Using the stock camera app I found what appears to be a problem when recording video and using the 3x zoom. The phone is on 10.5.10 the latest software as of this date. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is having this same issue. I've attached a screenshot of the same frame from the video file from the camera and from my viewpoint. As you can see the dog toy is centered on the grid but in the recording it's not centered.

Does anyone have a Camera software that I can zoom while recording Video, I've tried Cool Camera, and it is a good software, but it dosn't Zoom while Video Recording
Thanks
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.
I've tried taking a video with the default camera app and it results in a purple/pink/green pixels. The sound works perfectly fine. I'm wondering if there is any way for me to fix this file? Here is an image of what it looks like.
In the default camera app when I try to record 60fps at the 1080 I see pink tint in the video recorder but when I use Google camera there is no pink tint, but I don't get 60fps recording option also.
Can anyone suggest me alternative camera app that can do 60fps video recording at 1080 p?
The pink tint occurs on low light and when too close to the subject, using 60fps. If you switch to 30fps this bug is gone, or if you don't get too close to the subject or too low light. Simple as that.
(the bug actually is the infrared not switching off, but Lenovo doesn't want to fix it)
I tired open camera for 60fps recording , but for some reason it says 60 fps not supported on this device
also the recording is grainy and upon zooming its too pixelated

Cant see that myself, if that was the case it would be visible on all settings and plus infrared on the Moto g5 Plus shows as white/purple (fire a TV remote at the camera to see for yourself).
My guess is it is caused by the extra voltage needed by the CCD at high ISO.

If you haven't seen the existing running discussion on the red/pink issue when recording at 1080/60fps then you may want see the following link:

The video zoom quality of the Pixel 4 seems to be unusable: https://youtu.be/Hz75V9AkC5g at 4:15 , maybe even worse than digital zoom.
You should send feedback to Google. Does anyone know how to improve the video zoom quality? Maybe a 3rd party app? It could be a software issue. It does seem to use the second camera, but it doesn't seem to use the full resolution of the second camera.
