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?
I have SGH-I997 and this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232538
Final Build.
The problem is in Video Recording, Camera flicks a lot and then sound flicks too when I view the video recorded.
It's seems like screen is refreshing or something.
It flicks when there is normal light. In low light it doesn't.
U can see the video here:

Is there any solution to this?
did you even try searching?
There'll never be a fix for that unfortunately becoz of Samsung's custom chip and the old kernel this phone is using as no new official source code for ICS or JB has been made for this phone
All ICS+ ROMs for infuse will have this skipping. Use standard mode 480p for video recording without skips!
You can also try to tick these in Developer settings:
Disable HW overlays
Force GPU rendering for 2d
Force 4x MSAA
These changes can sometimes enable 720p hd video recording without skips ( if you have not used your phone heavily, it may work. If not then standard video recording only)
These settings also remove skips from hd video playback on your phone. But they increase battery use however

This is because the phone cannot record HD/720p videos at 25fps with normal settings.
Either use standard/480p for recording which is fine or use
the magical 3 ticks mentioned in developer settings to remove video playback flickers, but 720p recording will continue to flicker but reduced flickers or no skips at times
See your autofocus time for blurr?idk

thanx for the tip Fullmetal...however, i changed my video record quality to SD 480p and the flicker stopped but the view is still blurry...the camera only focuses perfectly on very very close objects but becomes blurrry at a slight distance from the object.....i even used the magical 3 tricks in developer settings yet it is still blurry and equally changed the focus mode from auto>macro down to face detect...yet its still blurry in all of them.....plz what can i do to make my camera sharp....thanx alot for your help:good:.....i appreciate...
Try reducing the autofocus time in settings,put JPEG photo quality to normal or fine , but not superfine!
Try cleaning your lenses or might be that your camera unit is damaged??

Google camera works on low light in such a way when I try to tap the screen it focus on the objects first together with the led/flash so I was able to focus properly on low light but on camera FV-5, Manual Camera, L Camera it doesn't. How do I enable that? I was on Xperia Z1 before and camera fv-5 works that way but now on my Nexus 5 D821 32GB it doesn't
Hope someone can help me out
Hi everyone,
So I just have noticed that using camera app on recording video mode (both front and rear camera) the view is way too zoomed in. I heard that it's something to do with video stabilisation, but I can't find a setting to turn off it. Well for rear camera is okay, the zoom is not very big, but when I open front facing camera, the zoom is way to big for proper use.
What's strange that using Instagram record mode, there is no extra zoom. So is there possible to fix this on default P20 camera app?

Hi, I have seen some people recording video clips with other phones where you can switch between front and back cameras without stopping recording, i cant find this feature on the Xperia 5 ii. Is there a way to enable this on the stock camera app ?
