Nexus 6P on 240fps Flickering / Blurry / Pixelated - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
I really couldn't find any thread to my issue... So I started this one... I hope this is okay.
I got my N6P yesterday and so far I love this device.
But something is very weird for me... When I take a video with 240fps the result is very pixelated, Blurry and Flickering
I uploaded a video I took on YouTube... Could somebody please tell me... Is this normal?

Or do I need to give it back?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Regards
Jay

Me and my brother have this issue on our 6Ps as well

The graininess/pixelation is from the low light. The flickering is from the light source itself. Mine do the same thing in my living room where I use LED lights. It has to do with the fact that the lights are actually flickering very quickly, too fast for your eyes to see. When the video is recording at such high FPS, it can see the flickering of the light. Using different light sources will help limit the flickering, such as filming outside or with constant light from a different type of bulb.
Here is a video shot with my 6p outside in the late afternoon with the sun partially set, but still a lot of natural light: https://goo.gl/photos/caUHhnVCFR2AoSu68
Here is another one shot in a house lit with fluorescent (or maybe LED) bulbs, which show the grainy picture from low light, and the flickering: https://goo.gl/photos/nM4K6NGZbRJwTd776
Both shot on the same Nexus 6p, both normal.

Camera Flash

When taking pictures in a dark environment, the camera flash on my EVO darn near blinds whoever I'm taking pictures of, resulting in a bunch of "I just smelled sh*t" faces. Anybody have any idea on how to maybe dim the flash without turning it off altogether?
I would really like to see an answert to this...and also to an issue with the flash that I have experienced. It seems that, with no consistency or reason that I can discern, the flash goes "blue" and results in a picture with an overall blue tint. Any ideas?
most LED flashes do it, i just deal with it
I think a better idea is to have the flash on at a low level so your subject knows where to look, and then the moment you click the flash goes 100%. My old touch pro did that but I don't know why EVO will not?
The light meter on this phone is slow, and it takes a while for the exposure to adjust to the very bright LED lighting. I Also think the WB is off on a lot of pictures as well. Lets hope HTC and Sprint fixes this because the camera and camcorder could be a LOT better than they are.
it would be nice if we could turn off one of the leds as an option which would help with close nite time pictures

Nexus 4 Camera Problem or something else?

Today i experienced a strange problem with the Nexus 4 Camera. I took some pictures of a kid playing in the park. It was the day time around 1:30 PM and the weather was somewhat cloudy. The pictures in which the kid stood still were good but in which he was running or moving the showed strange ghosting kind of effect in them. I have attached the photographs here. Look at the face of the kid how it seems distorted. Does anybody else experienced a similar issue.
The camera settings were on Auto and HDR was enabled during the shoot.
Nothing wrong with the camera, just the setting. HDR mode shouldn't be used to capture motion. Only use it for still objects/scenery

The ghosting is normal as the phone actually takes 2 pictures at different exposure brackets. If your hand moves between shots then the algorithm will have a hard time merging them.
Yeah it's HDR that's causing it.
Right, that what i was thinking. Ghosting is quite different from the effect in these pictures. Must be HDR. i did not get time to experiment with turning it off. but i'll try again.
Thanx for the replies.

HTC U Ultra, Camera Pixel defect

Hi
When i zoom the camera to the maximum on a dark surface, i see some pixels playing to white and black on the screen, just like dead pixels on lcd. Did you realize anything like that ?
To test, set the brightness to maximum, put the phone on a table or something, on camera face, set the zoom to the mximum, and see the playing 10-15 pixels on the screen
Is it normal ?
Thx

Sounds like high ISO noise, try using pro mode and setting the ISO to 100.
You might get litres noise.
I wouldn't worry though, it's not like this is under normal shooting conditions. If you weren't zoomed in all the way on a dark surface you wouldn't get the issue.
I'd be more concerned with black pixels when zoomed in fully on a brightly lit white surface.
Some pictures of what you're seeing might help us help you better.

Agreed.. besides OP, how on earth did you discover that... that could be any number of things... as wiccan said, could be ISO, could be laser reflection from the surface, could be phase detection or auto focus error... could be anything...
the only time you should worry about dead pixels is.. if your standard images have white/black squares on them or your LCD has empty pixels.. but other than that.. putting your phjne on a surface, lense down over with the camera on... well that could show anything...
Thanks for the replies. When i zoom on a white surface, there is no dead pixel, that is a good thing. I just wanted to share it, because my old one m8 does not have anything like that and everytime same pixels on the screen flickers. Anyway, trying to joy of using my ultra.
Thx

Camera white balance issues

Howdy, a quick question. Has anybody noticed with the Mate 9 camera that the colors get quite over saturated (especially the skin color) when the photo is taken under artificial light (i.e. incandescent or fluorescent)?
I've had the Mate 9 now about a week and otherwise the great camera really struggles with the white balance in certain lighting conditions.
My previous phone was Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the camera took some really really good photos.
Thanks.
I noticed more general difficulties of all kind of digital cameras with artificial light. Especially with led or energy-saving bulbs or even fluorescent tubes, ranging from focussing problems over incorrect white balance and saturation to some kind of miscolored yellowish waves.
I have almost the same problem. Photos are useless in bright light. whenever there is bright white color the camera cannot handle it. the result is a photo taken with very cheap camera. useless. Anyone know how to fix it? is it a software or hardware problem?
Never got issues with white objects even on artificial light...! Camera performing well... No blur
I have two Mate 9 here. Both cameras working very well in a way that I sometimes let my Nex at home. They do not better than the Nex but good enough. I have the impression that the one with Nougat works better than Oreo in dark situations, pictures have less noise.
White coloured objects are no problem at all.

HDR screen flickering

Since OnePlus 7pro might have HDR 10+ I checked to see how nice my S10+ screen looks again. Well, to my surprise the screen would flicker playing a YouTube video in the zoomed to fill in. When I would put to original there wasn't any flickering. So last night I'm freaking out that I have an issue with my phone. So this morning I started to do some basic trouble shooting steps before I call Samsung. I put the phone into safe mode and the flickering went away.. well, now I was really baffled because my phone is setup just like my note 9. So I brought the phone back in a dark room in safe mode and the screen flickered like it did last night in my dark bedroom. I have a feeling my ambient light sensor freaks out when the HDR content is being played. I'm not sure if this is just my phone's issue or if this is widespread. Can anyone else check their phone playing HDR content in the dark? Flickering or no flickering of the screen. It's not a constant flicker but it's very often and obvious when it happens. I'll get a link to a video of my phone doing it soon...

Also, I just tried to show someone and it wouldn't happen until I turned the brightness halfway up in a completely dark room. When I did it flickered on and off depending on the scene. It'll even flicker at 1080p HDR not just 1440p HDR. During the scene it's flickering in I can pause the HDR video and it'll continue to flicker.

Thanks stranger.. Lol
Samsung customer service is brutally bad!
I'll be heading into best buy to show them the same issue the Reddit user posted.. hopefully I can get this resolved. Minus the $70 loss in screen protector and body wrap..
Anyone running into this issue?
