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 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..

Question guys - to enable you to slow certain scenes in a video you need to select the slow motion video scene...fair enough.
Should this in turn reduce the quality of the video?
I could be wrong, but before I went to a custom ROM, I am fairly sure the video quality remained the same as normal. Now as soon as I record in slow motion, it reduces the quality.

hello there
yes it will reduce the quality ...
best regards
I noticed that too with mine. Horrible isn't it? You also get reduced quality with 60fps. You get verticals lines. I gave up and stuck to 30fps.

Slow Motion = Low Resolution
I saw that HTC video doing a slow motion video of a man doing fire/flame stunt. Actually I was amazed and got excited that I wanted to try that Slow motion on my own with something else like a sprinkler maybe.
So I found one at a park and as soon as I started shooting the video (slow motion video under video settings) WTH!!!! The resolution dropped to something like 768x432 and its a bite pixellated, not true HD (1080p) which I thought I'd expect just like from the HTC video... Yes you can trim/edit the video that's cool but I was hoping for 1080p HD quality
I hoped HTC would come with an update that can maximize its camera features up to 1080p resolution. oh well..

Well I guess is impossible because the Snapdragon 600 doesn't support the record of 1080p videos at 120fps :\
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and I've recorded this slow motion clip a week ago (don't forget to turn on HD when viewing it). The quality seems fine to me.
Yeah. The quality is awfull. The slow motion video from the the device with the man in the night eith fire from his mouth is years ahead bettrr than the ones we can record... But why HTC ?!

some info on this please?
hello guys. i'm sorry for this little derailing question but it was the only thread i found:
i'm currently digging into slo-mo available in latest phones.
i just saw some HTC ONE samples and i was very disappointed from the low resolution.
i was particularly impressed with the new Iphone 5S 120 FPS real 720P feature. it really looks 720 and not upscaled like the fake 720p NOTE 3 slo-mo. however i cannot use iphone anymore due to the small screen.
so from this thread i gather the faster frame limitation is by the processor itself? (snapdragon 600-800? what's the 720P limit?)
i am willing to wait until an Android phone will have a usable 720 slo-mo..
so what hardware could provide this? as i can see nowdays, the latest android phones cannot do it (not the NOTE 3 or the G2 which doesn't even have slo-mo to begin with).
my choice now are either wait for a phone that will (maybe the next HTC?), or wait till apple make a bigger phone (cannot stand the small screen).
your thoughts on this?
thanks.
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

I know it's not the best video quality wise, but it was just a quick test. But yea they do have to make some improvements to the camera software. But i think if i had been better at filming, i could have choosen a better spot to film at.

But I would much prefer if it had audio! Hope they fix on next update!
This is mine
yup..it's low quality video, the video is to much pixelated compare to real 720p and the exposure is too dark...

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Google Pixel 2 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am particularly interested in low-light videos of both devices and the audio quality. From a few samples i could check on YouTube i suspect problems with the noise suppression at least on the XL. Trying to assemble examples in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/77mmk1/pixel_2_xl_video_samples_low_light_and_audio/
Soo.. get your samples out to the world!

I made this video with my Pixel 2. Im pretty satisfied with the quality considering the low light but the sound could be a bit better. But it was really loud there. So maybe that was the issue.

Yes. Cinema 4k for me is the best. Open camera is also good but has no noise reduction. Cinema 4k has really good noise reduction. Filmic pro isnt worth it for me. The quality is just mush compared to what you get on Cinema 4k no matter what color profile or bitrate you use.

Ive been paying about with cinema 4k since my last post... i'ts definitely better in the low light but im getting nowhere near the quality you are... im determined to get better at it..
What do you edit your videos with? can you recommend some editing software that's not too complicated.
Edit?: what settings do you have on in Cinema 4k ... 200mps High noise reduction etc

It would help to see some of your work that I could take a look at. I use premiere pro. It looks scary but its really not that difficult once you watch a few tutorials. The sequence settings and export settings are scary when you first try it out but you learn a lot over time when you use it. I just cannot recomend any free or super cheap softwares. I heard some of them were good but i havent tried.

Thank you for the continued advice.
Vietnam looks amazing def on my list
I love this, auto focus works good.
Its quality too.
I recently test my new Pixel 2 , with Filmic pro, and the OIS works excellent, the zoom is very soft and accurate, also works the mic gain slider, and all the features of the app.
For record videos in a concert, Filmic pro is the best, you can monitor the mic gain, and control it with the slider.
Video of Pixel 2, is a great upgrade from Nexus 6p.
Just tried a slow motion video and it looks like it has a ton of dropped frame issues or micro pauses. Has anyone else seen this or is it a known issue?

This mostly happens with Exynos series of phones. Although some improvements have been made since the first update, camera still fails considerably. Noise and frame drops are something which is unacceptable. We just have to create more noise for Samsung to notice and work on an update. I don't think this phone is what they said it is.
We just have to wait for next update. No wonder samsung s20 ultra scored better than S21 Ultra in camera ratings.

Drives me mad that there's two different versions of the phone that cause performance issues. Why not just put SD in them all or make their own chip work?!

Agreed. Luckily enough, just after they had released this phone, they had admitted to their current chip having a few issues due to their manufacturing process and that their next generation Exynos chip won't have such issues anymore... So if we're lucky, that'll be in the S23 Ultra.

That anything below 4k is crap thing depends on what lens/camera you are using, 1080p 30fps is the only remotely usable one on the exynos version in low light if you are using wide angle lens. Check this out:

I have tested this phone camera rigorously. I don't think 1080p works good in either lens or mode. Slow motion and super slow motion should be removed because its useless. 4k 60 Fps is the only stable video we can take on this phone.

Yes, the recording quality is of no use. Especially if there's lowlight it's almost useless. Hyperlapse also has significant noise. I don't understand if people who are saying the quality is good actually get better videos or they are coming from a previous gen phone which was even worst.
No offense to anyone. But I am just so unhappy with this phone after having paid so much and Samsung portraying the phone as a beast. Its still a kitty cat.
If you have frame drops and etc, consider updating to the latest firmware. If your phone still does it after the latest firmware, then it must be deffective and you have to return it ASAP.
Additionally, I have noticed that if you turn off the Image Stabilization in the camera settings under video options, the whole noise thing becomes much better for normal recording. While it still seems to be somehow stabilizing :O
P.S. I do not mean only the supersteady option. Both have to be OFF. Please test it and share your feedback here so if it works, others can benefit from this as well.
