S6 have a video on-the-fly brightness controls similar to Note 5? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well dear friends, i was willing to buy a Note 5 because a lot of features, but one in specific that i like it is when recording a video in Note 5, then in the screen appears a little light bulb to control the brighteness during the video record.
So today i found a real good price deal in S6 and i bought it (over the internet). Then later i went to a Samsung store and played with S6 thinking about the same camera sensor and all, and i didn't saw that light bulb option while recording video, and i really don't like dark videos (i have a S5 and some of then is like crap).
So, did the S6 have this option in any way? Maybe with a different third part app or in a new update?

Note 3 Vs G2 1080p showdown

Here is a video of the Note 3 Vs the G2. Looks like the note 3's auto focus is better and the ois of the g2 helps a little. But not that much... Color is better on the note 3 too i think?
I'm looking through the 20 or so videos I took out doors with my Verizon G2 at the zoo and other places and the image isn't as bad as your representation. Maybe you are on the wrong setting or your phone has issues? Other video comparisons are out there also and I have yet to see your results duplicated.
Comparing videos I shot today with my Note 3 I would say they are both good but the G2 is better because of the reduction in noise during movement.

Galaxy S6 missing video viewing and editing features found previous Galaxy devices

Hey everyone, just wanted to run this by you guys to get an opinion and possibly some insight as to a few features that seem to be missing on the S6.
First off I have owned every Galaxy S device, from the old Vibrant to my current S6, also had a Note 3 and the beast phone Note 4 which my S6 replaced.
I received my S6 on April 2nd and have messed with it a lot to try and learn the ins and outs of it.
Now to the issue at hand, I do quite a lot of picture and video taking, the first thing I noticed is there is no "capture" feature in the video viewer settings which allow me to go frame by frame and snap a photo within the video, its an awesome feature and is very useful when wanting to capture a perfect shot you couldnt really capture with the camera shutter.
Second thing I just stumbled upon a few minutes ago, I took a 0:54 video in 4K but wanted to trim just the first and last few seconds . The trim editing tool took entirely waayyy too long (abour 3 minutes) after pressing export and not only that but it did not allow me to retain the 4K resolution, highest I could choose was 1080p.
I still have my Note 4 and tested it out just to see if maybe I was just overreacting.
Turns out the Note 4 will trim the exact same video and retain 4K resolution in no joke, 7 seconds. Any idea why?
Am I missing something here? Also anyone find the "capture" feature when viewing a video?
Can the Note4 video trimmer be ported into the S6? Perhaps it will be fixed as the device is technically not even out yet so I may be a first to notice.

I've noticed the same problem. I have my Note 4 side by side. The screen capture option is missing. Disaster. One of the best features of using 4K video is to grab 8mp photos!!! No editing either. Why Samsung!!
My solution is to take a screen shot. Not as easy as the Note 4. Seems to be around 3.5 to 5mb in file size vs normal screen shots of 203kb.

Flickering videos

Hi guys,
I have noticing that my videos flicker a lot.
Sometimes when I shoot indoors my screen and videos look like when a video camera is filming a monitor with different refresh rates. I tested with my other devices (2 Samsung tablets, 1 Pipo P9 tablet, 1 Lenovo Smartphone and a Xiaomi Mi4i Smartphone) and ony the galaxy S7 flickers.
Today I went to the park with the kids and the exterior videos are floickering as well but only when I play them on my Philips LCD.
Is correct to assume that my phone camera has issues and I should contact Samsung?
Thanks

Question about viewing video

I am thinking about picking up an unlocked AT&T S8+. I know that the phone isn't as wide as an s6 edge plus but it is a little longer. Does the long skinny screen distort or stretch out movies? Are games stretched?
By default, videos will play with the expected aspect ratio with black bars to fill in the space. Both YouTube and the Samsung video app have an additional full screen button that forces the video to fill the entire panel. I have never noticed any distortion of the video in this mode.
Thanks for the info. I saw one on display and I was a little surprised at how much better the display was than the on on my s6 edge+
I came from the S6 edge plus as well, and that was an impressive display. Look up "4k video" in the YouTube app and make sure that the resolution is at 1440 when a video starts playing. Do the original full screen, and then look for the expanded full-screen button. It is mind-blowingly beautiful.
Oh, and the S8 plus is only about 1mm bigger in either direction. The phone fits perfectly in the holster case that I had for the s6 edge plus.

Question Demo lock screen video

Hi guys, I have a s22u and the other day I happened to be in a phone store where I saw a showcase/demo s22u that they sell, and it had a samsung demo lock screen video on it that was absolutely stunning. Especially when compared to any screen saver videos I downloaded so far.
However, when I tried to google for it, I couldn't find anything.
Does anyone know how to get this samsung s22u commercial video? I thought it would be fairly easy to google for it, however I couldn't find anything.
It's a video that has some nice graphics with text "samsung and s22 ultra" coming on and off the video.
Thanks
