Video recording autofocus? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to enable autofocus in video recording(camera app/kernel/rom changes)? I think hardware is capable because it can autofocus when taking pictures and that only software is limiting it. Any suggestions?

Use lgCamera, but be careful with the bitrate setting. The focus won't be automatic, but it will be touch focus.

I heared that with lg camera you can only focus before starting the recording.

Works for me during recording, just make sure you have Focus mode set to Auto.

I just tried, works great, im very dissapointed samsung didnt put software support in stock camera.

Samsung didn''t put many things on the stock ROM... not buying my next phone from them, unless I have the money for a flagship.
Anyway, remember, be very careful with the video bitrate setting as phones tend to choke on big videos... even OG S3 skipped frames on me on a 20 Mbps video.

This is one of the most retarded things I've heard... app won't give you autofocus, because it lays down in hardware, not software...

I was confused when I'm using miui camera for the first time!
There's an autofocus option, but I'm pretty sure that Galaxy Mini camera doesn't have autofocus.
But not so long after, I make a conclusion: Galaxy Mini really doesn't have autofocus. It's just the miui camera which is made with that option so if the camera have autofocus, it will do, but if not, it will change nothing.
Doesn't you realize that whether you tick on the autofocus on or off, there's no different results?
It don't! If u want it anyway just use Camera360 Ultimate. It also have ISO setting
Edit : it have touch focus instead of autofocus

I have CM7 nighties, so there is camera app, so you suggest me to use that app for filming? It film pretty good, but I am able to film just 30 in HD quality. can I extend that time? like one hour or two hours?
I tried LG camera pro app. it has a lot of options to capture picture and capture video. But I notice that when I capture video auto focus is not working, not on lg camera pro and no on camcorder (stock cm7) , just focused at beggining and then no focus ;( could it be cm7 bug?
It's not a bug of cm7 is a bug of the app.. However are you sure that with stock camera you can register up to 30 minutes?

i really ot tested but in quality section is written HD (30m)
Those written have nothing to do with the maximum recording time, the only limit is the free memory in your device

ok then But I still looking for solution about autofocus... because its not working for me while I taking video
For autofocus I don't know.. maybe is a cm bug, you should expect a fix for your rom or flash a stable version (7.2)

Hello all, i am just wondering on how to zoom on cyanogenmod based roms. Even if i try to reduce the resolution it still doesnt zoom. I tried other camera apps from play store, but they were all rubbish. I dont get it, how come you cant zoom on cyanogenmod?? Please provide a solution to this problem. Thanks!

As i said i do reduce resolution. In the sgs2 rom v10, digital zoom works perfectly with resolution reduced. This rom is not cyanogenmod based. Other roms that are cyanogenmod based,dont digitally zoom even with resolution reduced. What is the problem?

Then your only option is to try another camera app,I am not on CM right now, so can't help much

Try camera zoom FX or just simple flash to another ROM which support zooming if that things it really important things for u
As if the zoom is really good on our ace

why do you want to have a zoom if you can just crop the picture after?
i think it's better to have a primary photo AND the cropped one ..

Can we port slow motion videos to our S1

Hi there, while moving in YouTube I found that the HOX and Note2 aren't the first phones to record slow motion videos, if fact, the wave 1 (bada running platform ) could do that, and if you think about it, the S1 and wave 1 has the same hardware, so can you Dev team brought that, even the iPhone has an app make that possible, I hope you discuss that, thx.
Can you rate my English, out if 5 ?

Oh i see, thank you for the video
First of all, we will need to incrase the fps of video recording i think, then we could make it
We will need like 80-120 FPS, then we can do it
We will need a hard-working developer to it :3
I think droidjam can look at it (if he have free time)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
My old Samsung s8000 had that option too, and it was running touchwiz 2.0
To do that, it records at 120 fps and at a resolution of 320x240;
It really is a great feature so I would apreciate if someone can bring it to our S1 too.
There is an android app that simulates that feature (videocam illusion) but it isn't as smooth as the s8000 version...
Yeah I'm pretty interested in this too. Developers should certainly look into working on stuff like increased framerate recording and manual focusing

Camera settings - what is the best?

Hi. I am wondering what settings you all prefer using with the camera.
I am on normal mode, 9 megapixel (16:9).
Does the ppicture quality get a little better with 12megapixel (4:3)? Don't see any difference..
So what settings are you guys on?

We can't tell you our settings, cause it's a secret!
No... it purely depends on the conditions. We can tell you that for example superior mode is the best, wouldn't it be that you want to take a night shot, then Normal mode HDR would be better.
I'd say play with the settings and you decide.
I use normal mode HDR: off most of the times.
Sometimes burst.

I see. Don't see any difference when changing from many different setting. Only noticeable is changing from 9 mp to 12 mp. That is the format size. My eyes are so bad at noticing any difference what so ever.
