[Q] How is the video mic at a gig? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

See post 8 for an update
original question:
---------------------------
Anyone used the Z3 at a gig yet?
My wife has the Z1C and she went to a gig a few weeks ago, when she got home she was devistated as the videos she took sounded awful, everything was distorted/clipped
Does the Z3 improve on this?
cheers

The Z3 does have various recording modes (for loud environments, normal environments, and another one). Haven't had the possibility to test it yet, but hope it helps indeed. Common problem with many phones including the Z1, Galaxy series, LG G2 (Lumia 920/930, HTC One and iPhone are exceptions).
If there is a proper way to test it without going to a concert I'd give it a try but living in a flat I can't really turn up the volume that loud

Standard is auto yeah, you can change it in the general settings. Settings -> sound settings -> microphone sensitivity.
So not in the camera app...

I tested it in auto mode recording one of my drum students playing along to loud music & it was absolutely on par with my htc one m7 & lumia 925. Stereo recording & good mics DO indeed make a difference!

Brilliant, thanks

Awesome, having a concert on the 27th so I'll be sure to give it a try there as well...

OK, just got back from seeing Bryan Adams at the Leeds Arena last night, I was on the 4th row so it was a good test for the camera
here's what I found:
there's slight clipping in the audio, however, after running it through Adobe Premiere, I found out that it's only in the right channel, the left is a brilliant recording so I removed the right and made it mono, turns out this mic on the camera is brilliant for audio at a concert, if you are happy to remove one of the channels
HOWEVER
the video is truly awful, it never focused (he had spotlights on him all the time so was well lit), tried 1080p & 4k, both were terrible, luckily I had a QX30 with me so I tried that for 30 seconds and that was fine so I have a little bit of video that's OK. Touching the screen to focus did nothing.
Conclusion: brilliant audio totally let down by the video making it unwatchable

Hmmm, audio isn't too bad indeed (not great, but so much better compared to Z1 for example) but sucky about the focus issue... Gonna check it out myself as well. Going to a concert tomorrow so I'll see if I can shoot something there as well...
Thanks for the update!

Here's a clip I recorded last night with the Audio Recorder app.

That focusing prob def sucks. What were your settings for focus mode & metering?

WB Auto, EV 0
that's all I can change in 4K

In 1080p, try center metering & different focal settings - like object tracking, etc... Maybe you'll have better results? 4k is rather restricting re: settings.

I recorded it at 1080, automatic everything. I just set the microphone sensitivity at the lowest before I went and it is a good thing that I did because it was LOUD.
I have another video from the back of the venue. I am uploading it right now to share. The sound is even better but with the first one I was about 5 meters from the PA. Stay tuned!
Edit: The second video is here. Enjoy!

Cheers! Proper sound indeed, focus is still a bit off... Hard to test though (and you also don't want to be busy messing with your camera too much, you just want to enjoy of course )

Thanks, guys! About the focus: the light tech loooved using the blinders and flashing all the things (insert appropriate meme) so I am actually amazed at the focus there is. ☺
But as you said too, I was busier with drinking wine with my friends and headbanging than fiddling with the camera. ?
But folkmetal is an awesome test imo. Loud, lots of low and plenty of details in the mid and high.
I film and record a lot of music and I'm very pleased with my choice of phone!

[Q] Where 1080p videos?

Can anyone with a Sensation post some 1080p clips on Youtube, or maybe upload an untouched version on some filehosting site? I heard they did some wizardry and drastically improved the video compared to previous offerings. Pretty please with sugar on top?
I second this
I'm just trying now, not sure what the outcome will be

Theres a couple on my channel uploaded, then a longer one is on its way once its uploaded. Includes filming my fish, my chameleon then going outside, so different lighting perspectives.

Yes please upload unmodified clip onto say mediafire, megaupload, oron, filesonic, rapidshare, etc. Would appreciate it.

Sorry to say, but the indoor video does not look good at all. Lots of noise and artifacts, blur, and dropped frames. The most annoying thing for me (which it shares with the Atrix and other Motorola phones) is it can't adjust exposure smoothly, like someone playing with the dimmer in a room; the slightest tilt and change in light suddenly dims or brightens the whole picture in big steps. Very annoying to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IOR5mGRibY
In the outdoor video, seems to suffer from the same problems as the iPhone, but seems worse. Overblown and oversaturated colors and contrast, killing detail and giving it a smeared cartoony appearance. Exposure problems are less noticeable but still a problem.
Doesn't seem much better than HTCs older phones. I think the Atrix might even be better. The iPhone4, GS1/GS2/Nexus, G2x and N8 are all better.
Here are a couple of videos from that guy that has all those youtube videos already. Sam's Tech. Makes a good comparison with the GS2 since its all from the same field, time, and wind conditions.
Sensation 720p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC9R35x5tEQ
Galaxy S II
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jBQPMzhXQ0
Sensation 1080p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP6Zjs5prW4
Galaxy S II 1080p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDV91zfm6VU
GS2 is much smoother and more detailed, with better colors and far less exposure issues. Just really far ahead in a lot of respects. Sensation still has exposure issues. Colors/contrast are way overblown/oversaturated like the previous videos, killing detail. Framerate is not smooth, quite jerky. And no screaming foul, since they are both Youtube uploads. It is smooth sometimes, but then stumbles quite a bit on others. The weirdest thing are the colors. They shift very dramatically. The grass goes from pale green one moment (like its overcast) to yellowish and warm the next, probably because of some exposure issue as well since it changes only at certain angles. Then there's the very conspicuous patches of blue/purple that sometimes appear on the grass or strewn atop the trees. Ghoulish. The strange color artifacts and overall weird colors remind me of an old VHS tape on a jacked up tube TV, not to mention the other details.
Another issue is the audio capture. Both the GS2 and Sensation have sucky audio capture (The G2x, iPhone4, and N8 are much better), but the Sensation fares worse in this comparison since the sound of the wind is needle sharp like lightning cracking (GS2 more like thunder thud) and the guy's voice has a lot more of those sharp screechy cutoff sounds. And no idea of the technical term for this.
Video capture and quality is very high on my priority list, probably tied with screen quality for number one spot. I know some people don't give a hoot about the camera or video of a phone, but there's a ton of people who do, especially as a convergent device. If you are looking for good video capture, there are much better choices out there.
Could be worse. Check out this issue with the SGS II
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QznuN_ZUh-A&NR=1
Some sort of random pink spot in the middle of every pic/video. Apparently quite a common issue there. New firmware doesnt fix it either.
Not saying I don't agree with everything you said about the Sensations videos. Exposure looks likes its being controlled by someone with a palsy. All over the place. Disappointing really.
Wow man, just read ur posts, they are all bashing HTC Phones/ Loving SGS Phones. BTW when u have sun setting on fiels it really gives the ground a pale yellow colour so if the video shows that it isnt a bad thing also when u limit the area to just the grass it focuses in that frame and adjusts the ISO and Exposure if its set to auto. So imo showing pale yellow colour when the sun is setting is a good thing, I know my Sony Cam takes the lighting into action unlike my nexus one cam who would always try to dim the lighting to the minimum thus kicking out the colours due to lighting, About SGSII or any other phone audio being better u can just thank your fanboyism for such judging. This is the first time i heard anyone sayin Mono audio sounds better than stereo :/. The audio might not be one with studio quality fidelity quality, but still awesome for a phone video Sensation video was equally smooth, its just that the guys hands were shaking, u can't blame your wife for becoming pregnant when u forgot to use a condom. And like u said Moderators dont give a rat ****
Just putting up another of mediafire. Off to work again so will post up a link later. Its outside today, so be prepared for alot of wind noise Bloody weather.

Looked ok and sound was alright despite wind. Now question. Does the video camera have any whitebalance options at all? There was quite a lot of washout of the colour in bright light. I would like to be able to set whitebalance to sunny perhaps to combat that kind of thing.

Yes, I saw it in a video and just checked the manual where it's listed and gives the impression that it is available (the photo only options mention "photo only" and white balance doesn't have that comment).

Just saw it, seems quite nice. Not as much detail as I'd like but more than decent. And definitely better than the first 720p videos for phones (those were absolute rubbish). Hey, it's even better than some "1080p" tv shows I've seen (you know the ones, where it seems the FullHD was achieved through very aggressive warpsharp algorithms).
Outdoor clips look good! but I'm worried about indoor / low light.. The samples from even the G2X looked smooth in very low light, but the Sensation clip looked to have the same awful judder that my Nexus One has..
PygoShlee, if you would be so kind, can you take a low light / indoor night time video in 720p and see if it's smooth?
(G2x clip for comparison in a dark room: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZnP23jd_A4)
I'll do it this afternoon

[Q] Sensation Movie Urgent Query!

In a nutshell. Im gettting married next weekend and purchased an Olympus SZ-30MR camera to film in 1080p. But it's eating through the propiety batteries really fast and it takes hours to charge.
I was going to buy the Sensation after the honeymoon. But now im thinking of getting one this week to do most of the filming.
People who have one already can you test:
1. How long you can film without it stopping? Cameras limited to 29 mins.
2. How much filming can you do until battery is nearly flat?
3. Is quality any good?
Will be using a 32 gb card.
Big thanks in advance.

As far as I can see you're only limited by the size of your SD card. I just uploaded a quick test I did to youtube, it's probably still processing the higher quality versions. 30 second video is 38.6MB, 1920x1088 resolution (yes, 1088), 29fps.
It's definitely not the best video to check quality, but I was more interested in seeing the actual size of the videos created.
No clue on how much it drains battery as I've hardly used it so far

10596kbps and it's 3gp format. Thought that was strange. I always associate 3gp with the very first phone cameras.

Thanks mate. Did you check the settings for that? Maybe there are some options to switch between 3gp and mp4?
Not a fan of 3gp. Bit rate is on the lower side. How do you feel when you view the clips on TV/monitor?
No option to change file format. Seems to be 3gp for all quality settings.
While changing quality settings I did notice it tells you how much video you can take for each setting. I could do about 3 and a half hours on my 16GB, with about 15GB free space atm.
Video looks nice on my laptop (1080p screen) and a bit better on my TV (also 1080p) when I'm sat on the sofa of the other side of the room. It's obvious there's compression there, but it's better than what I was expecting for a phone camera, and I definitely don't see any need for a "real" camcorder as long as I have this. It's more than enough for any "home videos".
I would in no way use a mobile to film memorable things like a wedding as you will regret it.
Take a good look at the Sony Cybershot HX9 that records excellent 1080p video. Excellent image stabilization, video and sound quality. Excellent camera too!
Really don't even bother with any mobiles for things like that.

Yeah go borrow/rent a good camera/camcorder or even hire a wedding film person (make sure they don't run off with your money). Video on phones is only for convenience. If you can do MUCH better, why wouldn't you?

The Sensation video as far as I can see after looking at a few Sensation videos on You Tube is even at 1080p its similar to the Desire HD video recording capabilities with the whole 'going dark and light all the time as you move around' which is ok but in honesty you will get better from a good compact camera as mobile video in general the sound is quite tin like.
I would try and get most capturing done on your compact camera as its going to be better. Shame you cant get a Sony Cybershot HX9 as that is a frigging awesome compact camera for photos and HD video just come out as well.

Ok. In MY opinion it should be good enough. Since you have the good camera which eats through the battery like mad I have the following impression. You were planning on getting the Sensation either way so might as well get it now. You can use the Olympus for those WOW moments and then use the Sensation for those fun spontaneous moments (seems good enough for that in my opinion) so you don't have to be constantly be worrying about the proprietary batteries and their charge.
But like I said, that's MY take on it.

Just a note on sound, if the Sensation mic is as good as the HD2 I will be chuffed. Went to Ibiza last year and stood next to loud speakers filming, it didn't distort and can easily recreate the bass. Blown away by it not distorting.
Yeah new mobile should arrive today. Got a pretty mint deal to make it worthwhile.
Thanks for responses people.

Video quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Huawei Nexus 6P come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Crisp, but lack of OIS makes for really choppy videos if you don't have a steady hand. The EIS helps a little but not much
The video image quality is great however, the lack of OIS really shows and audio quality when recording heavy bass is like nails to a chalkboard. Unfortunate for those who came from a Nexus 5 will have to endure another year of static bass audio.
The video quality is not bad but i can see same strange lines when i record a video
Does anyone's nexus make a noise when focusing almost like a low clicking? You really need to put your ear up to the camera to hear it, mine makes it and if I watch the video playback loud enough I also hear it.
Well, video quality isn't so bad honestly.
https://youtu.be/UwDMQgeRFeU
There's a cover of a song, and throughout the entire video - you can hear faint and constant clicking noises. The room where it was recorded is dead silent, so I'm not sure where it's coming from but it's annoying!
Video quality is excellent. However shooting at Higher frame rate (120 or 240) there is some pixelation on the screen even though resulting video doesn't show that.
There is one thing, if you are shooting slow motion video and go to review your video and then come back to camera, it defaults back to normal speed back. You have to select slow motion mode again everytime you exit out of camera viewfinder screen.

sounds good but what is that clicking....are you saying you did this recording and you heard nothing of the sort with your human ear while recording it live?
assuming you have a human ear??
Did a test side by side next to a Z3 Compact, camera was MUCH better.
digital stabilization is terrible, ur better off just turning it off. Its just to wobbly and unnatural.
and I get a little bit of white noise on recordings, when recording in quiet areaa.
but I like the recording more then the Note5 that I have as well, note does shoot birhter videos, but softer and less contrast. Especially in lower light where note produces unrealistic images.
Is there any app to view the video frame by frame similar to iPhone?

Show off Cinema Pro Cinematic Videos and Movies

Hey all,
Since no one has started this thread. Let me kick it off.
Please share your videos you shot through Cinema Pro app.
I'm impressed with video quality of these camera(s). I was planning to get Sony a6400 for shooting cinematic travel videos. But I'm going to give this phone a try before investing. This phone won't hold a candle to top end mirrorless cameras but for a rookie, someone like me, this phone is beyond impressive. I'd say it's a great device for people who like cinematography or want to learn it.
I've shot a couple of 4k videos. Handheld and colour graded with LUTs in post processing. I prefer mobile workstation. That's why I edit all my videos on my iPad pro with LumaFusion app.
Here they are--
Weekend 17 Mile Drive
.
Los Angeles Vacation
.
Sacramento, California
This one was shot on gimbal but stabilization was turned off in Cinema Pro app which I didn't notice while recording. That's why footage is still laggy and stuttery. This one is not colour graded. Colour and looks are straight from CinemaPro app.
Also, phone was on initial firmware. Fresh out of the box.
you could put with which program you make assemblies

Thank you for the suggestion. I updated original post.
Thank you for the videos!
I still struggle to understand how this app works and what to do whith it. You said you didn't see the stabilization was off? Where do you find this setting?

Basically Cinema Pro app let's you shoot videos in manual mode. Giving you more control over lenses. You can play with shutter shutte and ISO till your scene is properly exposed and set those values. It also let's you select white balance to suit your indoor or outdoor environment.
Manual focus is very useful when you want to dramatically reveal something by going out of focus to sharp focus.
I tend to shoot all my videos in 4k at 29.98fps which I think works best for me. Also, I go with "Venice CS" look. I found that to be flatter of all looks and easier to colour grade in post processing.
You can find stabilization option when you're selecting lens(it's in tip right hand corner as seen in the attached image)

My trouble was you can only set iso and shutter speed manually, and before the record. That basically means you have to do different take when lights change. Not like the standard camera phone. So it's a completely whole different way of recording things.
Anyway, I did some record at a free live concert yesterday.
It was the first time and I found out that I have to be extremely careful where I put my hands on the phone to not block the microphones. Maybe putting off the cover from the phone would be even better.
Here is the video, with a lot of sound issue due to my hand on the microphones. But image is good, considering the conditions, 4K and HDR, and well stabilized in the end, it's handheld.
You even have the example of what it does on the other phones, sometimes they can't keep up with the stroboscopic lights.

I purposely choose to share this one because of the sound problem, well, that is not a problem, but a warning, be careful with the way you keep your phone in hand. I don't have this sound fluctuation on every video I've made.

Question Horrible Mic quality S22 Ultra at club

So I used to have the samsung A71. And I go to Techno gigs alot and sometimes record a song I like to ID later. The sound quality was very good and bass did not get distorted alot, even when close to the speakers/subs. So I thought it would be the same on my S22 ultra but yesterday I went to a club and the sound is just horrible.. On a phone that costs 3x the amount. The sound is just distorted and bad.
But weirdly enough my instagram story is not distorted (filmed with the instagram camera) Anyone know why this could be?
EDIT: Proof and video reference.

Hey sorry, i've edited the post with links to the video's
Thanks, yes crazy bad, if it's confirmed, no finger above one of the mics ? Even on Instagram it's not really good, you have Snapdragon or Exynos ?
I've got multiple video's so no finger on the microphone. I use the Spigen Thin fit case.
I live in Belgium so I got Exynos. Model number is SM-S908B/DS
In 2 weeks i'll go to the same club again. I'll try some 3rd party camera apps like Open camera and Gcam.
Honestly in the first video the sound started to open up and get better at the 10 second mark right before the video ends. Maybe it was just a matter of where you were positioned at..

No sounds like the music stop the bass and it became better. Probably the fingers according to me, well I hope so.

That's just when the bass stopped, there's speakers left, right and in front of me, so either where I aim the camera the sound will always be the same
5 more video's of yesterday, I think it may be software related, cuz the instagram one isnt half that bad. with the same microphones

Try to use a sound recorder app and see if it will make any difference.

Good idea, i'll try that
Yup, I believe you. It's pretty bad.... Especially when the bass hits it becomes very distorted..
You're holding it wrong!
Seriously, stop recording video holding the phone vertically!
Ugh!
Turn off audio zoom.

I don't think keeping my phone horizontally will have effect on the microphone quality.
And if you mean 'zoom in mic' I disabled this

No it doesn't affect mic quality but it makes videos unwatchable to most!
On a serious note to address overloading audio or AGC on very loud inputs this is bad as I haven't seen this for many generations of Samsung devices!
Try Pro Mode (video) where you have control over audio inputs, for example.

I understand but these video's are usually only for instagram (so has to be vertical) or to find a track ID so doesnt matter how it looks, only how it sound haha
I usually film horizontal when I want to show it
Like this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/H7eCkgJL6vrnFBQG9
FYI these video's above are filmed with Oneplus 7 pro. and the quality is pretty okay. Might return to oneplus if that's still the case.
And for the pro mode, i'll add it to the list of things to try in 2 weeks. Thanks
So guys, I'm getting horrible mic quality under water.
