Video image for the stock camera is horizontally stretched (aka: fat) in portrait mode, or horizontally compressed (aka: skinny) in landscape. Both front and back cameras are affected. Still camera images display correctly. Until today, I hadn't used the video camera feature since the nightlies before CM10.0 stable, but at that time it worked as it should. I've tried various combinations of CM10.0, CM10.1.0.3, VRBMF1, VRBMB1, and VRBMD3 with no success. Is this a current issue, or am I overlooking something?
Currently:
CM10.1.0.3
I535VRBMF1
Any suggestions?

Not sure what is causing your problem. Try grabbing the latest nightly and see if it fixes your problem. The code freezes done on stable releases put them so far behind the nightlies that it is very difficult to move bug fixes forward. The current nightlies have been fantastic.
Check your camera settings. I was playing around with my resolutions and there was one that made everything look distorted or fat

Using today's stable update (10.1.1), as well as yesterday's nightly (July 9) produces the same issue.
Changing between various resolutions proved inconsistent. Sometimes video would be skewed with a certain resolution, but if I changed to another resolution and switched back it wouldn't. The three resolutions (480p, 720p, 1080p) are all 16:9, so none of them should be skewed. After changing between resolutions a few times, I am now presented with "Camera error: Can't connect to the camera."
Switching between video/picture mode and various resolutions, I can eventually get the picture unskewed, but if I want another resolution or mode, I may need to randomly switch between them again to get what I want without a skewed image.
Can someone (on 10.1.1 or July 9 nightly) switch between each resolution several times while in video mode on stock camera (both front and back) to confirm this is only me? The issue occurs most often (possibly only) when switching from 480p to 720p.
Yeah, it doesn't appear to be random, it's always switching from 480 to 720 that skews the image. After the image is skewed, switching from video mode, to picture mode, then to video mode again corrects the image.

EVERY time I take a photo running the stock camera app, if flash is enabled (auto or manual), the phone saves a picture file a split second after the flash is back off-resulting in a dark photo saved. I have turned on an off HDR with no change (thinking it would be affecting the timing somehow).
The only way the flash is of any use is if I start to record a motion video file (with flash on the whole time) then touch the screen to capture still photos. Then the photos are lit up perfectly.
Has anyone seen this before? Any tips to fix?
I have had this issue on two Droid Maxx phones now. one unlocked bootloader downgraded to 4.2.2, the other with rooted on 4.2.2 (shipped with camera update firmware, disabled firmware upgrades on purpose to prevent 4.4)
Same thing often happens to me. It isn't every time I use the flash, but probably 75%. Once it does this crazy flash thing, then the camera no longer zooms properly until I close out of the program and reopen. It happens with the stock camera and 3rd party (camera360).
I've noticed that occasionally when recording video, I get bars down the screen, just random strips of colour. This appears in the recorded video too, not just while filming.
I haven't read about anyone else with the same issue, it seems to happen completely randomly but quite frequently. I think it happens on different video qualities too.
Is this fixable, is it a softeare/hardware problem?

Anyone?
I can't be the only one with this?

I have something similar when recording 1080p 60fps slow motion videos. It appears in the first seconds.
I also tried 720p 120fps and 1080p/4k in timelapse mode, and these modes doesn't have this problem. Will check if this issue is present in other video modes.

Same for me... It happens only using HFR modes and only in the first seconds...
I tested different modes and these stripes appears only on 60fps mode both 720p and 1080p. It looks more like a software issue to me

I've barely had my phone, only 4 days and I have the same issue. On all video modes, and different apps. It's similar to a rendering error you can get in Final Cut if you have dodgy graphics drivers.
Very annoying, and sometimes during recording the video crashes, and the camera suddenly can't be accessed until I reboot the phone.
Ya, i'm getting this issue as well, it works fine on a few modes, and it's only for the first second or two.
I can confirm this issue too. It's only in the first few seconds and using the stock camera app on CM11S. I took a slow motion video too and the same thing happened. Doesn't happen if I record a video using google camera though so I think it must be something with the stock ROM/camera.
This doesn't seem to be a common problem, so i wonder if it's hardware..... I hope not.
Hi guys, have the same problem [email protected] and [email protected] It is look like some autofocus problems.
One more thing: what setting of autofocus u guys use for normal speed video? Cause i discover that on auto focus camera wont change focus itself, i have to touch the screen.
Same problem, only in HFR modes....
Yeah HFR only in 1080p for me. 720p is fine

It's hardware.
this just happens after you install lots of apps. A fresh and wiped install doesnt happens.
Inside the chinese oppo forums is full of this nightmares. Oppo quality is a S#@$T...
Same for me in all kinds of apps...reboot usually fixes the problem...i doubt its a hardware problem...
This happens only if use "Continuous video" mode for the Focus mode. This does not seem to happen when using the "Auto" mode.
The same happens for me with CM13.1 and even in photo mode
I think I have read somewhere that those lines have something to do with the CM camera HALs. Maybe switching to ROM (like Sultans) may help.
Hi,
Not sure if it's hardware or software issue. I tested latest CM11 nightly and CM12 nightly - both the same. While recording with any 3rd party app, I noticed lost focus and zoom every 1-2 seconds.
It's really annoying. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9dBt11t-LA
There is exactly the same effect while recording with CameraNext with autofocus set to continous. Do you have the same effect? If I set autofocus to auto in CameraNext, there is no autofocus at all
as i can see, its trying to focus on the closest point, try an other focus mode(infinity should work i think).
when you touch the screen to focus somewhere else is it working?

Yes, but it's trying it even if there is no any closer point. Seems one of latest CM12 updates solved this effect. However, any other than continous in CameraNext causes autofocus to be not working at all, I think it should not be
did you try to install an other rom? with the 44s i dont have that kind of problem, but i had an other one with the focus, but totally different than yours(mine doesnt focus on very close objects all the times )
I tried cm11 nightly, now I'm on CM12. I like cm12 so far and I don't really want to switch back to 4.4
Ok nothing is fixed, I wonder why nobody else experienced the same... hardware problem??
The images taken with the main camera app get ****ed up - they become cropped in a weird way or the colors change, or both.
The weird part is that it might not happen immediately upon taking a picture. It may be OK at first, but after a couple hours, the problem appears. It doesn't happen with every image and it doesn't happen with other camera apps or instagram/snapchat camera, but the quality of pictures taken with the main camera app is unmatched.
I attached some sample images. How could I resolve this? I'm on BlackDiamond ROM, if it matters.
Has anyone else also noticed photos come out with weird, massively boosted brightness and everything when taken with 2x zoom or higher on stock camera? Strange thing is even at 1.9x zoom everything is fine but 2x and beyond the photo is basically ruined because of this. Very annoying.
HDR and other enhancements are turned off, yet this occurs.
Doesn't happen on GCam. Any idea/solutions? Thanks
Tried here. No issue. And 2x zoom photo from stock cam was better than GCam 8.3 for me.
Didi you activate HDR and IA options in stock cam?
Yes they're all deactivated. No problem upto 1.9x zoom, but as soon as 2x zoom is engaged, there's a sudden although small change on viewfinder white balance. And final photos look extremely bright and noisy compared to 1.9x and below, as if some weird filter is put on. I've downgraded the camera but still happens.
Btw, bootloader is unlocked, not sure if that's got anything to do with it.
Its interesting if you don't have this problem. What's ur software channel and build number? Thanks
Without this bug, you'll generally get better zoomed images on stock camera because it'll use 64mp crop instead of only 16mp recognized by GCam. But this bug ruins it.
Unzoomed though, GCam's HDR+ is still the best.
Just discovered this thread.
Yes, I have the same problem. But it looks like the effect is not the same everytime. Maybe depending on light (indoors vs. outdoors)?
I noticed it happens when i zoom in in worse scenes. It could be that the automatic camera mode is overcompensating by cranking the iso way too high. Have you tried using the pro camera mode?

Yes, but I don't think pro mode uses 64mp crop like auto mode, just a crop of 16mp, which doesn't have much detail that's required during zoom. Also it's annoying trying to switch to pro mode everytime.
