Hey guys I recently got a Galaxy Note and might I add that it's an amazing phone. Loving it so far.
But I have one gripe so far, and it possibly can be fixed.
I've been trying to record some videos on my phone, and the sounds is coming out horrible. Curious if there's a microphone adjustment, or something.
Before I bought this phone I was looking at a lot of youtube videos of quality of camera, and its sounds 1000% better then what I record. Not sure if its a distance problem, or settings I have to change.
Here is a quick test video I shot.

hello curious if there is an improvement to the camera or video quality, not that it was that bad. i use mine to take pics and vids of my 2 yr old twin daughters. so im aware they should have done minor tweeks but can anyone confirm imporvements.
Hi everyone
Not got my N4 yet, ordered yesterday though.
Found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XraA3-8t2M4&feature=relmfu
Looks a bit better than it used to be. Can anyone who actually already has one of these confirm the smoothness of 1080p video capture?
Yup the latest OTA had a fix for the camera.
That does seem a lot less janky than before - I'll be recording at 720p anyway as I have an 8GB Nexus on the way. If that's the speed of 1080p, I'm very optimistic about 720p with the OTA.
It was NEVER an issue.
The app used the wrong camera mode that locked to 22fps.
The sensor itself is capable.
Picture doesn't look bad, but the sound quality is appalling...

Yet on other videos the audio sounds amazing, unless they are shooting the video with the N4 and recording their voice with a professional mic outside which seems hightly unlikely
im glad it doesnt have that iphone disease where it looks WAVY

Im sure you can turn that feature off? Im using iPhone 4 atm waiting for my N4 and its fine
Also, YouTube has a feature where it does video stabilization which makes still images wavy..
I chose this phone over the S4 based on the advertised higher quality audio capabilities. The speakers do sound great, but does anyone have any pointers on how to maximize the audio recording quality? I see a lot of articles regarding video, but not much for people trying to only record audio. Do some apps work better than others? Phone/mic placement? Do I have to record a video to get the best audio?
The thing is, I was playing (live music) with some friends several months ago, and one of them put their iphone4 on the opposite end of the room and ran the voice memo app. i was amazed at how clear it was compared to my S2. So far im not having the same experience with the HTC One.
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried much yet but sounds like the video recorder is best for audio recording.

New to this site so Hello
Seems to be several topics on Photo quality but very little on the video camera.
Personally i have no complaints about photo quality, seems a decent upgrade from my iPhone 4s but the video camera does seem kinda poor to me.
also going from iPhone to Android, ive noticed the lack of video camera apps the is within the Playstore
curious to know what others think
Not sure why you are having problems with your video camera but, Z1 is rated on of the best video camera on a smart phone...

thats 1 review. the reviews seem all over the place with this phone. mostly on photo tho. some say the camera is the best available (excluding the Nokia 1020) some say it isnt as good as a Galaxy s4.
Ive found the videos look grainy or faded in well lit areas. sometimes looks like the video is upscaled rather than true 1080p

im really impressed with the video quality and its really good meanwhile i tried most of the smartphones and believe me z1 is damn good in video recording...................
i think the video quality is pretty good on the z1, obviously the king of video recording is the galaxy note 3 with its 4k video capability(Sony take a note here and enable this on our phones damn you). Its not just 1 site which has given the z1 a pretty good video recording score (gsmarena, tech radar, engadget and more). In optimum lighting conditions the quality of the videos are pretty good better than the iphone 5s never mind a 4s, one thing that the z1 does suffer from is when you record in low light, the quality of videos and photos begin to degrade, would have been nice to see some sort of OIS to combat this, but overall i find the z1 a very capable shooter.
shut the steady shot ... and try again thx
Hi,
I currently have a Galaxy S2 and am looking to upgrade.
The video camera is a prime reason for the upgrade. Ideally I want something that can record HDR video with optical image stabilisation. Lots of my video is taken handheld in low(ish), high contrast light so I figure both of these features are important. I was hoping to see HDR + OIS in the HTC One M8 announcement, but that didn't happen.
I'd be interested to know a couple of things:
1. How good is the HDR video recording feature? I've struggled to see many reviews/opinions.
2. How good is the OIS?
3. If you were about to upgrade now and had video as a priority, would you think about the HTC One?
I don't know of any other phones that have both HDR video and OIS. My alternative would be to get another camera with OIS - I think on balance this is more important than HDR video. I suppose I could also get HDR video and have either in-phone software stabalisation, or use a PC application to give me the stabalisation.
Cost isn't a massive factor, but I don't see a real "value proposition" I'm thinking of going for a Nexus 5 or LG G2. Although video is important, obviously having a nice fast phone that will last is also appealing, so I've not totally written off the idea a current gen phone I can get in the next month or so.
Any advice on models would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm far from a video recording expert, but i have used my One for over a year and recorded my first video last week.
It was a stand-up comedian, so it was a hard motive.
Everything around the man on stage was black and with a bright spotlight on the performer.
Started recording with standard setting, and it was hard to find focus when everthing was black or superbright.
Then I switched to HDR recording and got a lot better video with stable focus, with the downside that the black background was more grey. But what the heck, it was better and I can see my motive
What impressed med most was the audio quality of the recordings, really awesome!
Hope this helps you somehow.
