cant record slow mo videos - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Every time I try to do a slow mo video, this is the result. I've tried doing a factory reset just in case, but same problem.
Any ideas?

Weird... I see it. Must be a cahced temporary image link from the site I used

This is already there in our P20 Pro, coz Huawei is using frame rate interpolation to achieve 960 fps and then reduce it to get 30fps video. This is not actual 960 fps but lesser than that with resolution @ 480p up scaled to 720p. This is not the case of s9 or xz2 where the phone actually records at the said fps and resolution...

I get that, but even if I record 240fps, when it goes to slowmo it looks like the gif above.
The video is a distorted mess and it doesn't even play in slow motion

That looks like it's caused by poor lighting.
Slo-mo works a lot better in good lighting because it requires higher shutter speeds to work properly.

Low light or artificial light causes the whole frame to distort... Not part of the frame... I get this too even when shooting under sunlight

Youtube now has SUPER HD Videos (4096p!!!)

Hello guys,
Youtube now has real Super HD Videos (4096p) !! Yes its true and if you are on a slow connection it will take hours to buffer even a single minute.
But you don't need to buffer as some screenshots have already been posted here - Check out Super HD video screenshots!
Here is a pic iam posting here from here.

Catch the full story here.
Update: Its 4096p videos not 4000p.
they still look horrible compared to a normal hd movie; they really should have increased the bitrate instead of resolution
They are improving as of late though. I like their leanback feature too. http://www.youtube.com/leanback

Yeah have youtube leanback feature is also awesome : http://www.techit.in/youtube-launched-leanback/
Not sure about having a 25' screen for the 4000p But, googles leanback feature is very cool
Nice ladies galaxys!!
next time you better invite me
It isn't 4000p. The resolution is 4096*2304 at 24fps. Therefore, it is 2304p.
Its like calling 1080p video 1920p.

the logic doesn't apply to this resolution. youtube have come out with the resolution that is not yet properly defined. but it is progressive. if u make a good search, u'll find it's defined in 4096p and not taken the logic of height..
in fact, this resolution is completely different, its not wqhd, wfhd... no it's completely something else..
This resolution is called 4K (meaning you need 4 HDTV, each 1080p to watch this ). The area is 4 times larger as the sides are 2 times larger than full HD.
Personally I think it is BS. First of all you need expensive cameras like RED ONE to record videos. Second you need 4K display which are rare and also expensive. And most importantly the quality because of compression is not great.

[[Trick/Howto]] - Nexus 4 Can Record At 20mbps Compared to 12mbps

The app is called LGcamera
and here are some screenshots
NOTE: Don't go above 20mbps! Because the app will stop working. If LGcamera not opening, u need to reboot ur device.

Yes, less pixelated.

Thanks for the tip! If you could post sample videos (if possible similar videos) of both bitrates, that would be great.
Wait, I didn't notice the 60fps. So it can actually record 1080p videos at 20Mbps and 60fps?

60fps mode doesn't seem to work. It comes out to be 30fps

Google is sending me another Nexus 4 because the one i'm using has some problem with the lens (grey circle aka dead spot).
When I get the other Nexus 4, I will try to do 12mbps vs 20mbps video.
It works very well. ty
You don't need to use another app to achieve the same. You can edit the media_profiles.xml file in the /system/etc folder.
Here are some pics:-
hey there, thanks, very helpful indeed. since i'm still waiting for my nex4, i was anyway hoping lgcamcorder would be capable of doing this. plus you can do some more tweaks compared to the stock camera. did anyone try to also increase audio quality in lgcam? i know this app happens to be quite unstable, both with "wrong" settings and the "wrong" device, in other words: you have to be lucky it works the way you want to?
does it work in 720p 60fps?
Cool app. Nice find.

Another thread reported it did not.

I can confirm 60fps doesn't work in ANY recording mode or resolution. I tried them all using the Lgcamera, which by the way, is much much much much MUCH better than the stock camera app for photos. I haven't done any side by side video bitrate comparisons but the photos and specifically the focus is so much better with the lgcamera. The photos are much less compressed and there is so much more detail in everything compared to the blurry crap from the stock camera.
Try it out and validate my results please! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en

[Video Test] Dubai in 4K shot with a Nexus 5

I am using 3-years old Nexus 5 smartphone with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) overclocked @ 2.65GHz
and Snap Camera HDR 8.0.4 app from Google Play Store to unlocked 4K resolution.
It isn't native 4K, the native 3264 resolution was upscaled to 3840 at 48Mbps, but the quality is still pretty good.
Please note that there is problems with stuttering but Nexus 5 comes with native support for 1080p video only!

You can use Snap Camera HDR 8.0.4 from Google Play Store (or here) and unlocked 4K resolution.
It won't be native 4K, but 3264 upscaled to 3840.
Looks awesome
And some pictures from Dubai. Originally RAW -> PNG -> Facebook (JPG)

Excellent quality.
With 4k video the Nexus 5 throttles quite a bit which results in jittery video after about a minute or two.
Camera2 API (lollipop DP2 or DP3 onwards?) paved the way for such applications allowing devs to access the camera HW at a very low level.
Awesome video, pics and music. Well done!!!
Gotta give this a try.
Wow, I'm still in disbelief

I'm using standard settings (Video Bit Rare at 48Mbps) and Warp Stabilizer in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Lens flare

Well, it seems that not only the Pixel suffers from lens flare...
Today I tried my op3t camera for the first time in low light condition and... the flare is there.
I'm attaching a picture, you can clearly see the 5 spots on the left of the lamp.
Does it do the same to you? As far as I understand it's a common problem between cameras.
Any way to avoid, or at least reduce it?
Thanks

There are some camera apps (like DSLR) where you can change the ISO, most of the time when you change to a high ISO value the flare would be less seen

Just tried it and it works. The thing that bothers me is that everytime there is an artificial light there is a flare...
I'm not an expert here but I think a lot of phones exhibit this. My wife's s6 edge plus has weird light retractions in low light.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Yes. Most phones have it. It largely has to do with the lens attached to the phone. I've had more success on phones such as the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Use such phones and go into manual mode. In all cases I was able to eliminate the lens flare. Too bad I had to switch to the 3T which is a better phone but poor shooter. Can't find a way to eliminate it there yet.
You captured a UFO! No way! Lol. Anyways my experience with low light conditions has been great. This is at a party. So clear I can zoom in to the musicians faces clearly absolutely 0 editing. With Snapseed I can lower the brightness of the lights overhead

General Super slow motion camera

Does anyone has this kind of problem under a normal lit room in the night ?
I have had this since day 1 . Even in bright sunlight the slow motion and super slow motion are very blurry compared to my s9plus

I have the same issue I tried using super slow and it was unusable, the footage was very bad.
Keep the cam perfectly still, brace it on something.
That would help if cam shake is the cause.
In broad daylight all is just ok... Even normal pictures are worse in those light conditions... I wouldn't expect to much from video and even less from slow mo...
I have a US version S21 Ultra and tested with that with the newest Verizon firmware. Today while it was sunny I took a super slow mo video while my wife was driving. The video looks perfectly clear. However, I can confirm that trying to take SSM video while the lighting is not ideal causes it to be a grainy, horrible mess. I don't know that I'd say it's necessarily worse than the S9. Either one has real trouble taking any sort of slow motion video in poor lighting. It might be a little worse but the S9 wasn't great either. The best advice really is to get as much light as possible when shooting any sort of slow motion.

It's because of a higher frame rate I suspect.
Less exposure time per frame.
My Note 10+ behaves similarly.
The files for slow motion are also quit larger for the same time index compared to a normal vids.
