As the title says, no matter what lighting the room has, there is a constant flickering flashing light in every single recording it's incredibly annoying. Is there anyway to fix this or?
The slow motion in general seems in need of some tweaking. I notice this too, along with skipped frames, and choppy Ness. Hope it gets addressed. But no don't know how to fix it.

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 there!
Occasionally, when using the slow motion setting the video will record, play back in slow motion, but the fps will not be up to par - as in, it'll be set to 240 fps but will most definitely look choppier and not as smooth as I know it should be. A restart of the phone usually fixes this but there's no way to tell if it's not working until I record a video and play it back. Any one else experiencing this? Also, all the sample slo-mo videos online look so crisp and clear, while my videos tend to look pretty noisy, even with decent light. Any input is appreciated.
I've had issues when viewing the videos in Google Photos as well. Not sure if it's related to the video or other HDR photos still processing, or just Google Photos doing whatever it does to index them. I have sync set to charging only and wifi only, but when I was at my grandma's house taking videos of her dog jumping and doing tricks, when I played them back they would play OK the first time, but if I started moving the sliders and jumping to different spots in the video, it would freeze up or get really choppy.
Hoping it will be fixed with an app update soon.
I am having the exact same issue you described. It's not a playback issue. It's choppy even played back on a computer.
It is supposed to capture at 240 fps and stretch that out into a 30 fps video file. Look at the properties of a slow-mo video file, it should say something like 29 fps. When mine isn't working correctly, and the playback isn't smooth, that video file's properties says 7 fps. So, it seems like it's capturing 4 times slower than it's supposed to, at 60 fps or something.
Restarting my phone fixes it, for a few days. I've only had the phone a couple weeks and have had this happen twice now. No clue why this happens. Surely it's more widespread than just us.
As for the grainy noise, you have to have a lot of light, more than you'd need for a normal video. Mine are pretty grainy unless there's a ton of light.
Yeah, mine becomes choppy too sometimes. A reboot fixes it for a while. I've seen this issue posted a few different places so I think it's a software/firmware problem that Google will need to resolve.
Just wanted to add that I have the exact same problem, meaning that it still hasn't been fixed.
I know this is an old post, but I just got a 6p and I too have this issue. I'm even on DP4 so it's not fixed yet in this release either... Reboot is the only temporary fix I've found.
I'm not sure if the system update or one of the recent camera updates is the culprit here, but quite a few (but far from all) of the videos taken with Motorola's stock camera end up out of sync. There is a quite significant (up to a second) delay between audio and video, both when playing it back on the device itself as well as when playing it anywhere else.
So not the playback, but the creation of these 1080p videos is somehow bugged. There also is little rhyme or reason why these specific videos are out of sync although it appears to possibly happen more with low light video recordings.

I've noticed this too. For me, this happens mostly when the battery is low. I have heard that big cores get shut off below a certain percentage, so perhaps this has something to do with it.
I've personally noticed the quality of the video capture is choppy. The 1080p 30 fps capture lags when moving objects are on the screen. For example, I shot a video of some quick hand movements (no jokes about male body parts here, please!) and the camera did not replicate them in real time. I would estimate a 200-400 MS delay in rendering.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I seem to be having issues with video recording and stutter. The settings are 1080p 60fps, being recorded to a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB. It's almost as if the phone can't keep up and it makes the end shot look terrible. Not to mention my auto focus is constantly readjusting and out of focus. Anyone else having similar issues and/or know a fix? Here's a quick example (warning a little loud).

I see the stuttering as the car pass (nice car by the way). I just bought the 7edge yesterday now i'm tempted to return it
Does anyone have any issues recording videos? I'm getting popping sounds occasionally, not all the time at the start of video recording for like a second. I also get frame rate stutter usually at the beginning of video recording. It's most noticeable at 4k and 1080p 60fps. I've tried different U3 micro SD cards, samsung pro and Sandusky extreme pro, and same results. Internal storage too. I can't find a way to reliably record videos. Do I need to factory reset? If so that's major annoying. Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing something similar. Thanks guys.
The issue is also more apparent when there's bad reception as well? It happens in good too but less frequent. Alsmost to the point I'm ready to give up on this phone. Again, doesn't happen consistently but it has to be either hw or sw fault. Most likely sw.
