6 times, until got proper one camera module.
Galaxy Nexus records way better 1080p.

[Q] Camera Issues: Skewed Images

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the photos taken with the default camera app is a little skewed at the edges?
The camera is great for macro shots but when shots are taken from a distance, I can't help but notice that the subjects on the edges get distorted or stretched.
It would be nice if we shared our experiences on this. After all, this phone was touted to have the best camera at the time of the launch.
Thanks.

I feel this may be a hardware issue and not just a software glitch as I have noticed the same distortions with the in-built Charm Cam App. It could possibly have something to do with the lens alignments or maybe it's just an isolated case with my phone. But I have no means to verify my allegations as I don't have another phone to carry out comparisons.
In any case, I request other owners to please share your findings with regards to the image quality on this camera.

The primary reason i found for noise is that iso gets too high in auto mode.it might just be software issue. But we dont have other phone with same hardware(OV 16825)
Since kernal sources are avilable i hope they provide some light
Also as the camera is capable of [email protected] 60fps i would like if some dev removes this constrain of [email protected]

I took a 1080p video and found no distortion along edges this in theory proves it is not due to hardware problem i.e. lens alingment

who said we dont have image stabilization...check the ov16825 details on website..it has EIS..i know its not that great compared to OIS or OIS+...and for ur question y ppl want 4k videos...they can record 4k videos which they can preserve as a memory for later on...why we click pics record video for capturing memory only na...i know getting a 4k TV is not easy as it cost too much...but if the system has the functionality why cant we enable it with the powers of devs...

snapchat quality?

Is the camera quality on snapchat with the 6p good like stock camera app? I have a lg v10 and its very fuzzy and grainy and am thinking of switching to the 6p if the cameras are good.
The reason Snapchat pictures suck is because they basically take a screen shot of the video instead of using the actual camera app. So every phone will take poor snap chats when compared to the stock camera app.

Only happens on android. Search reddit for discussions for this and the reasons why, but essentially the CEO hates android 'apparently' and is an iOS person.

not sure where you got this info but i doubt its true. Mainly because when you go to record a video, the front facing camera zooms in a little which is exactly what the google camera app does when you switch from photo to video.

Snapchat for me has been really nice and crisp. Basically like taking a photo with the normal camera. Plus having an 8mp camera for the front facing makes them super clean. Although when recording video with it, the exposure goes way down and thats really annoying. I don't know anything about what that guy said but my Nexus 6P takes hella good pictures whether on snapchat (which i use A LOT) or on the camera app

Thats good to know ! i think im going to find someone to trade me a 6p for my v10. So on the 6p there isnt noise in the photo and looks clear like original camera app? Every LG phone i had g2,g3,g4 and this v10 all had that problem on snapchat, not sure if they arent optimized or what.

It is true. Feel free to Google it, it is a commonly known thing nowadays. There is a difference between Snapchat photos and actual photos with the FFC, fact.

Galaxy S7 camera trembles

Hi all,
I haven't been used any phone which have optical image stabilization (OIS). I decide to buy a new Galaxy S7. I come to a store and give some tests. When I zoom in and take some photos using volume down button, I see camera trembles. When I restart the camera app, everything is back to normal. This happened twice.
Please help to check this video:
(sorry that I don't have enough 10 posts to post link here)
youtube.com/watch?v=7yhz4S7mM5g
So, it's a major problem or is it ok? Why did the camera tremble? And does this happen to other phone which support OIS camera?

It should be for the camera too. Ois is mechanical is it not? So if its video or pictures it should stable out. I would think

I just did it. Seemed pretty stable to me. It's going to move a little bit but it wasn't jerky. It was more of smooth left and right ups and downs

Turn off Video Stabilization in the settings, because that is software stabilization. It will switch to OIS if you turn it off.
IOS is always on for photos or video. here is a good look.. go to 6:15
I don't think you can turn off ois. It's literally a floating lense. All it does is reduce micro movements you make by letting the lense float and not react immediately with your body movements. If you point it at something and move slightly you will notice it takes a second to sort of drift over on screen. Pretty cool.

camera problem

1. When i try taking pictures using the stock camera app i get a full view but when i try to record a video i get a zoomed in view. Why is that?
2. In indoor lighting when i try to record a video it continuously shifts from blurred view to clear view. Why?
Is it only on my phone or in every phone?
If you know anything about this please reply.
Update: found the solution for first problem. It's because of image stabilization being turned on. But can't we record a stabilized video in full view?

1. Its due to EIS. It works on cropping out the video to provide a stable video. If you had OIS hardware on the phone, the video would be full view.
2. Autofocus issues. Try other camera apps and see. Like Open Camera App.

Just stick to other cameras like Google camera port. Its the best I have seen as of now for our phones. The stock camera is a snapdragon camera. Nothing can be modded as of now

You can record a video, open Google photos and then stabilize it. The output might not be great for super shaky videos but it will do the magic of almost all videos without cropping much
