Hello,
Just got a used Razr HD Maxx, 4.4.2. Everything is fine except that I have a couple of camera issues:
1. Taking pictures: when the camera is focusing, I hear a click noise from the camera. Is this normal?
2. Taking video in low light: the camera does not focus. Before I click the record button, the camera finds focus just fine. As soon as I click the video record button, the focus immediately changes and becomes blurry. I cannot change focus once recording starts.
Has anyone experienced these issues? Thanks!

I've been trying to get better performance out of the stock video camera and here are my observations.
Stock video camera
Pretty good at default settings but cannot seem to set focus point manually
Cannot do macro video because of this
Very smooth recording, no dropped frames
Lgcamcorder
Video looks brighter than stock camera
Can set focus point by touching a point on the screen
Problem is the focus hunting doesn't stop, it focuses nice and sharp, and then drops the focus and keeps repeating this cycle endlessly.
Jerky, seems to halt for 2 seconds every so often
Does anyone know if the stock video camera can do macro video at all? How do we get it to work?
I had problems with LGCAMERA for my past phones. Though it has many options, there were times after having recorded a video, it would just not save the file and I was very frustrated by this as I lost some important videos!
yes, it looks good, but the focus hunting just never stops! Anyone had any luck with it?
I use lgcamera and set the focus mode to macro and have no problems with focus hunting.
Is it normal to not be able to touch-to-focus video? It seems to focus when I open the camera, then I switch to video and can't focus. This normal?
Has anyone noticed that when recording videos, the camera constantly alters focus. Is there any way to stop this? I run zydriod 3.5 with the stock camera and my wife has pure stock HOS but both have the same problem.
I have the same problem , even tested more roms and still got that constant focus noise.

Same here
By default, Video stabilisation is enabled for my phone. However, I've noticed at least two bugs/issues with it enabled. Since I'm not noticing any significant benefit from it, I've disabled it.
Here are the two issues with it so far (with Video stabilisation enabled):
1. When recording video (eg. in FHD), sound recording continues for about 1 second after video recording stops. In order to reproduce this convincingly (or make it more obvious to illustrate the issue), ensure you're moving the phone all the time while video recording, and ensure there's noise occurring all the time (obviously especially at the end and for a few seconds after you stop recording). Disabling Video stabilisation fixes this issue.
2. Zooming effect at the start of video recording - may mean you miss parts of what you actually want to record at the start. Of course, even with Video stabilisation disabled, you still need to set the camera at 16:9 resolution to prevent the zooming effect completely (several threads on the internet about this already).
Anyone else have experience with this? Can you reproduce the above issues?
The zoom can be cleared reproduced. I didn't try the sound issue...

I haven't tested for those issues but when video stabilization was on the video was ultra shaky (the irony). With this off, the stabilization is way better..
What software update are you guys on? I'm still on the April update. Not sure if the May or June update has improved this. Although the zooming effect will always be there.

Doing slow pans last night with stabilization enabled produced the same thing for me. Leaving it disabled from now on.

What update are you on? April? May? June?
I noticed that 4k video has alot of Stuttering. I am recording directly to the phones memory, and it happens if recording handheld or even on a stabilizer. Is anyone else having similar issues or know a fix?
Here is a sample video recording:
If you go to camera settings and turn off stabilization it will be fine. Ois will still work this just turns off eis.
Eis uses a lot of cpu power and thus the stuttering. Known issue. Hopefully there will be a fix

Thanks, didn't think a feature would make it not work well. I think it would be better if they disabled it by default since it causes issues in 4k. But this will work for now.
Same issue
I have the same issue but it lags then speeds up, I looked for a shutter setting in my camera, but there isn't one. Has there been a fix for this yet?
This has happened on any Android phone that I have used since the Note 4. I have the phone set to record to the SD card (A fast SD card capable of 100mb/s). Image stabilization and auto focus are turned off. I begin recording and everything is starts out smooth for a few seconds. Then a slight pause. The footage then speeds up to compensate. At first I thought this was merely a playback issue. I exported the video to my PC and the same lag is apparent. I hate to say this, but I have never had this issue on iPhones.
