Is there any way to increase the frame rate while recording with front camera? This phone can only do 15 fps even at lower resolution at indoors as I tested it and video recording indoor is poor as well as the audio that came with it
And I observed that the front camera records video much better that the rear in indoors
Yes camera needs some software improvements.
I am having some minor and major bugs with my new Nokia 7 Plus camera.
First of all while recording videos even in quiet rooms the audio track is filled with a loud hiss. Is that normal, or a hardware fault? Test-Video
Secondly i have a strange bug: as soon as i use the camera zoom in my stock camera app, the zoom won't work for any other app anymore, until i reboot my device (snapchat, whatsapp, instagram). After a reboot the zoom is working fine for those apps, but as soon as i start the stock camera app and use the zoom, it stops working again for those apps until i reboot.
In the end i would like to know if there is any possibility to enable OZO Audio System wide and not only in the stock camera app?

Hey guys, after 4 days of using my brand new Nokia 7 plus i have encounterd several problems, mostly regarding the camera.
I have problems over several apps:
- Instagram no sound in stories while in vibration mode.
- Snapchat video quality is very very poor and pixilated
- Camera Zoom in Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp sometimes works and sometimes not.
- Stock Camera app, sometimes there are glitches when the camera is switching from wide to tele in lowlight. Overall video performance is not that good as expected to be. Also Google Camera apk delivers better results for me, so this could be a software issue as well.
- Playstore and Recent apps window sometimes lags
Anyone else experiencing those bugs?

I notice some stutters too when using recent apps. I guess that could be fixed with optimization. Let's hope that they'll do that. I have no issues with camera, I'm pretty pleased with it.
Some Finnish users have reported noise issues in video recordings. Even in quiet rooms the audio track is filled with a loud hiss. It seems that this problem is presisten but only in few devices. That could suggest that there's some faulty hardware in stock.

Guess i am experiecing the exact same problem. Do you really think this is a faulty hardware, or is that normal?

While filming this there was no wind nor waterfall near by. The background hiss sounds like a static mono noise.
Having OZO audio only in stock camera and not even a dedicated audio recording tool is *really* pissing me off. Also, today I shoot a video at 1080p and noticed that the audio is a tiny bit out of sync. Is there any Nokia feedback app to report this issues?

yeah this is really anoying, hopefully they fix this with a software update!
would you mind checking that issue for me:?

Sometimes the zoom in those apps also just zoom x2 and then nothing happen

Using Mobile Nokia Care default app to ask about enabling OZO Audio System wide in phone and not only in camera stock app and their reply was: "At the moment, that is not possible, since the OZO technology needs to be licensed"
So I asked them to recored this as a request to be done in a future system update.
So I hope it will happen soon because recording audio without using OZO is really bad
Nokia 7 plus Google camera slow motion not working
Sorry to bring back a dead thread but I'm also getting the Snapchat/Instagram/Messenger zoom issue. It either zooms fine, jumps between 2 zoom points (I'm guessing jumping between the two cameras) or it doesn't zoom at all. It's getting irritating.
Bugs/problems:
-Front camera 4mpx and not 16mpx in all the apps that are not Nokia.
-Really low audio recording in al apps that are not nokia.
-Video stabilozation working really bad, ruinning the videow.
-Camera2 api not working in 2X cam. (Not necesary a bug(

Still confused with the Nokia Seven Plus front camera, Saw that the front camera is 16 million pixels, enough to check with #AIDA64 4mpx sorry for my English.

It is false advertisement. It is actually 4mpx upscaled to 16mpx by software.

The main sensor in the phone is a Sony IMX362 Exmor RS, not a samsung one. So i don't think that information is correct.

I think that Sony IMX362 and Samsung S5K2L7 are almost the same sensor. Both of them 7.06 mm (1/2.6") sensor size, 1,4 μm pixel size, 4032 x 3024 (12,2 MP) resolution and dual pixel PDA. How are you so sure that Nokia 7 Plus uses IMX362? Maybe Nokia does the same as some Xiaomi and Samsung smartphones, that use a Sony sensor in some batches and its Samsung equivalent in other batches
Anyway, I cannot believe that Nokia could have implemented a front 4 MP sensor interpolated to 16 MP. It would make sense 3-4 years ago, when we were on the "MP rush", but today the price of camera modules doesn't depend on sensor resolution. In fact, most of the best smartphone cameras have 12 MP (iPhone XS, Pixel 3, Samsung S10) and in the other hand you have a lot of cheap chinese smartphones with 16 or 20 MP sensors, so it would be stupid to use an interpolated 4 MP sensor having a lot of 16 MP sensor at really low prices.

Nokia is indeed using the S5K2L7 (Wide) and S5K3M3 (Tele) sensor for the rear cameras of Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 7 plus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_8_Sirocco
In the MWC video ( https://youtu.be/BaUh9HgjJtQ?t=2170 ) of Nokia 7 plus, they announced that the camera would be the same.
The front camera on 8 Sirocco is S5K4E8.
If Nokia's pixel binning claims are true, then the front camera of 7 plus is most probably S5K3P9.
How did I arrive at the conclusion ?
Photo resolution taken with the front camera 4608 x 3456 which is the closer to the maximum resolution of S5K3P9.
So indeed the sensor on front is a 16MP with Tetracell technology.
Heavy problems with white balance always, the video is terrible with the tertible stabilization and noise even in good ligth. For me video is unusable.
So the zoom bug also affects other apps. Hehe. That's interesting and annoying at the same time.
Guys, anyone having this problem too? If you zoom from above 1x to 5x (before the switch happens) all pictures from my camera become almost monochrome, I screen recorded what happens.
Check this link, I uploaded a video of what happens to my viewfinder whenever I click the shutter button in zoom option.
Check for example the difference between 1x and then above it

Hey did you find a fix for this? I just picked up a P30 pro and i discovered the exact same behavior with my camera. im seriously considering returning this device because of it!!!
Errrrm, it's a grey cat sat next to a grey cupboard?
Yes, the issue is there on my phone too.... hope they'll fix it somehow
Telephoto lens is a lot lower spec than the main 1x lens, only 8MP
Sometimes for fairly close subjects like that cat and stuff, you're better off using main camera @ 1x and cropping
Help
Hi did you manage to get this fixed? I have the same issue when I zoom the viewfinder is full colour but the picture de saturates when you press shutter
I have been to. Huawei who replaced the camera and I'm still having the issue
Please help if you have the answer
Many thanks
This seems to be a lower specced lens or sensor more than software, it makes the telephoto lens useless.
I have the same problem. To debunk some of the replies, it's not because the cat is grey. It's not because the telephoto lens is of lower quality because it's not used between 1.1-2.9X zoom where muted colors happen and what does "only 8MP" have to do with the colors.
There's definitely a software bug. Like others said, it looks good in the viewfinder but comes out almost greyscale when saving. A bug, just like the main camera being out of focus when zooming back out in video recording. Such simple bugs but still not fixed.
Noticed this too :/
I have this problem too. I had it on emui 9 and now on emui 10. I writed to the support but they think it's hardware defect..
1 year with this phone and the problem isn't resolved yet. And not only that problem, white balance is too blue, the sharpness is really hard, absurd amount of contrast. I'm very disappointed with this phone, because was publicize as "the best photography phone" and It's a lie. This phone do "good photos" if you hate photography.
With my previous phones (S7 and S9+), I found video stabilisation did more harm than good. With the S21 Ultra, it actually does a very good job stabilising video when moving.
However, I've disabled video stabilisation by default even on the S21 Ultra now. I rarely record video while moving, so there isn't much benefit in my context, and there can actually be a lot of "harm". One example of this is when recording video with the 10x zoom lens - I've noticed significant "wobble" effect when switching to this lens. It's hard to describe, but it's as if the whole picture/video is "wobbling" and distorting when using this lens. This only occurs when video stabilisation is enabled and only with the 10x Zoom lens (I think I may have noticed it on the 3x Zoom lens a few months ago too). When disabled, this issue goes away.
Can anyone else reproduce this? You may need to test in different lighting conditions - I find it's most noticeable with outdoor lighting. A separate issue is what I would describe as "micro-jitters" appearing when video stabilisation is enabled.
Same here, I don't recall having this issue when first purchased.
This was always present for me. And I always thought it is normal...
So I have my S23 now for 1,5 months and I bought for my vacation to Japan, to make some good videos.
Now that Im editing the videos I noticed the quality is sometimes really bad, especially when moving.
I always move very slow for a smooth video, but it seems like it was even better on my Galaxy S10!?
Also it sometimes seems really grainy...
Horizontal or vertical lines from buildings or lights or whatever start subtly shaking when I pan the camera slowly.
Is this a known issue? Or is there something wrong with my camera?
I recorded most on 0.6 ultrawide, but I check the few videos with the 1.0 and they have the same problem.
My photo quality on the other hand is perfect, so I dont think its the problem I read about in the other thread of a common camera issue.
I think it's happening because of the electronic image stabilization. You can turn off stabilization in camera settings.
