Hi! I'm very much interested in pro video recording camera apps so I was wondering what Camera2 API support level the Asus Zenfone 4 Max has. Can someone who has the phone install the free app "Camera2 probe" and post a screen shot of the test results here? Main thing is the "hardware level support category", hoping for either "Full" or "Level 3" but my guess would be "Limited" ...
Cheers!

Hello
I am a mobile software developer and I would like to enable Full HD @ 60FPS recording in my app. I am currently using old camera APIs (however I have already tried some basic steps with camera2 APIs). I have searched forums, tried hacks, used camera2 APIs, manual CamcorderProfiles settings with no success. I have also installed some 3rd party apps from Play Store and none of them was able to record anything above 30 FPS.
Does anyone know if it is possible to record Full HD @ 60 FPS video using ANY third-party app using Samsung Galaxy S7? If so, please point any Android APIs or 3rd party app, that successfully records 60 FPS.
Many thanks for any help

Im pretty sure that Samsung locked that up for their own camer app only. Tried Filmic Pro, tried Open Camera - none of them work. This is why I will move away from Samsung.

Seems that I have confirmed my expectations - FullHD @ 60 FPS is indeed blocked on Samsung Galaxy S7 and probably also on Galaxy S8. I have checked it on Oreo on Galaxy S7.
A set of camera2 APIs designed to return supported framerates for given recording formats always returned 30 FPS for FullHD resolution.
The only one way to get higher framerate is to use CameraConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession APIs. The result is just 1280x720 @ 120 or 240 FPS. Only that and nothing more or less.
Kind of unfair play from Samsung I guess.
Is it possible to unlock FHD @ 60 FPS for 3rd party apps without rooting the device?
You definitely need to root device to do that. And yes it's possible I already have it

Could you tell us more about this? I want my s7 to have a wider range of capabilities when I use filmic pro.

Don't really like reviving an old thread but, would you mind sharing with the community HOW you got that to work?

As some of you might know, the amazing open source camera app known as Open Camera has issues taking advantage of the Mi 5s's camera2 API capabilities. This is because of a few lines in the app source code that disable all camera2 API functionalities if not all the cameras on the device support it. This is the case with the Mi 5s. The back camera has Level 2(Full) API capabilities but the front camera only has Level_0(Legacy) capabilities.
As a result, the app decides that the entire phone should not be able to use the camera2 API in order to improve stability but unfortunately, this means that users like us are not able to take advantage of one of the best camera apps on the market. This is why I went through the source code and changed a few lines of code in order to bring the Open Camera app to all devices that might be able to use it. Just be careful in using the front camera with camera2 API features as it will likely cause your app or your system to crash and restart.
I'll try to keep this "unlocked" version updated at least once a month.
For those interested, here are the few lines of code I changed:
Code:
if (deviceLevel == CameraCharacteristics.INFO_SUPPORTED_HARDWARE_LEVEL_LEGACY) {
return requiredLevel == deviceLevel;
}
// deviceLevel is not LEGACY, can use numerical sort
return requiredLevel <= deviceLevel;
to
Code:
return true;
in .\opencamera-code\app\src\main\java\net\sourceforge\opencamera\CameraControler\CameraControlerManager2 function isHardwareLevelSupported
and
Code:
this.supports_video_stabilization = camera_features.is_video_stabilization_supported;
to
Code:
this.supports_video_stabilization = true;
in .\opencamera-code\app\src\main\java\net\sourceforge\opencamera\Preview\Preview
Open camera is released under GPL v3 or later. All the original code can be found from the official project website linked above. No changes aside from the one mentioned were made.
Thank you. I have tried it on MIUI 9 (latest Xiaomi.eu stable) and I see the option for turning on camera 2 api, but after I do that I have no options for video stabilisation. Do I have to enable anything else? Does video stabilisation work for you in 1080p and even 4k?
I didn't even realise that the feature was still disabled, thanks for letting me know. I'll release an updated build later tonight.
Thank you dev for this mod. This is exactly what I'm looking for. High FR on normal speed recording.
Any update about video stabilization? I can enable camera 2 and stabilization, but EIS is not working. Is there any way to have EIS like on Redmi Note 5 pro, 6x, Mi max 3 in open camera? They have eis using gyro and video recording is smooth as on pixel phones.
Why everyone need camera 2 API. Miui camera is best, I test on miui 9 Google camera and it is the same. Only advantage of camera api it is possibility to write RAW file, but only some people want it
No, Gcam produces better dynamic range, better color production, less noise. In daylight difference not that big but especially in low light gcam is far better. Only bad thing on gcam you have to wait too long for shoot a photo. Also stock camera on selfies is literally garbage, doesn't use all capabilities of the sensor.
No, Google Camera is absolutely better, especially on the night photos :highfive:
I not tested front camera on camera 2 API.
Back camera is near the same imo
Gcam generally produces better images, the result is worth the added processing time. Portrait selfie is a lot damn sharper and that one is nowhere MIUI camera can touch.
Guys, join the petition on the official MIUI forum. Here's the link, we want our Camera2 API back on our Mi Note 3!!
http://en.miui.com/thread-3737375-1-1.html
Done
Config about Camera from Miui 10 has difference from Miui 9 which Mi 10 has not Level 3 but Mi 9 has config Level 3
you can install app name : camera2 Probe and droid hardware info from play store to check your config
So we are staying with miui 9 until xiaomi unlocks this?

Why Google ? Tottally unusable videomode, tons of dropframes and lags. Maybe you need fix libcam drivers for imx363 chip on Android 10 ?
Btw. On PIE 9.0 1080p autofps mode looks good:good: im using latest stock Google Camera ver 6.3.26
October update DONT fixed that problem Hey google whats wrong ? Flagship phone cant record normally video 1080p ....
VIDEO nr 2
Has anyone noticed a similar problem with your pixel 3 ? I have this problem with Gcam 6.3.20, 6.3.26, 7.1.15 on Android 10.

Nope everything is recording fine here, smooth like water!
frame loss and lag only appears when the camera wants to return from 60fps to 30fps. if the conditions are poor and the camera does not reach 60 FPS then there are no lags and the video is as smooth as water, yes. even my wife noticed that this is losing frames and that's something on PX camera 1.1 60fps works great for me, autofps tragedy I can't look at it
I returned to Android 9 PIE and finally the problem was solved. Autofps works great. Google has to do something about it, Pixel 4 has in addition to 3 modes of autofps / 30fps / 60fps, maybe Google will graciously do the same with Pixel 3. At the moment Android 10 for video recording in autofps mode is broken. Perhaps it is the fault of the underdeveloped drivers or bad clocks that manage the cpu speed.
Hi everyone,
I'm interested in this phone, but sadly there is no available store in my country that I can test the device, online purchase only.
I've read that GCam support is broken because of Sony hardware/software settings.
So, Is FiLMiC supported? It's mostly Camera APIs and not processing much as GCam. Anyone can test with FiLMiC Pro Evaluator on the Playstore and give me a screenshot, please? I know There is Cinema Pro on Xperia but FiLMiC Pro has some solid settings like high bitrate and gimbal connect.
Thanks a lot

Great! Thank you.
I see the support for all lens are good. Can you verify that on the "Wide" tab, there is [email protected] option?

Much appreciate
Nice to see Sony did not mess with general Camera API.
This app does not fully reflect the performance.
On my x5ii, Android 10, Filmic pro 6.13.3
1080p 8bit HEVC/AVC just fine
res above 1080p 8bit HEVC/AVC jumped frame
res above 1080p 10bit HDR HEVC just fine
The developers promised to fix this issue in the next release.
Thank you for sending in that information! I submitted your information to our developers and just heard back from them. In order to fix the problem you were experiencing we are going to have to use a limited mode for resolutions above 1080p—this change will be made in an upcoming update to FiLMiC Pro. In case you're not aware, there are multiple image buffer options available within the Android camera framework and each of them gives access to different features but has different drawbacks. We use the advanced image buffer in order to provide the advanced features that we do, but if the advanced image buffer won't allow us to provide a stable frame rate—as you've experienced here—then we switch to using the limited buffer type instead.
This limited mode uses a different version of the video recorder, which limits what features we're able to use at those frame rate/resolution configurations.
'Limited mode' restrictions are as follows:
Aspect Ratios: ‘Crop Source to Overlay’ unavailable
Zoom: Smooth adjustment unavailable
Cinematographer Kit: Limited availability on some devices
Anamorphic Desqueeze Unavailable
So once the update is available that changes 2k+ resolution to limited mode, those functions will no longer be available at high frame rates. This is a hard decision to make as it does remove feature support, but it will enable us to provide stable high frame rates instead.
I hope that clears up what will be happening, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out!
