I stumbled across this video created by khalpowers on the XT720:
http://vodpod.com/watch/5015769-hd-recording-30-fps-xt720
This tells me that it's possible to get 30FPS out of this phone. Mine is only recording at 21fps according to Windows.
Will using one of khalpowers' ROMs fix my camcorder app?
I've tried the lgcamera app and I still get only 21FPS.
If any of you have any insight into this I would really appreciate it.
So I installed khalpowers' camera update and things seem smoother now, but I don't get 30fps. In Fraps I'm getting between 21fps and 24fps. It's better than it was before, but still not quite as smooth as I would like. The shutter lag in the camera is also better after the update.
Is this phone even capable of 30fps at 720p? The specs seem to say it can only do 24fps.
It can only do 24 FPS.
try khals video settings in lgcamerapro app. it allows for recording in 30fps.

It turns out that the FPS thing is really difficult to evaluate. This is because the phone records variable bit rate. The actual rate recorded seems to depend on how much light is hits the camera sensor (i.e. brighter scenes get higher framerates and darker scenes get lower framerates which makes sense to me).
To make things even more confusing the file contains a number as a "guesstimate" of the frame rate. This guesstimate is what most programs show. Unfortunately, the guesstimate seems to be incorrect most of the time. IIRC the only thing we found that seemed to show us the actual framerate was Windows Media Player in Windows 7.
There's a lot more about this in Dexter's stock221v13 development thread. Page 126 of that thread seems to be in the middle of it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939644&page=126 I think it started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11630078#post11630078 but it's really spread out.
Can someone post a link to kahl's camera update and khal's LGCamera settings. And should I apply the update if I'm running StealEpicBlue, or the ROM already has the update?
Thanks.
Even with lgcamera and khal's settings, the files are still not 30fps. Even watching his sample videos, they don't look any smoother than what I'm getting with his "fix" installed on the default camcorder app.
Anyhow, I can live with 24fps. I just wanted to know if 30fps was possible, and it seems as though it's not.
Thanks everyone for your input.
Perhaps khal can chime in and confirm that his files are indeed 30fps. IMO Fraps is a good way to verify it.
Higher rate on xt just 24fps.....that video from eclair..now can produce better than that with airplane mode ..
So............... does we have Camupdate on StealEpicBlue or not?
Thanks.
yes..complete patches included with cam update...

On stock 2.1.1, I did that :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088297
but, I mean it's already done in khalpowers ROM
Can someone post the best settings for LG Camera, please?
Thanks in advance.
When i switch to video in the camera app the view is zoomed in compared to taking a photo. This is the minimum zoom level in the video mode but would be zoomed in a few times in photo mode.
Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it? I've had this issue with all the roms i've tried - ICS & GB.
It's really annoying having to stand far away from the thing I want to record

yeah in video mode the image is little bit zoomed ( i would say 2x max) but that will not cause any trouble at all you can still take videos of near objects with ease...
BTW if you want your video quality to be quadrupled try this mod...the video quality is amazing im taking videos of my niece and they are absolutely godly when compared to crappy stock video
try the mod if you have custom rom installed

It is very annoying and I find I have to move quite far back to record a video of something right infront of me, unlike just taking a photo.
Yeah i know about that mod and love it, it increased video & photo quality by 1000%

Hi Guys,
I wanted to let you all know that I happened to install Google camera as I was not particularly impressed with the noisy low light photos of the stock camera app.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the results using the google camera after enabling the HDR mode ,the low lights are vastly better than the stock camera in HDR mode, also photos in HDR mode with the google camera are saved much faster than the stock camera in the HDR mode.
Please note that google camera doesn’t show up for me in play store ,so I have side loaded 3.1.025 version .it’s not all rosy though, as the video mode is not working for me and there are occasional FC’s while the pic has been clicked and if you press the home button.
But despite all these, I honestly can’t go back to the stock camera for low light photos,I would suggest you all give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
Cheers.
Attaching some low light picture taken using the google camera.dont have the stock app photos side by side for comparison.sorry.
I have found low light with stock RAW very good as you can control noise levels and lights, even the simple gallery app DNG post treatment make very good results

Thanks for the Tip mate ,would try it out.I am inclined towards google camera because without any post processing the images have lesser noise compared to the stock camera.I would try to post some better pics,I will admit the ones I have put dont make a strong case for themselves because I was just trying them out
Cheers.
