Is it just me or doesn't the video recorder have autofocus? I seem to remember that on my SGSII I could point the camera and before starting to record I could press anywhere on the screen where I wanted focus and then start recording.
This works on the Note on the still camera but not on the video camera
Anyone knows if there's a fix for it?

Yeah there is no way to select what you want in focus in video mode. Hopefully Samsung address this in ICS update
I cannot believe how many problems the Note has...I should be better than GS2...

It happens if you're using the 4.2 camera/gallery from this thread (happens to me at least, recording a video and touching the screen while its recording causes it to freeze): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964804

my camera is patched one. from nexus 4. and nexus 4 camera has some feature, take photo when recording video when you tap on screen, i think. and it has photosphere. the one which doesnt FC, doesnt have photosphere, thats why video recording is working "correctly". but hey, better have photosphere and not tapping screen when recording, than tapping screen like lunatic and not to have photosphere.
EDIT: also this thread doesnt belong to this section.

..nexus not support this
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to turn off camera functionality of start/finish video recording by touching the screen.
UPDATE: issue resolved by @[email protected], thank you

I am frustrated by an added camera functionality on the latest WP versions - now in order to start/finish video recording you only need to touch the screen - anywhere on the screen. For those of us who frequently uses video recording this is actually not convenient because it is easy to accidentally stop the recording by touching the screen, especially during longer recordings (>3 minutes), or when passing the phone to another person while recording is underway.
I run into this problem again and again, but I would hate to revert to an earlier WP7 version because of this (I am running a nice Dynamics HD2O 2.00b WP7.8 8858 ROM on my HTC HD2). So I am wondering if anyone can think of a way to remove this functionality (or allow the screen to be completely turned off while recording video, as this could also save battery charge) by tweaking registry, or an app that does that, etc.
Thank you.

hi,
You can disable this from Settings>applications>Pictures+Camera

That was easy, thank you very much. Strange that you can't do it from within the camera app itself.

I was looking through some of the props, and stuff, is there a spot to change video recording length more than 25 mins in HD?
Longer videos please

This is something I could really use too....if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful !
talked with customer support, they are unsure why it records 25 mins. guess its time to dig into code and see what else there is. I did notice that with a different launcher installed, and set as default, the next day when i turn it on, it goes to stock launcher. must be something hard set after a cold boot to pick a defined set of defaults..

Thnask Jason
not a lot has been done in my off time besides work, did play around with more numbers in the sys folder, and a few in the camera apk itself, still always seems to go back to default after a sit overnight.
has anyone tried system/etc and then media_profiles.xml then changing the values and encoder profile quality.. duration then change it from 30 to whatever..
Its just the buffer size!

Ok,
just been on holiday with this camera and used it in battle so to speak.
What I found regarding the 25 mins time limit is that it is just refering to the amount of video it can deal with in one chunk before it has to process it and store it to the card.
If you tap on the stop button rather than just the pause button, the camera then tells to it is processing and storing to the card then, after a brief wait you can once again tapp the video button and you are good to go for another 25 mins.
The only limit I can see is the size of the storage card.
I hope this makes sense and answers your question.
Thank you so much for your kind reply ,
is there anyway any app can do none stop part auto to record like auto split kind of thing do you think ?
Thnx

Got to admit I hadn't thought about that.
Looks like I might have to do some research with that idea in mind.
There must be an app of some kind that could automate the process, hopefully someone out there will have some ideas too.

Sorry that I can't offer a solution (yet) but I am in the process of writing a video recording app, and I have recorded continuously for over an hour, so it isn't a hardware limitation.

Oh man! I would love to see this app and would gladly pay you for it! Do you need any beta testers because I would be totally game for that. I have noticed that the JB+ camera does not put a time limit on recording but I have no way to use the zoom and focus while doing so.
I just got the camera today in sort of a compromise. My wife needed a video recorder but I wanted a good camera for other things but mostly photographing student art work. I was looking at the QX10 and immediately saw the 2 GB recording limit and decided against it. I open up the camcorder today and see a 25 minute limit! AHHHHH!!!!! Anyway, I have unlimited recording but shoddy control using the JB+ camera.
I bought the Galaxy Camera for 328 and am really enjoying it so far, by the way! Great little piece of machinery.

Not really even at a beta stage yet - I am working on it, got the zoom goiing but haven't got the autofocus hooked up properly yet. The JB+ app may be the best hope as of now, but I'll keep you posted.

Glad to see you are still working on it. I wish I can help but programming is not my forte. I found another app that sort of works (not focus) as far as using the controls but recording doesn't finish right so it is broken. The app is Zoom Camera by Moulasoft.
If you need any graphics for the program let me know. That is one area that I can help with.
Has anyone found a way to stop the ridiculous autofocus hunting/pumping in video mode?
I guess I could use another camera app but the stock one is the only one to offer OZO audio.
Thanks!
Anyone ?
Id appreciate it too, there should be a fixed focus option.
Yep, or at the very least the AF should be deactivated if you tap once to focus on a specific area.
