I noticed that my S7E camera is notchy when zooming in during video recording. Unlike the Note4 phone that has a smooth zoom. Is there something in the settings that im missing or is it just how the S7 is? I thought the S7 had the best camera. This is only when shooting video and zooming in and out. Even if done slowly it steps. Other than this everything is thumbs up.

For some reason the video mode is zoomed in, a lot, compared to the regular camera. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's very annoying.
This only started after the ICS update, before that there was a zoom slider, now its gone, and its stuck on zoomed in.
I've always seen it zoomed in since Honeycomb. I don't like it either.

It 's very bad , the camera has a very small viewing angle and it seems to me that it is much better and much higher angle shot of the Samsung Galaxy Note phone , who knows maybe some updates and a fix if possible ?
I've had my G2 for about a week now and love it so far.
But there is one issue which irritates me, the camera. It does take a good picture and I like the 60fps 1080p. But these work best outside or in really good light.
I tried to take a video of my 11 month old son with the camera indoor and I noticed that even at 60fps, the framerate on the screen could not be more than about 20. The picture quality was not good either, lacking detail, blurry.
This translates to pictures too and perhaps the most annoying feature. When taking pictures the camera just takes ages to snap that picture. I tried to capture a moment of my son and after pressing the shutter button, I counted to 5 before the shot was taken. No good for those moments you want to capture.
Any ideas to any of this? Is it by design? Or is my phone faulty?
I've read the video stabilization option is software related and some have turned off on the s6 to only utilize the OIS hardware. What is the best setting for our S7 edges? My last phone was the S4 this camera is leaps and bounds over that but I've noticed if I shake the phone a bit while recording video is does seem to show that in the video on playback. I've never owned a phone or camera with OIS so is OIS just for small hand tremors or something ? Thank you!
ois is for stabilizing the photo or video but it's not completely fool proof. You can take 2 videos one with ois on and another with it off. In my testing the one with it off is more shaky while the one with it on makes the recording look more fluid if that makes sense. Shakes are still seen just not as jerky or harsh.
I personally like it off (just OIS, no EIS). Turning software stabilization on did make the video slightly smoother, but it also caused some edges to appear odd (fuzzy / jittery).

Thanks Buddy
Also wanted to know how to change these Pre set options

Hey guys ,
We all know samsung outdone itself by creating a masterpiece in rear cam photography with s7 edge , its actually better than any camera in market if considered overall result.
But somehow i found that its video performance is not that good or may be its just my device.
I got samsung made sensor.
While recording in 4k , zooming in and out has obvious stutter and frame rate drop as well as when u move focus it stutters n give bad feel overall to video
When using at 60fpd , focus problem and at 1080p when shooting closely it gives waxy feel of object far from their natural form.
When compared it to my s6 edge , results were surprising , s6 edge produced better videos , nonstutter when shooting at 4k , no zoom in n out problem no problem when moving focus , Even 1080p at 60fps give better results (some advantage of larger sensor is there but still s7 takes more time to save 4k video too and video quality is not comparable to s6 edge , although its vice versa when taking still photos.
Anyone else with similar case??
A70 is so nice I almost pulled the trigger on it, when during testing I noticed... huh? No Motion Picture in photos?
I checked Samsung's page and it's true, there is no Motion Picture for A-series phones.
I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but with 2 small kids this feature (I'm using SGS7 now) paid itself in gold - not the moving part, but the fact that I can effortlessly "rewind time". Those with children know that they can do something magical for few seconds, and by the time you snapped photo it's already gone - well, with Motion Photo the phone is saving sensor output from camera app start. This means that I can trigger camera when puling the phone from my pocket, aim, snap photo, then rewind 3 frames back and save THAT picture.
I tested Gcam and while it has similar feature, it's not nearly as polished - first, Samsung's saves frames only BEFORE snapping the photo, second, it's much more difficult to crop single frame, third - the picture quality of Samsung Motion Photo is far, far superior compared to that from Gcam.
So my question is - is this app or processing system limitation? If it's the app, is it possible to use camera app from e.g. SGS10 to get Motion Picture?
Maybe we should wait for a camera app port from s10 to get motion photo and also to get pro mode

It's an app limitation. You can use other cam apps from play store for motion picture though.
I've installed Gcam (google photos apk) and I can make Motion Photos with it. It's a shame samsung does not update A70 firmware to be able to make these too.
Just make sure you install a compatible Gcam version. Not all of them are. Search google for "a70 gcam" and you'll find one which is compatible.
