Nexus 6 Ultimate 4K Video Test

Change to 4K/2160p in Quality Settings! The only real compression is on youtube's side. And I will say I see a little better quality on my Master File than on youtube.
I decided to test the 4k video recording on the Nexus 6 by shooting my entire vacation with it. I've compiled a recap video showcasing the camera's abilities.
-There conditions recorded in are: high light, low light, sunny, overcast, indoors and outdoors, etc.
-I've zoomed in a few times and moved the phone to force refocus in a few clips.
-There has been NO post editing to the footage such as color correction, cropping, stabilizing, etc.
-Crossfading, fade to black, muting of audio, and title overlays are the only alterations made to compile this video
ENJOY!

Looks like OIS keeps making things a bit juttery and focusing in and out at times.

I've never tried. I doubt it

Then it's a hardware issue I assume.

No... But 3rd party cameras are not a complete solution. They use the existing libs and camera HAL etc, which is software.
But you can try it, who knows?

i need to look around to see if there are any apps that lock focus.
That would come in handy

Try with Cinema FV-5

I watched the whole thing before realizing my monitor at work isn't 4K
nice video - I'll have to watch it later at home to really see the quality. The focusing issue sucks and is really pronounced on this phone, I wonder if L Camera is any better at it.

I have that app in my wish list. Gotta do some more research to see if it offers what I want. I prefer simplicity like the stock app is designed, but I don't think google will ever include these especiall features.. Including 60/120/240 fps.

camera focus doesnt seem to be an issue with cinema fv-5. pretty sure its an android issue as my nexus 5 had the same problem (as mentioned above). anyway i just shot a few minutes of 4k video w cinema fv-5 and i dont see any re-focusing nonsense going on

Did you get to watch it in all its glory? Lol

Cinema FV-5 seems to fix the constant jittery focus issue. Wish I make this video test in that app instead

Manual Camera is, by far, the most feature-packed camera app for the Nexus 6. Full support with the new camera API's too ?

fv5 supports the new apis as well. i read manual camera has issues. like you can't zoom and theres no way to switch between front and rear cameras...
but on topic, does manual camera support video recording?

I hope they add 60/120 fps soon. That's the only camera feature I really want

Open camera supports everything people!!!! Just downloaded it and is now my default camera!!!! It support all resolutions for stills and recording, shows amount of memory left in real time, and a lot of other things and you get really check the options for a lot and best part of all its open source!!! So always free and never ad filled, I think Google should have hired this guy to make their camera app!

Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I started watching the video on my phone, then decided to stream it to my 42 inch flat screen tv to check out the quality on a larger scale, and then realized my 42 inch TV is lower resolution than my phone as a result. lol!
i was recently looking around for other camera apps so as to see how the device's ability to shoot in RAW compares to various cameras. I was considering trying FV5 but was checking out the free alternatives first.
I tried L Camera, which did let me adjust ISO, white balance, and so on, but it had some pretty major issues that need to be worked out still.
While I haven't tried FV5 yet (so I can't say much about that app specifically) I just tried out Open Camera (the above post caused me to remember it showing up in the app store several times while I was browsing) and wowee it's actually really good so far. Only one bug so far that I've encountered and it's very minor. The customization and various settings are really well thought out.
It says it can do 60/120 fps with a disclaimer that it may not always reach the designated fps if the hardware doesn't support it..so maybe?
auto-focus seemed quite a bit faster compared to google's stock camera app and it's much easier to adjust the lighting quickly than any other camera apps I've tried so far.
Right now the only thing I can really find "wrong" with it is the overall design and layout of the app, but it's not poorly designed at all.
I'll be using Open Camera as my default camera app until a major flaw presents itself or google amps up it's own app to compete. Very pleasantly surprised so far.

Awesome video and very helpful. Thank you.

shaky or "vibrating" video because of ois

I saw one review in YouTube which concluded that the v20 video ois wasn't as good as...(I can't remember which phone it was comparing it to)...But I just remembered it now....I took a video of my daughter's performance and I noticed it was...shaking or vibrating in some parts because my hand wasn't steady.
Vibrating seems the better description.
Anyways...I did some testing by taking videos and walking around..and from what I can conclude, taking videos as fhd produces that vibrating effect while taking aa video at fhd 60 was prefect.
Wish I knew that before I recorded my daughter's performance....

It was a video comparing to a Pixel. Pretty sad the OIS is worthless.

Noticed the poor IS. Wasn't happy about it. Hoping the fix it. I usually shoot 24-30fps which is supposed to be the sweet spot. No IS at full 4K which is expected. Tells me they're using EIS or basically just frame cropping in other words. It's what YouTube will apply to a video if you ask it. Wish they gave us an option to turn off all IS though so we can see just how well it really is working. I know I have shaky hands so maybe the little shaking I see is a massive improvement. Although, I guess I should try shooting 1080 with it on and 4K which has it off and see how different it is. Also, loud noise like video of certain bands seems to rattle the IS.

Yes the exact same jittery video hastened to me. But changing the video resolution one up gave me a prefect video. Maybe that's why the other video tests show the v20 as best.

I tried to use the V20 for a semi-professional video but it was no good. I had it on a gimbal to ensure it was very smooth, but the shots were "warbly". It was subtle, but made the footage unusable. I played back frame by frame in Premiere Pro and had a hard time pin pointing just what it was. It was like a jitter of some kind. I was shooting FHD 1080p 60 fps. I had to shoot at 60 fps to make it slow motion when I edited it.

Video quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Xiaomi Poco F1 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Unboxing, first impressions and camera use & EIS results
Hi people!
Here my five cents about tittle. Really impressed about EIS results, considering how the mobile was moving while walking.
Hope you like it!
thanks!

Too bad it doesn't have 1080p/60fps.

but i think it will soon, it's just a matter of software i think

Here , I tested 1080p 240fps , slow motion video ...
Pretty decent , slight autofocus problems, but if I held it still , and not with one hand, standing over my bike, i think it would be ok.

Good quality camera. But not happy about quality when zooming in.

Stereo recording
Hi, guys, anyone have inverted stereo on video? I tested it in recording when I tapped on the left mic first and then on the right mic. When I watched my video the first tap was from the right channel.

lmao come on guys theres no need for 5 stars this camera is mediocre maybe a 70% score, ois is necessary / non blurry eis to get any higher
+ even the poverty phones from xiaomi 200 usd$ have 1080p 60 fps, but its missing here idk why

4k 60 fps will be added soon. Stock camera is ****, agreed. Better use Gcam, which makes great results, and raw, particularly, looks perfect. Only downside for me is the lack of optical stabilization and second tele lens camera, but you get what you pay for.

Pixellated video on FB App
I moved on to POCO recently and found that while playing videos on FB app they look badly pixellated, especially the text parts. Youtube videos are fine. Replaced the phone, but still has the same issue. Any other person having this issue?

Loved It
Thank you

4K 60 fps + Bitrate 100Mbps for third-party video camera applications
Will 4K 60 fps support appear in third-party video camera applications?

Anyway the video quality is good enough for me. The only annoying thing is that videos dont have the photos great, wide angle of sight. I guess it's normal?

Good stabilisation and auto focus, not much more to say

4k video awful. Stutters and judders whenever you move. FHD+ not much better. Quality is also not sharp. A massive let down here.

Video quality not good terrible jittering ,i expecting more from this expensive phone

price asked has nothing to do with quality there are 200$ phones with crisp 4k video on the market

I got exact same feelings. The video quality is a bad joke...
Keeping my fingers crossed for a software update soon!

I spend a good hour at huawei booth and just couldn't get an explanation why there were jitters and dropped frames at 60 fps especially when panning. Also, 4k had few dropped frames and jitters but there was some sort of warping/bending at the sides of the screen. Again , no explanation.
So wanted to get this phone and am hoping someone has some answers why (perhaps it's ok when exported to pc?) or maybe some setting i'm not aware of?

Same here. Video quality suck and it always want to brighten the video when shot in a sligthly dark room. Hopefully there will be a fix but meanwhile snapchat app actually records better video than the default huawei app... Thats kind of embarrassing for huawei. It seems to be a sofwareissue.
Do anyone know any good external camera app to use?

Any one have the same problem like me.
No sound when making a video. When I restart the phone than sound comes back , but after a few more videos no more. I have now library of movies with no sound.

I'm using Cinema FV5, it's having a lot of manual settings, so I was able to shoot a video which looks quite more natural in low light.
Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk

I am not happy with video recording, pro mode options are limited and there's no dynamic control option i.e., you can't change settings while recording video other than zoom and focus. lot of pixel dropping in 4K, stabilization is good though, 146 has tweaked it well. another thing i noticed is long exposure shots with ISO 50 are giving lots of white dots or burnt pixels which are spoiling the photo shots. this means camera photo-detectors are not well ventilated for heat dissipation. also some of the features that Huawei boasted about such as cinematic mode are useless, low light videos are horrible...
only photo quality is good.

Slow mo
Hey guys, second post around... I've been testing super slow mo (960 fps) but the quality is a bit rubbish, the lense is the same as far as i know, and at 120 fps it takes good video, despite blurring everything at 0.6x... Do you have the same problem? Is there something I'm missing about slow motion video? Thanks!

Slow Motion is far better in Note 9. Big disappoint on Video recording on M20 Pro
Photos are great, Videos recorded are worse than $200 phone

I feel the same.
But both on Note 9 and Mate 20 Pro, the lack of manual focus on slow motion is sad. I lose lots and lots of opportunity for nice slowmo videos because they are out of focus (e.g., looking out the winodow of a moving train when entering the station). Simply being able to lock the focus would make it awesome.

4K video works fine for me
As long as you move smoothly the video is very nice as long as you are outside in good light. But first remember to use "performance mode". This is very important! Of corse the stabilization is not as good as in full HD;

4k30fps is not the way to go for smooth footage with any movement involved, let's hope the market still cares about Huawei in 2k20 until kirin 990 comes along

If you shoot video a lot, download Filmic Pro. It gives you full control on the camera. You'll be able to lock the focus and the exposure. Keep in mind that shooting 960fps video requires lots of lighting otherwise blur effect. The S9 has the same "issue". It is not an issue in fact it's just how it goes even for professional. Slow motion with bad lighting is a bad idea. Hope it helps

It depends a lot on what you shoot. and what texture you are looking for in your final footage. For more cinematic videos many will recommend 24fps. For slow motion high framerate. Shooting in 60fps you'll get a texture close to "real life". Hope it helps

Video recording in Iphone XSMax are gorgeous, better than Mate 20 Pro period. For Samsung S10 I don't know but my guess is that they are both better than Mate 20 Pro. Mate 20 Pro just do the work

the video recording quality is quite the disaster. i hope it is fixed in an update some point soon. i'm pretty sure my zte a7 has better video quality....sadly...

What's happening to my camera?

Hi, I don't know how but it is happening something weird with my camera.
Yesterday it was recording a video in 4K at 60fps and I zoomed to focus on a specific object which was on the table.
After having recorded video I watched it again and noticed that in moment of the video when I focused on the object, this object was out of sight, out of the shooting of the video.
To be specific I could only see part of this object. It seems absurd to me because when I took the video, the object was in the center of the screen

Hello, I just read you and I was very surprised, the exact same problem happens to me, when I record a video at 60 FPS in 4k with the zoom at maximum, when viewing the video you do not see what I have recorded.
The worst and most curious thing is that they have already changed my device 2 times and in all of them the same problem occurs, I have only found 2 more people who have the same problem.
The first phone that they changed me was in Amazon which is where I originally bought it, later, since they no longer wanted to change it, I contacted OnePlus directly where they changed the camera module 2 times and since the problem was not solved they gave me another new phone but my surprise is that the same problem keeps happening which leads me to think that it is a general problem in all or a series of devices.
I returned to claim oneplus and they asked me for tests, I sent several videos where the problem is clearly seen and they say that the technicians do not see anything strange which is false.
The problem happens with or without zoom but with zoom it is more evident, I have recorded things in motion such as a helicopter, a boat or cars among other things and then they are not seen in the recording, it is as if the camera that records the video does not is the one that shows the image on the screen when recording the video.
Try it but if the problem you have is the same as mine, it will also happen to you in the photos if you pay attention.
I already opened a thread on xda but was surprised no one seems to have this problem, only one here and one on the official OnePlus forum.
I am thinking of suing OnePlus because it does not want to recognize the failure of a device that in my case cost me € 1000.
I hope we can find a solution but I am afraid that the problem is not software and is a more serious failure.

Make sure the lens are clean and the case if any doesn't interfere. Do not use 3rd party lense protectors.
Try clearing system cache.
Try clearing cam data.
A hard reset is a waste of time but a hard reboot might help.
Hard reboots shouldn't be needed and indicate a potential software/firmware/hardware issue.
Make them resolve this issue or refund your money... or live with the limitations.

I noticed the same thing when the camera is filming at 60fps. I read about it somewhere on xda as well, but I don't remember where.
It's as though the viewfinder is showing the image pre-stabilize, but the capture is stabilized and therefore is at a slightly different angle.
I figured it's really only an issue if i zoom in a lot, since what I'm filming can get completely out of frame. for those kind of shots i switch to 30fps, where the viewfinder shows exactly what is being captured.
I found the issue to be present in both 1080p and 4k 60fps.
Edit:
I didn't notice the post by @vrg3030 when i posted this lol

In this video you can clearly see what my problem is, when I record the letters on the screen then the image is shifted towards the center and when you are recording something in motion it is impossible to capture something like a car for example.
When I record the car centered on the screen then I see a small part of the car even not seen.
For me it is a serious problem sincerely because it limits a lot the possibilities of the camera and it is clear that it is a manufacturing fault.
To be able to record something in motion, you have to do it without focusing on what you want to record and that should not be the case and less on a € 1000 smartphone in my case.
I also have to say that when I updated to Android 11 it happened the opposite, in the video the letters are seen in the center and in Android 11 the letters disappear because they go up ..... incredible but true

So strange looks like it's being cropped.
Could this be a stabilization technique used similar to Google photos and YouTube which matches on screen content and shifts the frames to eliminate shake?
Then the resulting video capture crops the video as the edges which would have been uneven and changing edges?
Just a theory but would make sense.
A test for this would be to make a video in the same way but use a tripod to Trotsky eliminate shake, use a delay.
Obviously I'm not suggesting using a tripod all the time but it may result in the proposed video you see through the viewfinder

In the recording it is seen that I am using a tripod on the OnePlus 8 at the time I perform the test.
Obviously the one with which I record the video is not on a tripod, anyway although the OnePlus 8 worked well with a tripod it cannot be that it has to be used to record videos at 4k 60fps with zoom.
And as I said before, if what I am trying to record is in motion, it would not be seen on the screen as the letters appear on the video.
The letters are visible because they are static and that video is before updating to Android 11, after updating it happens the opposite, the letters disappear from the screen because they go up, it's crazy
I have done the test recording the same with the OnePlus 8 Pro, Samsung note 20 Ultra and Galaxy S20 ultra and the problem is only me, I have sent several videos recording static and moving targets to OnePlus and they say they do not see anything abnormal ..... Seriously?
All the people who see the videos and my friends who test the smartphone clearly see the problem and they do not hahaha anyway ..... I am studying taking legal action

I've just turned grid on, then recorded in 4k 60fps with HDR off and put the center point out the grid on a picture on my wall then recorded, zoomed in, zoomed out then played back, my starting lens was the centre one.
Retried with the most zoomed out lens and repeated.
Image in the center remains in the center throughout.
I'm on OOS 11.0.2.2
If it's switching lenses then I'm not seeing it
Edit: also placed a piece of blu tac over the center of the screen to confirm and it does indeed remain central

Thanks for doing the test, you have reminded me of something talking about the change between lenses, I think the failure may be related to that although I do not understand much about this topic.
If you don't mind by having time, try to record some moving object such as a car for example that is about 150 meters or so and then check if you see it correctly centered
In this video I recorded a ship that passed in front of me with the zoom and the only moment that I could see entirety in the video is when it passed in front of me because obviously at some point the ship passes in front of all the lenses and they capture it entirely but in the moment that has already overtaken me and I begin to follow it, the problem begins.
It is as if the lens that shows me the image on the screen when recording the video is not the same as the one that records the video, it is recorded by one of the 2 next to it
In the video do not use the zoom to the maximum and you can see clearly what I say, with the zoom to the maximum it would not have been seen and I assure you that when I was recording the video the boat was completely visible

That's when it goes past X3 zoom you can see a small stutter.
Will have a go at it, it's midnight here, sorry probs tomorrow.
I'd be almost certain that this doesn't happen on GCam, unless it alters the lenses.

Has anyone found a solution?
