Galaxy S4 Active slow motion? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read a review that stated the Active records at 120fps but it doesn't mention it in the instruction manual. Does it have it?

still now reply to this thread... some already ported the S4 camera app to S3... but it think it is easier to port the S4 Cam to S4A... although the 13mp cam will be the only problem i think...

I have heard that we have diffrent camera than s4 and its not only megapixels difference. Im hoping for port to s4a sonn too.

[Q]I9000 camera 1080p recording

Hi
Read that the i9000 hardware can encode/decode 1080p video.
and that the camera is capable of this.
is there a camera apk that has this?
what is involved in making one?
or is this just impossible to accomplish?
i dont think the phone can handle filming at 1080p in my opinion. 720p is awesome anyway even more so on a phone...
One thing i do know is that i can stream HD (1080p) movies from my pc to my phone and that plays perfectly..

Yea, heard that too - Galaxy Tab with the same hardware can handle it, but some kernel drivers of Galaxy S doesn't support it... Thanks to Samsung
is there a dev around that could say what kind of drivers are needed in the kernal?
maybe we could do something when the S2 comes out.
would a nice addition...

with android 2.3 and 2.4 it can handle it.
What's the point on that;It would capture 1080p in too low frame rate.

Like marcodoncarlos stated, the tab can handle it with the same hardware (30fps I think) so our phones would be able to handle it just fine if given the proper software.
mem write speed will creat problems

[Q] Slow Motion camera mode on Jelly Bean?

Is there a slow motion mode in the camera app in any of the JB roms, leaked official/custom? Is there any possibility that it will be present in the final version? Coming from a (now defunct) Dell Streak 5, I was pretty much determined to get the Note 1, because the low price nowadays and JB update (plus the added note 2 features) offset the Note 2's hardware advantages as far as I was concerned, but after recently seeing some slow motion videos taken with the Note 2, I just have to have that option.
Bump? Nobody opened the camera on the leaked JB ROMs to see if there's a slow motion mode?
i checked it but i don't see it anywhere in camera settings
Thanks! So the Note 2 it is, then
offcourse... loads of new features... but the sad part, galaxy s4 will launch with even more features :banghead:

4K video on the S5 not as good as the Note 3

Ok so i recently bought a S5 900F, one thing I've noticed is that 4K video from the S5 isn't as good as that from the Note 3, which i also had.
For some reason on the S5 the colours look slightly over saturated, the note 3 looks more natural.
Also video sharpness seem to be slightly better on the Note 3 aswell, I have a 4K monitor so can see the difference, which doesn't show on a 1080p screen .
The most annoying thing i've found recording in 4K on the S5, is that it has a tendency to skip if the lighting conditions suddenly change quickly, doesn't do it all of the time but when it does it spoils the video, I've tested another S5 and it does the same thing so it's a camera firmware issues that maybe fixed in the future, the Note 3 doesn't have this problem at all both where recorded on the same 64GB Samsung class 10 card.
Tbh i quite disappointed with 4K on the S5 if anything it should be better than that of the Note 3 but atm it isn't, as the S5 is still new i may get sorted out with future fixes, but as it stands the Sony sensor does a better job atm than the Samsung sensor in 4K.
If you are that serious about the quality of the camera than you should buy a real camera.

It's not the matter. S5 is new device and it has advance technology than n3. It should superior than n3 in terms of pictures and video quality. I hope its software problem than hardware coz software can be fix

So? The N3 is bigger than the S5 so it's easier to put better hardware in there.
Not the case of better hardware, the S5 has better hardware it's either to do with the new Samsung Sensor or the camera firmware.
We've only had one update so far I think for the S5, and with the sensor being new tech, we may see a few tweaks to it and the firmware in future updates.
But as it stands now camera is better picture wise than either the Note 3 & S4 , video on the otherhand moreso in 4K could be better.
And the very random skipping it sometimes does that really needs to be sorted though.
As for having a real camera, I've got a couple of really real camera's, but i don't tend to carry them around with me everywhere i go.

Haha nice one. Size doesn't matter dude. Look other phone. They can squeeze the part of the phone to the 8 mm thin

Im on the fence about this one, just my opinion but I felt the 13mp sony sensor was one of the best ever seen on a smart phone for all round experience. The S5 definitely takes better 'well lit' shots, however, the N3 kills it in low light and as for 4k I agree with OP, hopefully updates will improve it.

you ought to be careful some of your posts are considered trolling!
The S5 video seems equal to the N3 after installing this camera mod. This mod bumps the 4K bitrate up from 50 Mbps to 85 Mbps, etc. patterned after kevinrocksman's original N3 camera mod.
That is not to say that both devices then become identical. Or that one clearly outperforms the other. The mod vanquishes glaring differences, but the S5 still performs better in some aspects and less so in others. A nuanced comparison would need careful and controlled A/B testing.

I wonder how many of you when speaking about low light performance of the Camera for Photos actually use HDR ON ?
As for the 4k Video this is still very new tech currently limited to 5 minutes video which is not very good but it`s connected to some buffers filling up. I could imagine that the issue is mostly with the RAM memory not enough for 4k Video recording on the S5 as all of us know N3 has bigger Ram size which will explain why there is flickering on the S5 probably because video buffers are filled out.
Hope this helps.
It seems s5 is not a good choice

So all those other flagships with 4K video and 2GB ram are also unable to record too well? That's not the case. 2GB is well enough for the task.
This is more a sensor/Firmware issue in my opinion. Or camera tuning that is needed.
Some article mentioned that the limit is more of the phone hitting a Thermal threshold due to the high demand of 4k recording.

Really useless comment to post on an S5 forum, don't you think?

Maybe most of the tweaks to the camera firmware will come with 4.4.3, which is due this month on the S5.
Also Sony has a new 16mp OIS module coming out soon, which is apparently is going into the Note 4, looks like Samsung don't have much faith in it's own sensor if that being the case, because of all the bigging up they did of their own sensor here http://connect.dpreview.com/post/0315472077/samsung-explains-the-galaxy-s5-isocell-sensor
You think they would put it in the Note 4 if rumours end up being true.

LG G4 camera port ? is it possible ?

hi there
i'm enjoying my new S6 and its really awesome ! but i think that LG G4 has the coolest camera app and it would be really great if someone managed to port it to our lovely S6
Blasphemy, how dare u mention LG as if Samsung needs any help or your implying that by having LG's camera software your device would feel complete?!

Because it has better camera, laser focus, manual shutter speed, ability to take RAW photos and 4K OIS..

Most vs have the s6 taking better pics. Manual shutter speed and raw photos are coming in 5.1 and ois is hardware. Something the s6 has thus it has 4k ois.
the way i see it, the only advantage for the G4 over the s6 is the camera UI .... its simply brilliant ! if we had that camera app working on the S6, well .... Oh Dear ....
I agree. LG has amazing look on camera. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I moved from LG to Samsung. I'd much prefer another launcher touchwiz is **** but again that's my opinion

Thoughts on Snap camera? My experience with it so far

Surprised no one is talking about Snap camera here. Its a new camera app in CyanogenMod 13 nightlies that is based on the Snapdragon camera app from Qualcomm.
Compared to Google Camera, Snap camera is significantly faster. It does not support RAW capture or any other advanced camera option like shutter speed, ISO levels etc, but it is well worth using just for the speed increase.
I also think that my N5 focuses faster with Snap camera compared to other camera apps that I have tried.
Made a video of the UI in action over here if you guys are interested: https://youtu.be/O3NpF9ZcT1M
On other phones compatible phones like LG G4 etc., the app does support HDR mode and other advanced features like ISO levels, exposure levels etc.
Ive used this app for about a year. The clean UI and the amount of features make it easily one of my favorites. (fyi ive used it on a g3, n6, n6p, opo, edge, edge+, BlackBerry Priv and a moto x 2013 & 2014 and its always worked for me with HDR working best on the Nexus devices)

This link points to Snap camera HDR, which is in my knowledge different from Snapdragon camera. As fa as I know there is no way to install Snapdragon camera on N5 with stock marshmallow. So CM13 and variants after the 1.09 build are the only way to go . However the camera does not support HDR mode yet.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
