[Q] Z3 Compact manual focus needed. - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for good app which can make 60 fps or 120 fps videos with manual focus option. I found Cinema FV-5 very useful but it only has 30 fps. You know something?

Im not sure but i tested the app "Open Camera" a few weeks ago and was very impressed. Check it out, maybe it has what your looking for!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera

Omg thanks man!!! This is it! You made my day. Live in peace

Ehh there are good options but "sorry this frame rate is not supported on your device"
But on the original app i can record even in 120 fps.
I think i just cant do what i want so thanks for help and this is the end.
Bye!

Can I change video fps somewhere? It seems that fps from main camera is something around 7 fps BUT if taking video from second camera (VGA) fps is somewhere around 13-15 fps. Any change to get better main camera video?
I am with you at the same boat... Back camera is taking bad videos at low frame rate, specially indoor....
Some one help us please
If it doesnt have enough light, it seems like it needs to compensate. When you are in daylight (even clouded), the quality seems to be pretty damn good. But in-doors.. I agree.. It's sub-pathetic.
I got the same problem, maybe the maincamera has too many functions, and that bugs the Framerate....

30fps Video Record?

Is there a way or tweak to get the camera to record at VGA or WVGA @ 30fps? I have a 14 month old daughter and im constantly taking pics of her for the familly ect and noticed that when recording video the framerate is very laggy or slow motion like. The iphone 3gs records great video quality and the N1 has better specs so id assume higher frame rate on record is possible with the N1 also.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thx Guys!

People trip me out some time with there smart remarks.
If you like carrying around multi devices good for you. I have a stand alone camera that does video record ect but my camera is not ALLWAYS on me.
The same way the Nexus is good for multi media such as mp3 / and watching videos but I dont go buy a PSP or ipod touch for that I use my phone. The point of the high end phones these days is to try to limit carrying multi devices on you at all time.
With all the hacking / ports / tweaks going on just wanted to know if 30fps video record was possible. If you dont know how or dont know what im talking about please do reply with BS. Thanks.

i don't think he was in a bs kinda tone. hard to tell on forums
you'll thank yourself later for using a higher quality camera (dedicated camera) of any kind for videos one day. proud parent here, know whatcha mean about wanting to capture the cool 'new' moments.
now then, as far as recording, i'll bet there are settings you can change for it someday. right now the video quality is pretty darn good. just dumped a couple of videos from mine today. frame rate is quite good, picture clarity good, fps decent.
IF YOU FIND an app or way to up the settings, PLEASE update this thread in your original post.
Yeah, Im not trying to come off negative to anyone. I have a decent standalone camera that can take great pics and video a 10mpiexel cam with ful vga record. With phones tho its so MUCH MUCH MUCH more conveient to beable to snap a picture and have that picture allready able to send as MMS / Email / Up Load to facebook ect...
With the standalone camera I have to take mem card out - load to card reader - copy pics to mem card on my nexus - ect...
Just too many steps. When I had an iphone 3gs for a lmited time I was amazed at the video recording quality from a cell phone.
Now with the nexus with specs better then iphone I dont see why we cant get full 30fps at WVGA or VGA res. With 1ghz CPU and 5mpxl that should be possible right out the box. Seems like its definetly possible and im all for the ability to carry less devices.
it would be great if we could get 30 fps on the nexus. my under powered n97 does 30 fps and its video quality is a step up from my nexus for sure. kinda disappoints me that the video quality isn't just as good as my previous phones.
the moto droid (with lower specs) can do 30fps with some hacking... im sure its some setting in the rom that we can change
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/19647-increase-camera-video-quality.html
HTC Desire with similar hardware does 30fps.
I don't know if it's HW or SW limitation, though. Did anyone try to record video on Desire ROM and can verify the actual fps?
Well, the Desire ROM allows for WGVA recording. I do not know about all the fps stuff, but I do know that I am recording in WGVA.
You should be able to by modifying the camera driver in the kernel and the build.prop. I'll look into this when I have the time, but I found the line that should control frame rate. A commit says that not all cameras are stable at 30fps, but how's that ever stopped us?

Patch for 60 fps recording?

Is there any patch to enable 60 fps recordings on Nexus 6?
My question is not for 60 fps, how the heck can this camera improve.....it sucks badly. Poor focus on it. Good phone,bad camera

Poor focus?
Is the only one that it can enable manual focus!!
The other thing is that you dont want to buy any good camera app!
Try cinema fv-5 and camera fv-5
Or open camera!
But I want too the 60 fps patch!
From my understanding the camera is capable of at least 60 fps and it is really the software side that is lacking. (Someone correct me if im wrong please) But i havnet seen or found any way to improve the Frames per second.

Video quality

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 LG V20 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!
Still waiting to purchase this phone but found an "AMAZING" video shot with a V20 strapped on top of his head!

Wow, talk about impressive.
Well, the shadow definitely confirms there's a phone on his head. That's seriously amazing to even consider doing that and it does look really good.
I see the wide lens and what he's doing (aside from the views) being amazing, but that quality is horrible. ?

has anyone tried the slow-mo function on recording? when i activate that function the camera becomes way darker :silly:

It's shooting at 120 fps! So the shutter speed is incredibly fast and you will need A LOT of light. This is standard with any slow-mo recording. You can try bumping up the ISO but the reality is, you will most likely be doing slow-mo only when you have sufficient light with a sensor this small.

Now that you are saying that. i remember that with my S5, it was happening the same, so you are 100% right! :good:
Ladies and Gents, please look into youtube for V20 videos. SOME SCENES clearly show a fine line in the middle of the video in most of what I saw.
This is NOT the only example out there, you gotta youtube for more.

None on my phone. Can you provide a time stamp which u see the artifact?
I took the V20 out to my son's baseball game today. Wasn't all that impressed. Maybe because I'm a noob, and have to learn about using the camera and video functions and capabilities of the device. My V20 was set at FHD 60, or aka, 1080/60fps. I was posted near 1st base. When you launch the camera, it goes to auto mode. When action would occur, I would hit the video button, and it would start recording. The footage came out very bright. It was a sunny day today with occasional cloud cover.
I won't compare this too my Note 4, or my Hero4 Black that I have been always using at the baseball games. I may have left the "AE-L" feature enabled, or I should have just been in manual video mode to begin with. I will pay attention to the settings next outing, and hopefully it's just user error the first time around!
Will post here too.

Question - in auto mode it has the possibility of doing 60 frames per second on video. If I go to manual video mode and make it do it's auto thing it dumps down the frames mostly to 50 fps and to make it go up you need more light and then it goes up, first it begins to push down iso until 50 then it will start effecting the FPS number. Why is that - why would it go down to 50 fps and not just down to 60 fps?
-
Apparently it now goes to 60 frames by standard - no idea what why it changed and how - it correctly do 1/60 now and not 1/50 - maybe it was the update.

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!

Absolutely amazing video quality. Its so fast and the auto focus is perfect in my opinion.

Here is a quick video on how I shoot really good low light video. https://youtu.be/YnBjJeMJ6Po
See if this helps.
Overall the video quality of the Pixel 2 is mind blowing I think. For a phone this thing is incredible. Ive been vlogging on this thing and really impressed with the quality.

I love this camera so much. New video messing around with bokeh https://youtu.be/4u0pa3rBAyI
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.

Yeah I would love to see 60 or 120 fps but I cant seem to get any response from the app developer.

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
Edit2: Congratulations on the wedding..... !
Many Thanks

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 very much It was an awesome trip too. I record at 150mbps for BRoll and sometimes 100 for talking shots if I need a longer video. Here is a video all about my settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZI86VsGDyY&t=1s

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.
