Issues with camera when recording videos. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have issues with the focus when recording videos indoors even when lights are on, outside in daylight I don't have such issue. When I point it on my arm and start recording, it gets all blurry and have trouble focusing even when I'm clicking on the screen so it can focus at the specific area. When I use pro mode and manually focus then everything is alright but that can't be the solution as I'll have to adjust it all the time.
I installed "open camera" and it works great so I don't know what could be wrong with the stock app.
Thanks.

Hi I just logged in because I have the same question. It happens to me when I record in FHD 60fps. It seems to have some filter applied and the blurry effect is so annoying.

In 1080p60fps is much worse and it kinda turns yellowish too. I don't think it's a filter cause outside in daylight its perfect.

Yeah it's true, just tried Open camera as you did and it works great. I can't find any similiar issue on web. I hope it's a software problem so it can be fixed with an update.

Stock app with flash works too, hopefully more S7 users will comment and tell us if they face the same problem or not.

Anyone?

Bump

Yes i just noticed this as well

This is a known issue with 60fps recording on s7. Phone can't focus correctly while video recording in 60fps. It's there from day one so I doubt it will change in the future.

I guess we'll just have to use UHD or normal 1080p recording

Dark slow motion video recorder

Has anyone else experience this issue? Every time I go to record a slow motion video the screen gets dark. I can see the video but it's really dim and plays back really dim. This only happens indoors. When I first got the phone I just thought that must be the way it is. However, I installed a particular ROM on my girlfriends phone (HTC Amaze) and it has slow motion video baked into the ROM and it records perfect without dimming itself. Furthermore, it does it in 720p. So there must be a way to fix this in our One S phone's. Someone with enough knowledge please help.
Same thing happens on my One S running on Trickdroid 6.1.0

I noticed it right out of the box. So it has nothing to do with Trickdroid (FYI). But I know there is a way to fix this. I just don't know how to go about it...
Same here. Happened on stock Rom straight out the box. :/

That comes with taking a slo motion video. You need lots of light when taking them. This isn't a DSLR.
When you shoot in slow motion, you are taking pictures quickly. And when you take pictures quickly, light has less time to create an image in your camera. Shoot in lots of light otherwise you'll get the dark and gloomy.
I understand that our phones are no DSLR camera. However, my girlfriend's HTC Amaze can record in slow motion with no low light issues what so ever.. Obviously you didn't read my first post... And it records in 720p slow motion. Better then our One S phones. There is a fix or a camera.apk replacement somewhere. I could use her apk from her ROM but then if I did I'm sure I wouldn't have the "Continuous shoot mode" which I love.
i was using slow motion video thing on my sensation and it was greate one s have a big problem in this case also on new 4.0.4 update too

Camera quality help

The camera takes great still shots, but even the smallest amount of movement results in terrible blur. Is this normal?
I just cleared the camera data do I'm shooting on default settings.
Here's a picture of my child simply smiling and jabbering to me. Is this normal?
Id say if I take 10 pictures of her, only 1 is clear (caught betwen normal bodily twitches and stuff)
With this camera like this it'd be near impossible taking pictures of my dog unless it was sleeping. Is this your experience as well?
Are their pro settings that make it better?
Yes because no OIS ?
normal after emui 5 terrible optimization & shutter lag...emui 4.1 didn't have this shutter lag problem
our terrible sluggish processor don't even support google cam which has zero shutter lag

yeah the EMUI 5.0 sucks in this regard, at-least and strange part is, Huawei was not even aware of this unless this was reported to them in recent fan meet in India. Hope we get fix soon for this.

I hope at least they fix it now after reporting in fan meet... No word upto now is disappointing... Not even a single update in past 2 months after b340?? added to this, wapp notification lag... It made me put wapp in deep sleep using greenify & open it once in a day & sync messages when i don't/can't use phone for 10 minutes...
I knew some people from our group that uses Huawei GR5 2017 (Honor 6x) and they have observed that the quality of the front camera (in photos and videos) are a bit grainy (or maybe too bright to be true). Build number is on B370. Anyone experienced this? Or any workaround? Thanks.

Disable the beauty mode and it should be bit better. This over exposed thing has been notified to honor officials and they said they will inform their R&D to resolve this
The issue was not limited to the images taken using the front camera. It includes the video quality of the front camera - which doesn't have a Beauty mode.
They received an update just now, but it is just limited to security patches and voLTE and they've advised me that there was no fix on the camera that came with it.
Hello ever since I updated to B370, the star track mode is not working for me anymore. Everytime i try to capture, it will all became white (overexposed). It used to be good when I was in B360. What could have happen? Or what could i do to fix it?

Slow camera low light

Hi,
I just bought Mix 3 and I have a question, does anybody experienced issue with slow camera in low light as well ??? It's very slow In low light when I want to make a picture for example at 7 PM outside or in low light room. For example on video mode I don't have the issue.. I restart the data of camera app as I was looking on internet how to fix that but nothing change still it's very slow. Also I checked Gcam if it's same issue and it's also slow in low light.

Laggy videos at 1080p 30fps

I have some serious lag when shooting at 1080p 30fps. My device simply cannot make smooth videos, each of them is laggy. At least 1 frame always drops after some seconds. When I started using it 1 month ago, it wasn't the same, but now I just can't record videos with this phone. Anyone else experiencing that?
This phone has just stopped being capable of making videos - again. The situation is even worse than it was in the beginnings. The Miui 12 update brought back all the laggy stuttering, i just simply cannot shoot useful videos with the phone now, again. As it was mentioned before, it was usable in the last months - as much as i can remember, the problem was solved by the A10 update. But now, this phone is a crap when it comes to creating videos. (Both 1080p and 4k 30 fps.)
I've really had enough, f*ck xiaomi and this crap phone, they sell it as a cameraphone, and still, in 2020 this device is unable of making real motion picture. Their update policy is shocking, how can an upgrade ruin a basic function like that? It is ridicolous that xiaomi is unable to build phones that are capable of shooting smooth videos. I'm really tired of it, time to say this company ciao, and evade their phones - whatever they promise in their ads.
yes her same lag on 1080p 30fps im on miui 11.0.5 china stable
whats your Rom

My MIUI is Global 11.0.12.0 Stable
Same here.
Also opening the camera app and switching from photo to video takes toooo damn long. Like 3/5 seconds. Insane.

Am on 11.0.12.0 and 30fps is fine, no frame drop, i hope what you mean by laggy is not the stabilizing motion in effect when recording. (The counter movement by the image stabilization to prevent shake, it sometimes looks like if the video is delayed in movement)

No, it is simply laggy. Maybe I should upload a sample somewhere.
I tried to play these videos on different PC-s using different media player programs, but still, most of them are laggy. And my Mi Note 10 simply can't play its own videos without lag/framedrop, no matter which resolution/fps I record at. Is it playing its own videos smoothly for you?
(In some videos, it is just a playback error (which is not OK at all), because when I play them on my PC, they're OK. But in most of the videos, there is lag, framedrops at the same time, no matter, which program I use.)
Here are some short samples recorded at 1080p 30 fps. No matter, in which media player program/app I play them, no matter on which PC or which smartphone, there are lags (or framedrops) at the same moments of the videos. 9 out of 10 videos are like these or worse when I shoot with Xiaomi Mi Note 10 unfortunately. Is it just me, or does anyone else experience these problems?
1.: https://youtu.be/hkVcvmzvW2w
Some lag while turning around, especially in the first half of the video.
2.: https://youtu.be/EwePHqHtF4w
It can be clearly seen in the first part of the video, it's like if it stopped for some moments.
3.: https://youtu.be/N9Ceo6_8s7E
Wait until the 2nd half of the video, when it turns back, there are some major lags.
I also have the same issues
I also have the same issues in particular in 4K photography - really disappointing I bought the phone because of the camera and it was a bad choice. And most YouTube reviewers have hidden the problem because they are profiting from sales - shame !!

Exactly, same here. Now I regret buying it, I should sell it.
In 4K and 1080p 60 fps it's even worse, much much worse. These functions are simply useless.
i just hope i can replicate your issue. but i can't. recording went just fine. probably something buggy in rom,kernel,app, not sure.
I always use 60fps so it's not a problem for me but it's just the 4k which is not smooth at all but I don't have noticable stutter issues or frame drops. Hopefully we can see a stable 4K soon. This is a sample of my device.
1080/30: https://youtu.be/AIp5zEJV4mg
Forgot to mention that 4K/30fps works great on ULTRACAM!

And this is a 4k video sample by ultracam totally fine.

How about factory reset ? Or reflash ROM ?

I've done factory reset, it didn't help. I have never done Rom flash before, not sure how to, I will search for it.
FIXED
I installed the latest version of HyperCam and it fixed all my problems - - Please note the app is not in the store and need to be installed externally
Look for - mediafire.com/file/wlm7b78gjfi08fv/HyperCam_S_v1.2-rZ-End_API2-Level3.apk/file
Still?

Video is not laggy? Other bugs?
I have the same issue since i got the phone, it lags in video recording while panning whoever it feels like, i have experienced lag in 1080p 30fps and 60fps and in 4k is worse, i hope xiaomi updates this, btw using the Gcam mod from Urnyx i can record without lags but using only the main camera.

Question Video Flickering at 60fps

Anyone else notice this? I did find a small thread on Samsung.com so not sure if its a hardware issue or if all of them have it. - https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...t-flickering-on-video-recordings/td-p/2209967
Seems to only do it at 60fps options 1080p60 and 4K60.
Except its just not flash light related or LED light related. It'll do it outside as well Highly annoying!
I tested it and don't have this issue.

Its not a 100% all the time issue. Its under certain lighting specific lighting conditons. Usually lower light for me
for low light always use auto fps. it was tested to show its actually better and brighter and clearer

Last year on the 12 Pro Max Auto FPS ruined a video that couldnt be remade. It for some reason switched despite being in the bright outside, on top of that it recorded 24fps and made the clip choppy. Not saying samsung would do this but its not worth the risk keeping that enabled.
But the weird flickering has happened with it being bright outside as well

something doesn't seem to be syncing. i would say the flickering is due to hardware more than software. but yea i only switch on auto fps in low light and its been impressive. i forget where but there's a video of the s22u side by side and auto fps was much more preferable since it could slow down frames meaning it would be brighter with less artificial noise reduction
Looks like a PWM frequency issue depending on the brightness of the (flash LED).
Literally just made a thread about this. The exact same problem. Glad to see i'm not the only one, because I wasn't able to find any other person experiencing this. You can see my example videos here:
Is it normal that my camera flickers on videos when the lighting level changes ? Does it happen on you too ?
It's not happening because of the lamps above, it happens on natural lighting too. It happens when camera focuses to a new area where the lighting level is different. Is this a defect, or is it the same for everyone ? Here are 2 example videos...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hope it's not a hardware problem and they fix it with an update
I'm so happy to say that May update I just received (S908EXXU2AVDA) fixed this problem. Can you check if it's fixed for you too ? @hyelton I tried every specific condition that it flickered before and it doesn't flicker anymore, made me happy that it wasn't a hardware problem and they were aware of the issue.

I'll post here if it ever gets fixed. Yeah I'm sure it's just people don't notice it.
Example
I can hand my phone to my mom and set it to 60hz. And low power mode. She will think it's crazy fast and no lag. When it most certainly is not LOL
She does now find her old S10 slow after using a S21 FE the past few weeks.
