which camera app to record video in full manual mode? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods

i have the s7 from AT&T, model SM-G930A. it is running android 7.0
using the default camera app, how to record a "flat" profile and set the aperture??? i was able to set ISO and shutter speed only.
i also tried "Open Camera" and "Camera MX" app. Open Cam gave me full control but whenever I record videos, the mp4 files could not be opened by VLC or windows media player. weird

There is no such thing as variable aperture in S7. I would suggest to try Cinema 4K, it has flat profile, ISO, shutter and manual focus with custom bitrate up to 100mbps. But to be honest, built-in camera is alright. You can make your color profile, lower contrast, highlights and shadows and you have flat profile

i actually bought Cinema 4K. during recording video, i can see the picture stuttering. when i tried to play back the video, it's just stuck on the first frame, there's no motion at all.
sadly, it was too late to get my money back when i found out cinema 4k does not work properly on the samsung s7

I'm looking for same solution

Try filmic pro

Camera Flat Profile

It is possibile to set camera flat profile using third party apps like Filmic Pro or Camera FV-5? I know I can set it with Samsung Camera app but only for 1080p 30fps. I want to set flat profile for 60fps or 4K, is there a way to do it?
I have the same problem. I found that Cinema 4k has flat profile in 4k but I can not get it to work on my s7, created files are corrupted...
I hope guys from Filmic Pro will add this option in the future. I have DJI Osmo Mobile, they have already implemented support for this gimbal on iOS and soon it will be supported on Android too.

Mi A1 recording at 100mbps at 4k + cinelog and flat Record with Filmic pro

Hello guys,
It's my first post here at XDa. Recently I bought a brand new Mi A1 64GB and really loved the dual camera possibilities. And I have started to love even more when I made it able to use Google Camera and it's HDR+ capabilities. The difference. Is. HUGE. A lot more of details and it becomes a SERIOUS alternative to pricier phones and even the selfies at dim light are great, totally different from the blurry and with a huge lack of sharpness and detail of the original Mi Camera.
That was a thing. But I needed something better in order to have more manual controls since Gcam app lacks manual controls in video and the video quality is not exactly good even though it's possible to use h265 codec that promises more detail and less noise with the same bitrate.
I have tried cameringo, cinema fv-5, the regular mi app, Gcam and filmic pro apk.
Filmic pro is, by a lot far, the best option we have for recording com. Even though the EIS doesn't work in the app (and works on Gcam app, but I didn't really liked it, just prefer to stabilize later on Google photos app), it's possible to manage hue, saturation, bitrate, framerate, it's possible to use cinelog profile in order to retain a lot more detail on recording, as well as the bitrate goes higher. In every other app tested, the video bitrate can't go higher than 42mbps and audio can't go higher than 96kbps. With Filmic pro, I was able shoot 100mbps film with 256kbps audio and choose which microphone I wanted to use. The video quality was noticeably higher, as well as the audio was a lot sharper.
I'm using camera2api, recommend you guys trying it out.
what version are you using?
It says it's not compatible with my device.

does video capturing support HDR??

I was just browsing through GSM arena and found the XZP so I decided to give it a glance and I saw under video it states that there is HDR support.
I cant seem to find how to enable that option in my camera video settings I dont know what does GSM arena mean by HDR under video features...
does any one care to share a possible explanation?
thanks

that info is totally wrong, you can only enable HDR in photo mode
The video recording is HDR, but not 10bit HDR as the XZ2
There is 2 types of HDR:
The "old" HDR, wich was made to record video in backlight conditions, being able to record with diferent exposition values avoiding white sky and dark subjects, the same as you know as HDR in photos, so the video is recorded in traditional 8bit colour range but with backlight correction
The "new" HDR, wich in addition to the old HDR also brings the 10bit recording, wich is able to improve colour and the brightness values without "burning" the image (when you take a picture and the sky looks white because it was too bright)
The old HDR was introduced by the Xperia Z, years ago, since then most smartphones record HDR video (actually HDR video was introduced before HDR photos in smartphones due for HDR photos you need multiple photos, and video is multiple images so it can make HDR easier)
You can check the HDR video was introduced with Xperia Z here:
So all Xperias since then record HDR video, when you see the Backlight icon when recording you know the phone is recording in backlight situation and uses HDR to improve the image, but its not the HDR10 or 10bit of the Xperia XZ2
If you want to know if the Xperia XZ premium could record in 10bit the answer is probably since the XZ2 uses de same camera sensor, but since is the XZ2 reason to exist, I dont think Sony will bring to XZ Premium, but who knows, actually they bring the 3D mode from XZ1 so...
On my Xperia Z2 I am able to capture video recordings at 4K HDR. Something that the XZ2 can do but not our beloved XZ Premium. They have ideas to make the mod for our device and detail the real capabilities of the camera. Just not sure when that will happen but it sounds like a possibility. Because of this mod I feel at times my Z2 takes better photos and videos than my XZ Premium.

When recording in 1080/30 with automatic mode sometimes it shows a "backlight" icon or "Backlight portrait", then is using HDR to correct the backlight over the subject

why cant we record HDR videos?

hi, if a camera is capable of taking HDR photos, why cant it record HDR videos?
is it a software thing or hardware? can any one care to provide an answer?
thanks
the phone actually takes HDR video, but there is two tipes of HDR
Almost every phone can take hdr videos since it ws introduced by the first Xperia Z, even before HDR photos, since HDR photos needs to combine 2 or more pictures, and video is actually a combination of pictures, so HDR video was in smartphones before HDR photos
at that time, HDR was only about exposure values, in photoa still the same, in Xperia XZ Premium you can know when its using HDR video when the auto mode changes to "backgroung light" or something like that, wich means the phone is underexposing the background and overexposing the subject to avoid burned areas in background or dark subject, same as in HDR photos
But in video HDR means two things: more than one exposure value, the same as in photos, or 10 (or more) bit image
videos are usually taken at 8bit colour depth
the HDR10 videos, wich is the HDR you see in Xperia XZ2, captures video at 10bit colour depth, wich means a bit more colour and light range
So it has nothing to do the ability to capture HDR photos with HDR10 video, and the phone can take HDR video but not 10bit HDR video
Also there is no other phone wich can capture 10bit HDR video than Xperia XZ2 series, and almost every phone can capture standar HDR photos and video
Yes, no other phone that can do 4k hdr 10 bit, only sony ???
In fact, my phone can do either 4k 60fps, either 4k hdr 10:good:
Also, before I switched to another phone, I have compared it against xz2 premium and xz3 in photo quality and the results were: sony is garbage!
Didn't want to write this, as some moderator closed my thread "it s time for me to move on", but... but.. Stop this nonsense as sony is the only one...?

P. S. These days I will upload some photos for comparison against xz premium... The results are night and day...

Yeah, it takes HDR video but the "old basic" HDR which takes different exposure values, not the 10bit HDR wich takes wide colour gamut

You can record in 4kHDR, but can you view it in the phone itself in 4kHDR?

Open Camera now allows P20 PRO to record video using all lenses

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
Here it is:

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.
