Group / Wide front camera angle in video chat?? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

In the camera app I can change between group and normal front camera modes, but how can I change this for video calls like in FB Messenger? Seems stuck on the wide /group mode.

Secondary Camera?

Hmm...can anyone teach me how to access the secondary camera? I searched the forum...some say that there is an 'arrow' in the setting menu but i don't see it.
Anyone help?
ThxThx!
Make a video call from the dialer.
Hmm..I just notice that my camera's setting menu cannot display any text at all. Like...all buttons has no text on it...only with some rectangle buttons.
If I in my dialer choose video call it use the front cam
if I in my camera settings choose camera source and set it to front camera it also use it
mind you the front cam is made for video calls and is not as high quality both mp and opticalwise as the back one

[Q] Changing Default Camera Zooom Level for video

Hi,
I've been using Asylum Omni Rom 4.4.2 for a while and I haveve a problem with the camera on video recording. When taking photos, everything is fine with the resolution and aspect ratio. But when I switch to video mode, the view is like its zoomed in 2x or more. It feels like the default zoom level is 2x for this rom. I tried some different camera apps like, Google Camera, Camera Zoom FX and Snap HDR Camera, all was the same with video recording. Google Camera didn't even record and crashed when I started recording immidiately and needed to reboot the device to make it work again. Camera Zoom FX, didn't have a video recording mode anyways, and Snap HDR is the save with zoomed levels. I checked on Instagram video option and it was good with the zoom level and everything was fine.
Stock camera app for JB on n7000 var really good with videos. But all I want to know is is there a way to change the default zoom level for an app, or camera. I even tried the Service Mode to look for it but couldn't find anyrthing related to camera or such.

Front camera, group photo, out of focus issue.

Hey everyone!
So for the longest of time, I already have this problem when I am using the front camera to take a group photo, and the camera always focus on the person closest (holding) the camera. Even with the face detection option ON, it won't capture the rest of my friends. Even if I manually tap on the center of the screen (to focus behind).
Do you guys face this issue too?
Any solutions?
I tried Open Camera app but it doesn't have the wide angle feature (like the default S10 camera) have for front camera. (Unless I am not seeing the option).
Thanks!
Bump Hoping for reply still.

Question Samsung camera mod

I found that using screen recording while using samsung camera app in photo mode makes the field of view wider compared to video. And dynamic range is better also.(forget 4k). But good for social media sharing.. but the only problem is the zoom toggle in the way. Is there any way to remove that toggles.. maybe a modded apk or something???...
I think it's because when the camera is in photo mode, the app uses the whole sensor. This means that it is recording with a resolution of 3000x4000 pixels (3:4 aspect ratio). But when you record 4K, the camera app uses only a portion of the sensor equal to 2160x3840 pixels (16:9 ratio). That is the reason you see a wider view in the photo mode and not in the video mode. The only solution right now, might be to use OpenCamera to record video but you have to select the 3:4 ratio in the video settings. If you do that though, OpenCamera will only film with a resolution of 1440x1080 so the video will not be that sharp. I admit, I would love to see a mod or a toggle from Samsung that lets you record in 3:4 though.
Thanks. But what about the hdr.. i mean i have tested it and the hdr performance with ultrawide camera in screen recording is great compared to normal video capture. Even in low light the screen recording looks way too wider and brighter and had great dynamic range. (I have also tested shoooting in 1:1 in video). Kindly test it out and see it yourself. But don't pixel peep it's obviously less crisp than 4k. But great for social media.
I see what you mean. Video from screen recorder is a bit different from video mode. However I do not know why this happens. I suspect that maybe screen recorder is not able to capture the whole color gamut of the HDR preview.
