Recording video from two cameras at the same time - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi, I recently discovered that S7 can record video using both cameras at the same time, but there is one problem for me - how to export these video files so video from front camera is on top video from rear camera?
S7 can play this recorded movie this way, but it seems that movie can't be saved.

It might be in the future but one can't record with 2 cameras at the same time.

actually you can - choose Mode in left or right bottom corner in camera app, then go to Download and at the botom you will see Dual Camera addon, then this will happen:

Which model S7 do you have? Was Dual Camera available when you first got the phone or did you have to download from Galaxy Apps?

You have to download it from the Samsung app store. It was already downloaded on my dad's Note 3 but on my S7 I had to download it manually.

Does the phone not record both videos into one video file? I thought it was considered one video and not like the slo-mo, where you had to export it to keep the slo-mo.

Does anyone know you can share a dual camera video on social media? As I can only find a way to post the individual videos but not together in one video.

So no one ever figured this out?

Instagram Picture/ Video Poor Rear Camera Quality

Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance

New Nokia Camera update for N7+

So, I just got an update for the Nokia Camera app through Google Play. It was a whooping 250MB!! So far I noticed it includes:
- All shooting modes (photo, pro photo, video, bokeh, slow and fast camera...) moved to a slide carousel in the bottom
- Front/back camera switch moved to bottom left (thank god!)
- Added a shortcut to google lens
- Option to take "movement" photos (like a short gif)
- Added a button with Snapchat-like masks
- Auto HDR is now inside the burger menu on the top left
So... I'm opening this thread so you can discuss!
Still don't get update. It is possible to backup camera app and post it here?
edit:
Ok, I found it. I must manualy search for Nokia Camera and then update app. Don't have it with others app that need update on my device.
Apparently the filters and masks sections updated itself over the internet and where I had just 3 masks, there's now also an animoji-like Chinese lion and several light sources filters
Cant find the app when I search in Playstore. Any links?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hmdglobal.camera2
I wonder how the image quality differs from the Google Pixel Camera port.
Probably a really dump question, but can't find the control for manual HDR anymore...

They removed the manual hdr. There's a auto hdr in the settings.

May I know if there is a way to manually set HDR permanently on?
After the update, the Google assistant commands work. Saying "take a selfie" the camera opens automatically with a 3-second countdown
Still forces EIS on 1080p (and lower) recording...
I wish they put an option to disable it.
They should also add 60fps recording for video in 1080 as the processor supports it
I kinda like the new options.
Is ridiculus to not have manual controls on the hdr, is like absurd, like a bad joke....
Front cam at low light is so washed out. It's like saturation set to -100. Wow, just wow.

Se haven't lib for 1080/60...we cani only Hope that nokia release an unpdated camera lib
My stock camera app is different than Nokia Camera app. And for the Nokia Camera app Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your device"
Same here TA-1055 in UK. I have to admit that my Oreo is a restore from Pie Beta.
Well, just got a notification - update for stock camera app (Nokia Camera) and it is whole 247 MB Probably HMD had messed up with this app few weeks ago, then pulled it out of the store and now put it on hopefully a corrected version?
Every time I click a picture it gets in to a never ending processing photos loop and never saves the pictures properly. Even after rebooting the phone it gets back to the same loop.

Can any phones record 2 video tracks from front and rear cameras simultaneously?

I am aware that a number of phones can record video from front and rear cameras simultaneously and produce a split screened video. This webpage summarises such feature:
https://smartfilming.blog/2018/04/1...t-and-rear-cameras-simultaneously-on-android/
But I am looking for a phone that can create 2 separate video files for the front and rear cameras during simultaneous recording. I don't want a video file with a split screen view. I just want 2 clean / separate video files form the front and rear cameras. Do any phones offer such a feature?

I would guess that if you installed 2 additional third-party video recording apps on a Galaxy S9+, split the screen and ran both apps*at the same time, one to record using the front camera and the other app to record using the rear camera, it might work.

I thought about doing that. Can anyone confirm if it works on the newer phones and what the highest resolution is that it will support? I guess anything more than 1080p from 2 cameras would be too much for the phones hardware?
Also what I would really like is a way to launch such recording instantly with a 1 button press, or even remotely from something like a smartwatch. Is something like this possible?
I think that there is an app that can do this job

4K HDR Video Without Root! Exynos only

This mod is possibly only for the S7 Exynos. I don't have access to a Snapdragon S7, but the camera profile I worked form states that it only works on the Exynos version...
Hey hey S7 Users! Ever since getting my hands on an S7 Edge last year I’ve drooled over the Zero Camera Mod 4K HDR capability. I used to root my handsets the second I received them, but honestly, these days I can’t be bothered.
Anywho, long story short, I was recently hunting for S7 Mods and stumbled upon the Snap Camera 4K 60fps mod. It works brilliantly, btw! While messing around with the profile settings within Snap Camera I found I was able to enable HDR video recording at 4K 30fps!!!
I’ve included a link to a quick comparison video I made comparing 4K video shot using the stock Samsung camera app and 4K HDR video shot using the “Snap Camera HDR” app from the PlayStore with a custom profile.
I’ve also included links to the original video I found explaining the Snap Camera 4K 60fps mod, and a link to my custom profile, which is based on the 60fps mod profile.
To load the profile just download the “snap_settings.bin” and place it in the root of your storage. Load up Snap Camera and head to the “Other” menu in settings. Select “Load Settings” and enjoy 4K HDR!

Can you upload the file again? The link has expired again, or at least send it to me some how, i couldn't get the file anywhere.
any chance you could re upload the settings file? the link is dead.
