i've just purchased a vario III and my camera is very choppy. I've increased the refresh rate in settings but it hasn't made much difference. Is there a fix for this?

No, I don't think so.
Only with a lot of light, its not choppy anymore. When its choppy, that means your device hasn't enough light.
The reason Tilt camera is choppy, is because the software does not change ISO levels, like all other cameras. ( ISO - sensetivity which needs to be increased in low light) For some reason, HTC did not include that option in camera settings. My guess is that it was probably overlooked. I hope there will be a a software update for that.

Hi,
is there a way to improve the performance of the camera?
like improve the shuttle speed ? faster reaction time ?
You mean shutter speed? No, at the moment there is nothing you can do to speed it up. Especially when taking pictures where the light is low, the camera switches to night mode automatically, making the shutter speeds extremely slow. EXTREMELY ANNOYING, making the camera COMPLETELY USELESS for indoor shots. I think the way the IDIOTS at HTC were reasoning was that this would be a good alternative to the LED light the old TyTN had.
[sarcasm]This plus the disabled multimedia and 3D acceleration sure makes the TyTN II a device very well suited for business.[/sarcasm]

I have faith that they'll release a software update
Yup, I mean shutter speed. it works greater in the day time only got problem in the night. was opening got a way to solve it
i agree, with a 3 mp camera with af and with a reaction time of a 19th century digital camera dosnt really do much
I don't think we'll have too much luck.
Like a normal camera the shutter needs to be open longer to capture a darker image. Sans a flash, I don't think too much progress will be made when it comes to night/dark images and capture speed.
I would be happy if they fixed the auto focus problem I show here, and allowed night mode to be switched on and off manually.
well we can just hope they come out with someting to solve the problems or make more improvement to it
So i updated to the my tilt to Duttys Apr 1st rom, and since then, my camera is very slow on the FPS. I reinstalled the Camera 5.0.4.2915 fix, but no luck. So in reading, i found that if i turned on the camera, then hit the power button, then placed my hand over the camera lense, then hit the power button, i get much better FPS. But after i turn off the camera, the FPS goes back to very poor (so where everything is blurry). Does anyone have any ideas for a fix for this?
Thanks
This has been around for ages. All it does is stop the cameras light meter working, so it is locked to one exposure. It means you might get a dark picture, rather than a blurry one.
I wonder if the root of the problem is that the camera doesn't support a variable ISO speed? On my k750i, as it got darker the camera boosted the ISO resulting in grainier (but lighter) images. Looks like the our TYTN IIs might be locked to a single ISO speed, with only adjustments to the exposure time being made to compensate for darkness.
Loving this phone so far except for one thing. When recording in low-light, there is a significant decrease of fps.
I realize that the 28mm f/2.0 lens is the best out there so why would HTC pair it with such a crippling software feature???
I'd rather have the software crank up the ISO or lose a little exposure to keep the video at a steady 30 or 24 fps instead of the stuttering/lag effect.
Some of my videos uploaded in low-light areas are averaging 20/fps.
Do any of you know if HTC usually updates the camera software or if an outside dev would come out with a camera hack allowing us to lock the framerate?
I'm pretty sure this is a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming update
For some reason I get some kind of severe lag when recording video, especially noticable during camera movements but it's there all the time. You also hear the chops in the sound. The problem is worst in 1080p, it's a bit better in 4k. 1080 gets the choppy lags in all 3rd party apps I've tried as well as in the stock app, very frustrating. Changing the bitrate doesn't seem to affect this issue much, it's doesn't get less choppy at lower or higher bitrates (in Open Camera).
Video stabilization and noise reduction and stuff like that is turned off across the board as far as it's possible since I use a gimbal and do all processing in post. And yes the video is choppy with or without the gimbal, it makes no difference for that.
At first I thought it had to to with bad support for the 3rd party apps I use but then I realized the problem is just as bad or worse in the Huawei photo app, which of course produces bad video quality in the first place but that's another issue.
Recording in slow motion on the other hand works fine, cranking up the bitrate to the max and recording in 120fps in open camera with manual focus produces the best slo-mo quality 1080 footage I've seen a phone do so far. So I know for a fact that the phone can produce good quality 1080p footage, I just can't make it work with normal frame rates for some reason.
Anyone else had this problem? Is my phone simply malfunctioning or did I do something wrong? I'm on the 131 firmware version, firmware finder also lists the 131a as compatible, could that solve the issue?
Any help appreciated.

I have this issue in 60fps
When I revert back to full stock it's fluid and works as expected.
Once I've rooted and installed twrp etc plus a few apps it starts to get laggy, I don't use 4K so don't care..30fps 1080p is what I use most and it's perfect..just annoying that 60fps doesn't work as it should..really annoying.
At total stock it should be fine.
I also use a magisk module called swap torpedo which eliminates the use of a swap file, not sure if that matters or not.
Also I've seen this issue present on all firmwares
In which app do u have this issue?

All apps including Huaweis own.
I've contacted support and they say they'll try to find out what the problem is with my choppy 1080 video.
Obviously that doesn't adress the absurdly low bitrate limits and lack of support for advanced functions in 3rd party apps, which are simply limitations of the p20 pro for now, they said they are aware of those issues as well and looking to fix them.

Ok so may have a fix for this.
I'd previously changed device resolution to HD from FHD changing this back fixes 60fps video, it makes sense that it would offer the same for the other issues you've been having.
Check it out its under Display.
About the laggy video, I just looked into this issue and found something really interesting. When choosing full HD resolution and shooting a video, I find it laggy. But when choosing FHD+ 2160 x 1080 p, the video is amazingly smooth. I suspect that when you choose FHD, the phone is doing some downsampling which causes a huge load on the CPU and makes it laggy while FHD+ does not cause such a big downsampling, because of the 2160 width, which is the native 4k height. Maybe someone who knows more can confirm if what I'm saying is actually true. The kirin 970 does not seem capable of proper processing power like it is advertised.
I have te same issue. FHD 30fps is horribly stuttering, while FHD 60fps or 4K are ok. Do someone found a solution to this? It's incredible that the most powerful and advanced camera phone at the moment have this flaw!

Hey, did anyone find another fix for this? I changed my screen resolution and it makes no difference, still getting laggy and choppy video.
Hi guys,
I have just recorded wedding speeches and the video is choppy as hell at 60fps. The audio is fine but video isn't. Any way I can salvage the clips?
Thanks in advance
Hi, when I use the slow motion , the whole display starts to flicker, but still works. all the other camera modes are fine.
Is that software issue?

The display is flickering while recording, or the video when playing back? I just tried, I don't see any flickering while recording. But if it's in the recorded video, what kind of lighting are you in? I recently tried to take a slo-mo with my S20, and had significant flashing. It was at night, I figured it was due to the LED lighting flash rate being slowed down.

Yes, i would suspect this. Unbeknownst to the average person, LED lights tend to flicker A LOT. They do this at a given harmonic of the line frequency. If you're in the US then the LED will flicker either at 60Hz or 120Hz. Most people can't see this at full speed as the light has a bit of persistence and we're geared to see smooth motion. But, when you slow it down you find that at 240Hz or 480Hz the video is now fast enough to catch the dark patches in between the pulses. So, the video seems to strobe. Not all LED bulbs will do this and those that do won't all do it the same. But, it's there, you just can't see it. Keep in mind when shooting video in other modes this could still happen. At 60Hz or 120Hz video even though it's full speed you are still potentially capturing some frames in between pulses. This could cause a sort of beat frequency to appear. So, if anyone is having that problem when trying to shoot video your options are 1: do it in the sunlight. The sun doesn't flicker. or 2. Get a constant light source. Fluorescent bulbs have greater persistence as do the old incandescent bulbs. Professional lighting will be consistent too. But, $4 LED bulbs are going to SUUUUCK for slow mo video.
Yes. You were right. The problem was the led bulb.
That was interesting.
Thanks guys
