Yesterday, I recorded a video with the default settings on the stock camera. Fine.
When I save it on my PC, I watched it and then noticed it was a little bit slow. Then I checked the properties and it said the FPS were 15 and not 30 as supposed to be.
Is it normal? Having in mind that the video was recorded indoor, in the night, with a lamp as a light source (yes, low light conditions).
Thanks.
Maybe you have the slow motion function activated. Check that.
Also questions belong to questions answers, not to general.

I checked that before, and no, I never enabled slow motion.
And sorry, I didn't know where this thread was, so thanks for getting me notified.

I wonder, that is the autofocus possible in the video recorder? Just like in iphone 4. I start the video record and where i tap the screen the phone is focusing there...

First of all, this is the development section of the Galaxy S forums. You are asking a question that should probably be asked in the General section.
Second of all, you should provide a title that is more clear, like "Autofocus in videoplayer". So everyone knows that this topic is about that.
Third of all, what do you really want? Autofocus or tap-to-focus. Autofocus is when your camera focuses on a point AUTOmatically.
If this has been posted already, my apologies! i've been reading in the forums for months now and haven't seen it posted yet unless it came and went down the list faster then i could see it.
so the main issue seems to be, after taking a few pictures over time the camera app just freezes with the LED on like a flashlight and won't take another picture. until i found this google code submission

i've always had to reboot my phone just to take pics again. it's been embarassing when in public with friends i've bragged to about this phone... its a good laugh thats for sure, but not what i expect out of this phone. has any of you experienced this? do you guys on custom roms have this issue? is this a google code issue only or are all roms experiencing this issue? i haven't rooted yet as i always wanted to take updates automatically and stay up to date, but with this camera issue i'm in the process of rooting right this minute but want to make sure its worth my hassle.
discuss.
I've had this issue as well. It only seems to affect the stock app though as other camera apps continue to function. A reboot is the only way is been able to fix this bug.

It happened to me for the first time on New Year's Eve but happened three times. The app reset when I either closed it from the recent apps list or switched to video camera and then back to regular camera. Not sure what caused it and hasn't happened since.

So what you're trying to say is whenever you try to repetitively take photo, camera freezes with led light on? Never happened to me. Then again, I barely use my camera
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've had this happen as well, although I don't think I needed to reboot, just closed the app and it stopped. But I've had this happen several times, not recently though. I'm very disappointed with the camera on this thing, it seems to take lack luster photos and the app is very fritzy and the rotation animation awful, as well as this occasional glitch.
It's a bug and has been reported. You can star it here:

that's exactly what I'm saying. I take a lot of pics especially when we go out. it does it all the time... it just freezes with the led stuck in. I can hit home but when I reopen it and take a pic it gets stuck in again. I just read I can switch to video and back and it should work, but that's annoying. my girlfriends gnex just works and she always laughs at me when it happens.
question, does this happen on anyone's rooted nexus with custom rom?

Happens to me all the time. The camera app on here is pretty disappointing. I don't get it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I just got it to produce that problem and I see what you mean by annoying. One easy solution that I heard people using is using a third party camera app. Try a free camera app and tell us how it goes. Tried to reproduce the problem with camera zoom fx and couldn't do it. Also I believe this is a problem with terrible auto focus of nexus 4. Because when this happens the focus ring looks like as if it's still trying to focus into a object. Hopefully this gets fixed with software update. Cheers
BTW, using a rooted stock nexus 4 with Franco kernel and camera mod that'll increase the quality of the image and video.

Me too and I've now "Starred" the bug.
Hopefully everyone here has too so it gets noticed by Google.
Same issue. Experienced it for the first time on New Year's Eve. Both my Nexus 4 and my wife's had the same thing happen. Only happened to mine once. Happened to hers about 3 or 4 times.
Used the camera the most on New Year's compared to any other time so that's possibly why I never experienced it until then.
Happened twice when asking strangers to take pics of us too, which was extremely annoying and embarrassing.
The LED flash stays on and you can't take any pics. Closing the app and swiping it from recents and reopening does nothing. The same thing will happen on the next try. Need to reboot the phone. It's the only fix.
My phone did this on new years eve too.

Happened the same to me more then once. I don't use the camera that much but when I really need it doesn't work.
This is embarrassing when everyone around you is taking pics with their iPhone.
Had numerous android phones before and never had one 100% reliable.

Had this issue also!
BTW while messing around just now, I got it to freeze , but noticed it was out if focus , so I moved it around and it eventually took!

Try the Camera Zoom FX app. When I say amazing control, I mean AMAZING control of the camera. ISO, tap to focus and shoot, programmable hardware buttons for shutter/gallery etc...
The ability to control ISO means you can get rid of noise for stills/landscapes in almost any light. It works great. Furthermore, the pictures appear to be better from this app. When I started the app, I played around with it and thought "hey this is great, I have control over each shot, but the quality of the picture in auto mode appears the same as stock." Then I found in somewhat hidden "All Settings" menu a SAVE menu which was defaulted to 85% for jpeg output. I put it on 100% output and the pics look very good if not better than stock. The hardware is decent in this thing so the pics should be good. Take a look at the app and try it out for a few minutes to test it.
Disclosure: I have NO financial or personal interest in the company or developer of this app. But I do have a personal interest in photography.
Last night I was trying to take pics of me dunking and the camera lagged every time there was movement on the phone, but when it was day time it was as good as can be.
Also, I noted that when taking a really up close picture of something, the camera doesn't focus at all...even if you tap it.
Ditto on the same issues... Or maybe that's the way the phone camera is. If anyone with better knowledge could enlighten us if this is normal or not would be greatly appreciated.

It's normal.. It's trying to adjust ISO to allow light in and that takes time which causes the screen to lag.. If you manually adjust the ISO to a specific setting it will not lag nearly as bad as auto in low light.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
You should see how much snapchat lags with low light situations on this phone.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
If you're referring to the picture moving smoothly as you move, this is normal. I don't think it's iso but rather the shutter being open longer (slow shutter). If you notice, the picture smears while you're moving. This is exactly what happens when the shutter is slow. This phone probably sets the shutter slower than most others to draw in even more light. I wouldn't worry about it.

Have a strange camera issue...
When i set iso to 200, for example, it looks like all ok, as picture goes darker, but when I take picture, it goes brighter as iso is set above 800-1000 or exposure goes to max and saves like this... and then it goes back darker on the screen... Wtf?
When I setting iso in settings to 200, I want it to capture with that iso...
No hdr or flash is enabled...
Is this the known issue and there is a fix for that? Or maybe some suggestions?
Or its just me with this issue?
Thanks!

i don't think the stock fw honours ISO settings.
It tries to up to the max then drops down till it finds a working version, so as to keep shutter speeds high,
despite what the camera app says!

What you are experiencing is that the viewer doesn't display the image with the iso that you have selected that's why it's all dark.
But when you press the shutter it takes the picture with the right iso.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yup. If you manually set ISO to 100 in low light, and take a pic. (ignoring the viewer) you will get a reasonable result :thumbup:

You are in a Sony Xperia Z thread, so very likely to be one of those
If your fixed ISO is dark then, your metering is up the wack or the exposure is too short for the light in the sceen

Hdr is not a problem here, and it is not turned on...
Problem is if in normal mode and iso set to 100 or 200 for example, in the mid light condition you almost dont see anything on the viewfinder, the picture is too dark, but if you take a photo it comes out bright and all is visible on it...

I know, but hdr makes a difference in the viewfinder when iso is set low.
I am running the latest 5.0 build from Google and my friend is running the latest 4.4.4 build. We are both completely stock and have noticed with the last Camera Update that when you switch to camcorder mode it gets considerably darker. I thought they fixed this issue and yet we have it again.

I think this behavior is intended. I see the same thing happening to my gf's iPhone 6.
Its in every phone... To maintain 30fps.. Before 4.4.2 videos were brighter but at 25fps.. Videos weren't smooth on 25fps hence google modified it
Just forget about "stock", I use simple AOSP and camcorder is actually brighter than actual scene...
