When i try to capture a running video screen (with s.pen) it captures everything else as image other then the actual video pic. Any ideas??

Hi!
I'm developing an app for my Galaxy Cam. I want to display the camera preview image on a SurfaceView which is placed somewhere on the layout - but not full screen.
This works like a charm.
But I also want to display this app on the big screen via HDMI. Unfortunately, after activating the camera with this surface holder, the HDMI output changes to full screen camera preview only.
When I activate the camera (and the buffered preview) without setting the surface holder, the HDMI content will still be the normal screen.
Is there any way to use the surface holder preview and get the normal screen via HDMI?
Thanks alot in advance!
Solved it
Well... I just figured out that I can use a TextureView instead, which will not result in a full screen camera preview via HDMI.
It seams there is no Photo Digital Image Stabilisation in Tab S2 camera.
Tab S2 takes photos like it doesn't have image stabilization. If I hold the tablet by one hand most photos are blurred. I have to hold the tablet by two hands and be very-very steady to take a photo. Does anyone else has the same problem?
There is a "Video stabilisation" option that doesn't effect photo quality. I'm expecting to have the Photo digital image stabilisation as well. Check your unit and share your observations.
Video recording (which can be ruined if you don't turn off CAF) can also be ruined by OIS - especially if you are panning left or right, you get a kind of choppy effect which looks awful.
Is there anyway of turning of the OIS?
I have been doing some reading and it seems the unit can be run in Manual as will as Auto mode for test purposes.
Seeing the fix for the front camera being rotated (after Hal3 setting) using an xml file,
I wondered if there was a similar setting in an xml file that could be flashed to set OIS to manual?
I await your learned answers.
If you are using snap camera, there is an option to disable stabilisation in the video recording settings menu. See the attached screenshot

Ok Will try
thanks.
Some of these camera apps have their own software stabilisation which you'd be turning off but I'll give it a go.
Sadly setting does not seem to be present in the version I downloaded

Has anyone seen this issue ?
I found that using screen recording while using samsung camera app in photo mode makes the field of view wider compared to video. And dynamic range is better also.(forget 4k). But good for social media sharing.. but the only problem is the zoom toggle in the way. Is there any way to remove that toggles.. maybe a modded apk or something???...
I think it's because when the camera is in photo mode, the app uses the whole sensor. This means that it is recording with a resolution of 3000x4000 pixels (3:4 aspect ratio). But when you record 4K, the camera app uses only a portion of the sensor equal to 2160x3840 pixels (16:9 ratio). That is the reason you see a wider view in the photo mode and not in the video mode. The only solution right now, might be to use OpenCamera to record video but you have to select the 3:4 ratio in the video settings. If you do that though, OpenCamera will only film with a resolution of 1440x1080 so the video will not be that sharp. I admit, I would love to see a mod or a toggle from Samsung that lets you record in 3:4 though.
Thanks. But what about the hdr.. i mean i have tested it and the hdr performance with ultrawide camera in screen recording is great compared to normal video capture. Even in low light the screen recording looks way too wider and brighter and had great dynamic range. (I have also tested shoooting in 1:1 in video). Kindly test it out and see it yourself. But don't pixel peep it's obviously less crisp than 4k. But great for social media.
I see what you mean. Video from screen recorder is a bit different from video mode. However I do not know why this happens. I suspect that maybe screen recorder is not able to capture the whole color gamut of the HDR preview.
