Slow motion speeds? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

I tried to find information about the slow motion features of the XZ Premium, but everyone is only writing about the 960fps super-slomo.
Is the phone capable of recording video in 120fps or 240fps too?

I was able to pause a youtube video which showed the camera app settings and was able to spot the 240fps mode. I assume it can shoot *regular* slow motion too.

Can you provide the link? I thought it's only 120fps and 240fps
Wished Sony has given 1080p at 120fps

Actually the video only shows settings for 120fps (at time 1:46, screenshot at http://imgur.com/rdoMNW7)
No mention of resolution for the 120fps slow motion. The 960fps is in 720p, I heard that in several videos.

From the gsmarena review the 120fps is at 720p

From the review:
The Xperia XZ Premium features 4K video recording, which supports SteadyShot video stabilization. Of course, you get the standard 1080p/30fps and high-speed 1080p/60fps options. There is also a 120fps recording in 720p, and finally, there is the headline 960fps slow motion video recording - that's recorded again in 720p.

After about 2 weeks with the Sony XZ Premium, I have to say that I'm pretty underwhelmed by the super slow-motion. The device itself is very nice, fast, good looking and I like it a lot. The regular slow motion is fine, but the quality of the super slow-motion is far below my expectations. There is very notable noise in the video, the resolution does feel like I'm watching an old tube TV and there are visible staircase artifacts on straight lines in the video. The super slow-motion itself looks good, but with this type of quality I'll stick with the regular slow-motion for now. I hope Sony improves this in future updates, but I'm not sure how much they can do because it's mostly hardware constraints I guess.

Camera replacement? Want ISO

Is there a camera replacement that lets me specify the ISO?
I read something about the Desire camera apk but can't find much more info. Anyone know anything?
Heh, what do you know! That isn't adjustable either!
I tried 3 camera apps and no luck

I haven't found any great camera aps for the Nexus S.
I use Camera 360 for it's HDR feature, but it's not ideal: it doesn't offer 16x9 option, the HDR is so-so and you have to keep the stock camera for video.
And of course, I wish someone would figure out how to get 720p video from the Nexus S.

I care a lot less about 720p video than manual ISO. Cranking the ISO can really help get much better pictures in low light. I used my Evo to take some incredible photos of Iron Maiden in concert at the Garden, but I had to shoot at ISO 800 for it. On Auto they were just too blurry.

Heh, to each their own.... But the fact is still that there isn't a great camera app which does anything truly useful that the stock camera doesn't.
BTW, how did the pics look on a big screen at ISO 800? Did you get tons of noise, or were the shots useful?
Large images, but it doesn't seem the thread is good for much else anyway

That was done with an evo? You have to have a steady hand too with low light. I certainly can't do it.
Yup. In the pit. The pics at auto ISO were just blurs.

Found new amazing function in Optimus 3D!

Found this Video review. It has a picture in picture functionality. looks really great!
Too bad the sound recording sounds like robotvoice.
The HTC EVO3D has much better audio recording. Strangely the HTC Sensation doesn't.
lol oh my god
Am I missing something or doesn't every phone with video have the ability to look at a tv and watch what is on it? Not really PIP That is just taking video of your TV. Or am I just not getting it?

True, but doesn't mean it can do better. Lets face it. LG wants us to make as much as 3D movies to watch on the screen or 3D lcd tv. So software and hardware should be as good as possible (within budget). And in my opinion audio and video could be slightly better.

Agreed but it does seem as if they are working on it? latest update seems to address problems with 1080p 2D recording and with 3-party apps pictures get better from what I've heard, meaning it's "doable" and LG has probably worked their asses of getting 3D as good as they can, getting my phone later this week but from what I hear everyone is impressed with the 3D and compared to the Evos 3D the LG stands in a class of it's own.
Curious comment as all the previews I read said the EVO kicked the Optimus 3Ds ass for photo and video quality.
Also the video shot on the preview Optimus 3D units did not suffer the poor video quality of the V10b firmware, so that wasn't a factor in those previews.
I do hope the O3D kicks the EVOs ass though, seeing as I bought the O3D. ;-)

Youtube not allowing 1080p60?

I just uploaded a quick vid to send my wife to show her the landscape work that was completed today and in the app I cannot select 720 or 1080p /60.
If I check on a computer it's all good ...
Here is a link to the video
https://youtu.be/xt0s0iemOOw
And when I go to other channels, I can see their videos in 1080p60
Any ideas?

Same Problem video working on 72060fps with S8+ on pc 1080p 60fps
Edit: youtube video working with 1440p
Gesendet von meinem SM-G955F mit Tapatalk
It seems to be limited to my own videos being limited to non HD resolutions when imported as 60fps

I am having the same issue on youtube,there is no 1080p60 option only 720p60 and somethimes 1440p.
The thing is on pc it is available in 1080p60.
I don't know if this is a youtue or samsung thing.
Anybody tried uploading a 4K video yet? I have and it never shows up on youtube in 4K on my pc. Tops out at 1080p. That is frustrating because 1080p looks like trash on my ultra wide monitor.
We won't see 4k on an S8 since it doesn't have a 4k screen. If you set your display resolution to max you should get the 1440 option

Haven't tried yet from my S8+, but I've uploaded many UHD videos from my S7e, and YouTube streams them at 2160p. But it can take hours before the higher-resolution streaming option shows up after you upload a video.
I tested 4k hdr video, and all hat only 720p/60 on my S8+. Normal 4k video had 1440p
Same problem. Only 720p when the video supports 60FPS!
I'm having the same issue. For some reason it always starts at 440p and caps at 1080p. Pretty annoyingly hilarious that I have a 4k screen but can only watch YouTube videos in iPhone resolution
If I upload a 1080p60 file I can't even get it beyond 440. If I dump a 4k non 60fps file in, I can get up to 1440 (expected as we don't have a 4k screen)

I've had a similar problem since I got my S8 (snapdragon). I see most video's still have a 1080p option, but they don't have 60fps as an option. However, all videos, even ones with the option, are playing at either 30 or less fps. Sometimes the video is even behind the audio. It's really frustrating. Especially looking at it side by side with my S7 edge that plays it just fine. Also funny that the smaller screen of the s7e plays a bigger video than the s8 because of the height and width differences.

Go to your YouTube settings and turn off "HD on Wi-Fi only". My LTE is actually quicker than my home Wi-Fi (well, my parents' Wi-Fi), so I have it off, maybe that'll fix some issues.
App updates have corrected it

Ofcourse it does!. The Hybrid Stabilisation works only till 1080 @30,, anything beyond 1080p and 30 only makes use of OIS (hardware).

No, you're wrong. On S6, there's no hybrid stabilization.
If you enable EIS (named as "Video stabilization" on Samsung's camera app), OIS will be deactivated. So, only EIS will do the stabilization.
If you disable EIS (named as "Video stabilization" on Samsung's camera app), OIS will be activated. So, only OIS will do the stabilization.

Question HDR10+ Pretty wonky?

Can't play any HDR10+ videos on my phone for some reason. It can only play HDR10+ videos recorded by the phone. When I open the "Video" app I can see a small HDR10+ icon.
However, the mediainfo says it's HDR10? And when I load any HDR10+ video it says it's HDR10 only??
The clip I downloaded was from this site.
The media info of the HDR10+ Test Video and the Video recorded from the phone. And of how it looks like in the Video app, Pic
You can see how weird it is, would love some insight
Plays good, no problem here.

I Downloaded the video from the link your provided and it played ok on S22 ultra Android 13 stock one UI 5.0, snapdragon model. Are you on stock Android? Are you using the stock video player? Did you install other video player that could be interfere with it?
Played fine for me.

I'm using stock android. I used the stock video player, MX Player, Just Video Player/Just Player, MPV and VLC. All of them have the same output. The Increase contrast has no difference with the output and the decrease brightness one decreases the brightness of the whole scene, nothing like what the demo pics showed. Also, I'm using the Vivid screen mode which unlocks DCI-P3 which would be great for HDR content, still getting nothing. I'm posting the photos of what I'm getting and what I expected to get over here.
