How does slow mo work with this phone? Is it even possible?
Talking about high quality smooth slowmotion not the annoying cheap stuff if you know what I am talking about.

I used to have an LG Viewty, and I hated it. Absolutely loathed it. The only thing worth having on the phone was the slow motion video recording - 120 frames/second.
I know this is a slightly niche feature, but as a golfer I found it really useful. Seeing that people have been able to enable things like 720p recording, will it theoretically be possible to increase the frame rate as well? So lower res, but with a frame reate of at least 50? Or is this a fundamental thing with the sensor?

I own a Samsung Galaxy S and my girlfriend has got a S8500 Wave. She can do high-fps videos with her camera app, but in the Galaxy S its not available.
Im wondering what causes this, as far as I know both mobiles have nearly the same hardware specs, so the Galaxy S should be able to do slow motion capturing. Only thing different between the phones is that the Wave runs badaOS while the SGS runs Android.
Would it be possible to tweak the camera to allow it?
Necro, could this be possible to do with a app or something...
is there realy noone who knows anything about this? i think its a realy cool feature that has to work somehow since the DroidX has slomo capturing.. I searched everywhere but it seems noone is interested..
Does anyone know anything about it?
I'm really interested in knowing more about this as well. I actually ended up buying the Viewty at the time, simply due to the niche slow motion feature and since I'm into animation, I used that as a quick reference tool to study motion.
This would be an awesome niche feature as most of the high-end smartphones coming out now seem to be quite similarly spec'd. I currently have a HTC DHD and did look around initially for something like this to get slow mo but no result.
Wish more people would take interest into it.
Maybe we should screen the entire season of Spartacus again to get everyone interested again, eh?

Hey all, I have a bit of an odd request.
I am curious if I can screencast my SGS4's screen to my computer with a high enough FPS rate so I can then stream this screencast onto Twitch.tv...
I know screencasting is pretty easy, but I don't know if I can get the FPS high enough so make it possible to stream it on Twitch, I saw a guy using his iPhone to do it, and I feel like there should be a way to do it on Android too.
Thanks,

I'm sorry but I'm a huge slow-mo fan and I feel the slow-mo on the oneplus isn't slow enough.. it still seems fast to me..
I was wondering would it even be possible to get to 240fps? This is a feature i'd pay for!
Also interests me. The slowmo vid still looks pretty fast.
Oh and, is it possible to somehow record 60fps realtime vids? I'd really like that..

You're right... its terribly fast, the only way I can think it to slow it down on my computer which is just effort, 60fps would be really smooth,
Both features shouldve been on the opo as standard ages ago. Maybe not the 240fps as much as the 1080p real time 60fps thoiugh
Bump for interest..
I would really like to see 720p at 240 frames/s, on our phone! Could be nice, if some expert could tell if it would even be possible?
I'm sure the bandwidth is limiting the fps/resolution. Maybe you could achieve higher framerate by lowering the resolution but the result might be quite ugly.
Very interested too. Would a feature like this be written into cyangenmod or into a unique OPO ROM?
How do we get /ask for this???
Hi folks,
I love my OPO , it's a cool phone but there's something annoying about it that i've noticed.
The video taken from front camera during low light is very choppy , with slow frame rate, looks kinda made from a cheap phone.
Even the preview is very choppy. In apps like Snapchat, this is very visible.
Outside, performance is good, no frame dropping. But inside, low light , it is very bad. Other phones i;ve used like Note II and S4 were smooth even during indoor video capture using front camera.
Am I the only one facing this ? :silly:
Is there a fix available ? anyone...
I'm not sure how to to about this. One thing I really care about on a phone I purchase is video recording quality, more specifically 1080p/60fps and slow motion. Unfortunately, the Galaxy s7 has an issue with both of these.
You know how the Galaxy s7 focuses pretty much instantly when recording video in 1080p, 1440p, or 4k? Well, it doesn't happen in the 60fps mode. The focus is even slower than my s6 in 60fps and there is tons of "focus hunting" where it bounces back and forth between focus as you're recording. Focus is literally perfect in any mode besides 60fps.
Then we have an issue with 240fps slow motion where there are a ton of frame skips throughout the video (just YouTube s7 slow motion videos to see what I'm talking about).
These two issues are huge for me. It's unfortunate because I love everything else about the phone. How can we make Samsung aware of these issues?
Snapdragon or Exynos?

A direct link would help, I'm not finding anything.
I confirm this too, exynos club. Slow focus in 1080 60fps

I don't seem to be having any issues...I may be one of the lucky ones. S7e verizon

Does your low-light performance take a hit on the slow motion recording? Because mine does... is this normal for slow motion recording?
Don't see this issue on sd820
Well, i can confirm the slower focus on my G935F (maybe double the time as the normal camera focus), but no skipped frames.

It probably would take a hit as you're using a slower shutter speed to achieve slow motion.

Of course it does. The shutter speed allows half as much light to reach the sensor. This cannot be altered, except to post-process the video on a computer and apply some heavy noise reduction (with the corresponding drop in sharpness).
has anyone a video from the issue? (youtube maybe)
I just noticed stuttering in my slow motion recording..
Many people are starting to tell Samsung about this issue on Twitter.
i have stuttering/jittery in my videos in all modes , they r less in de low reso's but when going higher reso's its gets it alot. the easiest way to achieve the jitter/stutter is moving left/right & up/down with the handset, if your keeping the handset still there's no problem can anyone confirm this by trying ?
The flickering from my flourescent lighting is awful on the slowmo video. This is usually corrected by software so I was very surprised to see it. I'd forgive this if there weren't so many frame drops going on as well. The slowmo video on Snapdragon devices is basically broken. Unfortunately, Samsung has not made an official statement acknowledging the issue. It will require more people to report it.

it seems like 1080p 60fps mode doesn't really make use of Dual Pixel phase detection.. it felts more like contrast detection to me.. there might be chance that Dual Pixel are not supported in 60fps mode.. keep our finger crossed.
