Hello,
I recently purchased an AXON 7 and really enjoy using it. I was in the camera app and noticed that the slow motion quality is much worse than it should be. I went to the settings to change the quality, and the option to change the quality was greyed out and stuck at 720p. I've already tried wiping the cache and resetting app settings, and nothing has worked. If anyone could help me fix this issue it would be really appreciated!
There's nothing wrong with your phone. The Axon 7 only shoots slow motion 120 FPS and 240 FPS at 720p. In the normal shooting mode, you can set the video to 60 FPS at 1080p if you want a crisper image but with less room to slow down the footage. Otherwise, that's it.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I would change the options but i can't since the drop down menu doesn't allow me to change it. Is there any other way to fix this issue?
To change the "slow motion" options, you press the fractions on the bottom left of the slow motion screen, i.e. 1/4 or 1/8. These determine how slow the 720p footage goes.
For 1080p 60 FPS, go to the regular video recording accessed by a swipe to the right, or by pressing video, on the main camera page and then press the gear cog on the top left. Then select 1080p 60FPS. You will have to slow it down yourself in a video editor but it is an overall better image.
Hope that helps.

How can I get to camera settings? i took video and uploaded it to Youtube and saw that the highest resolution was 420p. This phone advertises 720p quality. I cannot find how to set it to 720p. Has this happened to anyone else?
When you are in the camcorder, the last setting on the right side of the capture screen, change that to HD(30m).
Thank you, I have no idea how I did not see that!
could it be the app converted it if you actually used the hd 30m
Going to try to explain this... When I'm using the stock Camera app, the picture is normal. But when I switch to Camcorder, it seems to be automatically zoomed in quite a bit. And when I try to zoom out, it says that since I'm recording in HD, zoom functions are not available.
This is kind of annoying because now I have to step back probably 5 feet to fill the same frame of when I was taking photos.
Is this normal for everyone else too? Or do I have some weird glitch on my unrooted and pure stock ROM?
Yep, mine does it too (stock rom). It only does that in FullHD resolution. I guess the only use middle part of the sensor to read the data to achieve greater speeds, and thus it's gonna be a hardware limitation.
Who need HD anyway ? The lens hardly catch with it. I record 720x480 and I'm very pleased with teh quality.
Change the video recording resolution in the settings pane to 1280x720 and that should fix your problem.

Yeah I noticed that.
But that doesn't make sense. In photo mode, same resolution as video mode but in video mode it's zoomed in. Like Dr. Sid said, it seems that it uses a smaller section of the image sensor to capture video. Which again doesn't make sense. Weird.
This is definetly a speed optimization - scaling down the whole resolution of camera sensor from 3264*2448 -> 1080p is much more expensive operation than just cropping the central pixels, i assume someone at samsung was VERY lazy to have done the camcorder mode in such a lame way, it's still ok for recording outside scenes but useless for in-room recording.
I find this quite annoying also. At first I was wondering if it is a ROM glitch or something, since some of the people here stated that even in stock ROM it is present also.
I hope there is some kind of patch to this, full HD recording is really awesome and I hate to see the 'zoomed' effect.
Yeah noticed the same thing just last night.. Seems to also affect the camera's ability to focus properly in video capture mode as well... Shame on them, I wish I had noticed this sooner.
Okay so I recorded some really cool slow motion shots. I can go into the edit screen and select the exact spot the slow motion should be. But when I go to send/post it the the video is completely in slow motion. Nothing in normal speed at all. Help?
No help needed, that is normal.
The entire video is slow motion, software speeds it up, and doesn't save it that way as it doesn't save a video.
There's another thread on this - somewhere - take a look for it for more info.
Use a screen recorded to record the playback of the show motion. Then edit in a video. You can use Google play games screen recorder.
Hello,
I would like to know how can you record 4K 60 fps Videos in HDR?
Thank you very much indeed.
Best regards

No one?
open camera, switch to video, touch top left icon showing video size, and choose icon on far right side
Installed gcam. But when trying to take slow-motion video the image become darker and the video is unstable (bad fps than normal video). Need to know if it is my problem or a general issue. Is there any fix? Also cannot change fps from 120.

Our device doesn't supports slo mo videos. So even if the camera has the option to shoot it, it won't give the satisfactory result.
