Hello people! I'm trying to record video with my new OP3T, but when I watch the recording, the video frame size (or field of view I suppose) is smaller than what it looks like when I'm shooting. I mean the video resolution is still 1920x1080, but things at the edges of the screen are now out of view. I'm using 1920x1080 @30 FPS, stock camera app, Android 7.0. Same thing happens with other resolutions and FPS settings, and with OpenCamera app for example. But it does not happen when taking pictures, and even when I take a static shot WHILE shooting video, that picture comes out fine.
Is this a known issue? How could I solve this? Is there any modification that could help?

Seems to be a known issue. Watch this video (pay attention at 3:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFC9OB85Tpk&t
I don't know if this can be solved as i received my 3T yesterday and haven't had a chance to use the camera yet.

It seems so, yeah. Do you know if this sort of cropping happens during shooting or is it a separate process that's done afterwards? I figured this might be solvable somehow, since you do see the whole picture while you're recording. So it's not a physical limitation of the camera lens or anything.

Noticed that OpenCamera has a function to enable Camera2 API, which fixed the cropping! Also I found that on stock camera app, recording on 4K UHD (3840x2160) doesn't crop the video frame. But it limits to 10 minutes per shot (also workable on OpenCamera due to its restart recording function.)
It's the electronic image stabilisation. It needs to zoom in a little bit to stabilize the video. That's why the 4k isn't cropped, because in 4k, there is only OIS, and not EIS.

Exactly what I thought was the cause of it, thanks for clearing this up ??
Is there any way to disable stabilisation? Different camera app, some mod or something? Even OpenCamera doesn't specifically have a setting for that, but I guess Camera2 API doesn't support EIS or something, which feels like a crutch "solution" at best.

Scan build.prop see if there is some line related to ois or eis.
Hi
My camera record slow motion video but when recording was done and when i want set slow motion speed the setting button not working.
Is there any guide for this?
Thank you everyone
#edit# i have this problem with all video files! Setting button has no functionality!! #
I think it's camera bug or 'slow motion' doesn't support some video formats. In some firmwares there were that problems. You can flash another firmware or install other camera app that supports slow motion.

Thank you for your answer
I want to know is every one phones same as me or not?
please some huawei p10 owners tell about their slow motion mode.
can you change slow motion speed or not ?
I had a similar problem but managed to find the solution. When I got my phone, I uninstalled/blocked all of the bloatware. Amongst these programs was also the Videos application, which I blocked. It appeared that this app was needed to edit the videos. Now that I have it unblocked everything is working fine again.
The slow motion and sometimes video recordings are unpredictable as for performance. I think the SLO-MO is bugus. Never worked for me, only intermittent..
Which video app do you mean ? by title and if I uninstall will the camera app still work. I will not be editing in my phone. I have fabulous slomo at hoghest frame rate but the other 2 speeds do not work. If I remove will ithey now work ? Also slo mo ar highest speed have no control over film captured action duration . Thought it would continue recording slomo till I pressed stop ?
Hope for answers for my P20 Pro
thanks
Video recording on the OnePlus 3T is of great quality but the autofocus ruins it. It is always hunting... back and forth...
Recording with a fixed focus is a solution but then you have to always refocus yourself.
I am no developer and I don't know how strange my idea might sound but asking doesn't hurt anyone, does it? :highfive:
Is it possible to implement kind of a new focusing system?
I mean, can the camera focus in the background (background task or process, not visible on screen) and when it is done with focus hunting and the desired part is in focus, then it updates the focus on the view/video recording smoothly. So you wouldn't see the focus hunting and have a smoother video.
The processor of the phone is so fast that it can do so many things and it wouldn't be so hard because it is focusing anyway, just this time it shows it later.
I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it. :good:
Guys, found a way to enable Electronic Image Stabilisation in the default app. This is how.
1) Open the stock camera app
2) Click on settings
3) Go down to red eye reduction and tap on it until a notification comes up saying something on the lines of you are entering additional settings.
4) Switch to video mode
5) Make sure you are shooting at less than 4k.
6) You may now toggle the Image Stabilization option in the settings.
Let me know actual effect while shooting a video
Yes It Does Work There Is A Way To Developer Mode And In Video Settings There Is A Option To Unable EIS
It works
The video is now less shaky than before
Yes it is worked just tap many time on red eye reduction option
Thank you for your research and sharing. It works I confirm. Switch to rear camera, tap and hold red eye reduction for 3 to 5 seconds, when you lift your finger there will be a toast saying developer settings enabled, switch to video recorder, head to settings again there will be an option now for image stabilization.
Just one question to thread maker, how on earth you found out this?

Too much time on hands and no worthwhile jobs / tasks to do? Jokes aside, good job!
Can you share screenshots of this hidden setting please?

this is.. and yes.. it's work, video smooth now..
after that, if setting disappear in camcorder model, just switch to camera mode, and switch again to camcorder..
Now youtubers will steal this research and claim that they found this and earn money, we should contact the xda tv youtube chanel about this thing for making a simple video.

We posted a tutorial on the Portal and gave OP credit for the finding. Hopefully that works!
Thank you so much sir.

Frankly, happened to find about the hidden settings on another forum; but found the EIS setting disabled as I had set 4K as my camera's default video shoot resolution. At my end I only accidentally stumbled upon the 1080p setting to enable the EIS flag. Hence the first line that says found a way to make EIS work rather than found the settings.
anybody notice zoom in camera (video recording)

Yes there is Zoom in EIS mode vs non EIS mode.
In hindsight may be Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro's stock camera is limited to video capture at 1080p for the same reason that our phone supports EIS till 1080p; while Xiaomi also advertises that RN5 Pro supports EIS officially.
Its a different thing that other apps have vidoe capture at 4K with EIS functional for some unknown reason in RN5 Pro..
I tried this. Now I want to go back to the stock camera and disable this camera developer mode. How can I do it? , Please help. Please!

Try deleting data of the camera app, it will reset it to its factory install state
It works much better now.
Thanks

First of all thank you sir for the providing us with useful tweak :good: but sir as normal person who's not that much into tweaking camera settings manually it's of not that much use to a person like me who likes to rely on 'Auto Mode' moreover I don't know how to use these things, coming to the point "is there any way to turn off the camera developer options (API 2) and get back to normal mode ? "
I confirm that this works for EU phone too. At least for mine.
Did anyone notice ?
once you enter camera developer mode, for each capture two photos are being saved ?
one is normal and one with tag debug !
any way to fix it ?
Has anyone found a way to stop the ridiculous autofocus hunting/pumping in video mode?
I guess I could use another camera app but the stock one is the only one to offer OZO audio.
Thanks!
Anyone ?
Id appreciate it too, there should be a fixed focus option.
Yep, or at the very least the AF should be deactivated if you tap once to focus on a specific area.
