Hi there,
Got the Samsung S7 and from today when trying to use the camcorder recording mode it will zoom in and not having the current view when it's on normal camera mode. Can someone help how to solve this, factory reset didn't work.
VGA and 1:1 quality works without zoom in but the HD, FHD 1920*1080 and above not.
Thanks.
My camera does the same exact thing, not sure if it's just a built in feature of the phone. Anyone else experience this?

I think it's because of the aspect ratio of the sensor (4:3).
The camera has to zoom in and crop the sensor when you choose video mode with those resolutions...

How to solve because its strange from.te beginning I had no issues and since yesterday it started, same settings.. anybody an idea if it will ve solved by samsung soon?
Nothing you can do, recording at 1080p requires only 2 mpixels, the whole sensor is 12 mpixels. If you record at 4k it'll zoom in less than at 1080p.

Just turn off video stabilisation and the zooming would be gone! Suppose you know why.

That doesn't work. and this is OIS, not EIS so it shouldn't matter.
So this is due to the camera sensor size? It's very annoying. Especially when I frame my video then start to record and then I'm zoomed in

The video stabilisation in setting is EIS. OIS is built in the hardware and can not be turn on/off. It is permanently on.
And you can't magically take a 16:9 video/image on the 4:3 sensor without cropping.
If you are annoying by zoom in effect when framing the scene, you can first change the image resolution to the one with 16:9 ratio thus already cropped viewfinder before framing the video.
The sensor in S7 is not a native 16:9 sensor like in S6, it is a 4:3 sensor so in order for you to record in 16:9 resolution video, it needs to crop the image while also giving you an impression of zooming in due cropping. The reason why VGA is fine is because its resolution ratio is already in 4:3 format, just resized down to VGA resolution. All 4:3 sensors including the one being used in DSLR are also cropping the image when video recording in 16:9 format.
So if I select 16:9 ratio for stills, will this effect video quality selected at FHD?

I know this is a dead thread by now, but this doesn't really address the issue. The GS7 does more than just crop the 4:3 into 16:9, it also crops in a large amount when selecting 1080p as opposed to downsampling the 1080p image as some other cameras do. This is quite annoying, as even if all I need is 1080p I still have to select UHD to get a wide enough FOV, wasting storage space and meaning I have to downsample it later.
Realized later that the above is only true if you have video stabilization on, disregard it, I'm not sure how to delete my reply
Hey guys,
im looking for a camera app similar to Camera FV-5 and Cinema FV-5. Are there better alternatives out there to record videos with all parameters manually adjustable?
My Nexus 5x supports 120fps (google camera) but I cant seem to use it in Cinema FV-5, any other slow mo cameras out there?
Thanks
Hi
My device have 13MP rear camera, but in google camera app it shows (16:9 10MP) camera resolution only
How to manually change that resolution to 16:9 13MP?
is there any build.prop editing needed? or some system configuration modification to make appear that 16:9 13MP resolution?
Thank you
Hello. Is there any camera app that would allow to force 4:3 aspect ratio in video mode without Resolution loss ? I've got xiaomi Mi Note 2, and in 16:9 mode video seems to be zoomed in. I tried almost every camera app in store. When it's in 4:3 everything is ok but resolution is ~ HD (definitely not full HD). No application could be able to force 4:3, even when there was such an option.
Everything thanks to digital image stabilization ...
Hi all, you might know this already but I just found out and it seems like absolutely great news for this phone. The latest Open Camera update allows you to record video using every camera on the phone. Even the monochrome one works. No need to have perfect lighting conditions in order for the camera to switch between main and telephoto. You now have a dedicated camera button which lets you select what lens to use. Did you get the chance to try it out? I didn't have any issues yet.
Link please

Is the recording quality improved?
I'm not sure. You do have to option to record with maximum 80Mbps but I I find it hard to tell if that is any different from the 30Mbps standard rate. Video looks crisp and clear, colors are very good, especially if you lock the white balance.
Quality seems not as good.. Also can not use Camera API 2, for high res to get extra control in manual mode.
I'm not sure why you can't use camera2 api. For me it works and I can select iso and exposure during filming. I have a CLT L29.

whats your max resolution for recording video using Camera2 API?
For the 40mp lens and the telephoto lens, I have 3840x2160. The monochrome camera however has a resolution of 3264x1840 for video.
Sorry for necropost, but anyone tried open camera for B&W photos? Does it allow exposure bracketing? Raw or at least png for file saving? I would like to try p20 pro just for that monochrome lens...
You can save RAW with the B&W camera but for some reason the pictures appear purple.
