[email protected] video recording - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Is it possible on xz2?
It seems to be supported by any other sd845 smartphone, except this one.
Can it be enabled in any way? With a 3rd party camera application perhaps?

I would try it on OMNI or AOSP after the camera functions become stable.

[Q] Camera auto-focus not working in 3rd party apps??

Hello,
I've noticed that ALL third party apps that utilize the camera - don't auto-focus at all, only the native camera app.
I first noticed this when I installed Smart Tools and there is a distance thing that uses the camera, I just thought that it's a bug in that app.
Now I need/want to use my phone as a webcam, I've installed DroidCam, EpocCam and IP Webcam - none of them auto-focus. It's always blurred and no matter if the scene changes or anything - the focus is locked.
I'm on a non rooted phone, latest OTA (Sense 6).
Is there 1) a way to fix auto-focus and/or 2) a webcam app that automatically enforces auto-focus someway?

Is it possible to take RAW pictures?

Has anyone tried taking RAW (*.dng) pictures with Android 5.0+ custom roms and compatible 3rd party camera apps?

In case someone looking for an answer for this.
Self-answer: NO
Tried with Unofficial CM12.1 and Camera FV-5.
Result: RAW option is greyed out with unsupported camera notice.
RAW means all image data should be sent from Camera logic to the phone HW but that requires much more bandwidth between camera and phone HW.
Camera has its own circuitry and if its not designed for RAW imaging, it may be hard or impossible to implement this feature in a later software modification.

best camera application for the turbo

Can anyone suggest a good featured camera application that attributes the potential for turbos camera?
This one is pretty good. Just remember to reboot after installation and to set video on 1080p 30fps.

Even disabled the Original Camera app and Double Twist opens the modded camera automatically.

No audio in slow motion recordings in MIUI?

I've noticed this because I switch roms frequently, I had to record a slow motion video but on the MIUI rom there is no sound!
There is it with the google camera in LineageOS...Wtf.... Is this supposed to be a feature or a bug? I will never switch to MIUI once again, that's ridiculus

oh, Well last i was on lineage like when 14.1 was newest and there was no 8.0 rom so i dont remember much ;D
That is by design, so it's a feature. I use google camera for that, though (it has sound). Luckily if I want slow motion in google camera to work, it requires media_profiles.xml that will break video functionality of MIUI camera.

Yes, I experienced that, so I decided to use just LineageOS instead. Also for Camera2API

Question Anyone found any 3rd party camera apps working fully?

I've tried a whole bunch of camera apps and so far the stock app is the only one that seems to be able to access 60fps recording. Every camera2 probe app I've tried reports 30fps as the max reported speed the device can use which makes me think Oppo have locked out any other apps from accessing it.
Another possibility I'm wondering is if it's not actually true 60fps at all - and it's actually using frame interpolation at 30fps to create the 60fps - although it does seem more natural playing back the recordings and doesn't seem to have the slightly "unreal" look that interpolation usually gives.
There also seems to be no way to select any other camera besides one of the main cameras on the back and the selfie camera on the front when using 3rd party apps.
It just seems a bit of a f-you to have them tout the camera setup as a main selling point of the device while at the same time locking out other apps from using basic recording features like 60fps and making no mention of it. 3rd party apps also exist to provide additional tweaks and features that the stock one lacks and I was disappointed to find Filmic Pro and Open Camera can't access 60fps and has trouble with the shutter speed to stop the zebra stripes/banding in some lighting scenarios.
Have you tried porting Google camera? I just downloaded a modded port and can record at 4k 60fps. Looks Pretty good also.

Hey any chance of a link to the one you are using?
I have tried a few different apks and the only one that would actually install (or open) is the Camera PX v.8.1.008.341125824.
It suffers from zebra striping indoors and outdoors, pressing on "slo-mo" force closes the app, captures of both pics and video are fairly noisy or grainy, 4k mode force closes as soon as I switch the option and it doesn't have an option I can see to choose framerate.
Definitely would like to try a fully working one.

I used this one, although a bit of searching around and I found a couple of others I will try as well.
Greatness GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app By Greatness.

Here you can enable bottons for the different lenses. Be aware to use the alternative fix as the app crashes otherwise.
I didn't figure out how to use the stream configs though
