Hello, when i take pictures with the back camera, i can choose aspect 4:3 or 16:9 and it look fine. But when trying to record a video, only offers 16:9, 1:1 or full, but in all aspects it wayyy zoomed in , I have to put in panoramic mode to look a bit more decent but it look distorted. Is this normal?
Hi @_Elixir,
This happens when "Video Stabilization" is ON, it’s part of the feature. If you don't like it, turn it off on "camera settings" (gear icon on the top) and restart the camera app. But you'll must have a steady hand to record the video without shaking.

For some reason, i can't zoom in at all on video record, however for taking photos it works fine. I tried using the wheel to zoom in and tried to press the volume up/down button as well as tapping on the screen for options but couldn't find anything.........it seems i can only do that for taking photos.....
you should be able to zoom once BEFORE you start recording.
Tap your screen, the zoom slider will appear, zoom once then hit record.
it's digital zoom anyways... for photos, it's not good because you are just cropping the sensor, yet extrapolating to get 3mpix
for videos, not sure how it works, because the sensor ignores pixels to record only 320x240(or 336x????) - 0.08mpix out of a 3mpix sensor
i have same this problem how i can fix it i wamt use zoom with record video
there is update for camcorder or there is other software i can download it for video cam
thanks
I've been trying to get better performance out of the stock video camera and here are my observations.
Stock video camera
Pretty good at default settings but cannot seem to set focus point manually
Cannot do macro video because of this
Very smooth recording, no dropped frames
Lgcamcorder
Video looks brighter than stock camera
Can set focus point by touching a point on the screen
Problem is the focus hunting doesn't stop, it focuses nice and sharp, and then drops the focus and keeps repeating this cycle endlessly.
Jerky, seems to halt for 2 seconds every so often
Does anyone know if the stock video camera can do macro video at all? How do we get it to work?
I had problems with LGCAMERA for my past phones. Though it has many options, there were times after having recorded a video, it would just not save the file and I was very frustrated by this as I lost some important videos!
yes, it looks good, but the focus hunting just never stops! Anyone had any luck with it?
I use lgcamera and set the focus mode to macro and have no problems with focus hunting.
Any and every video camera app I tried has some sort of built in image stabilization and this makes any footage useless for me. Corner warping and distortion is very visible a lot of times.
Yes this same problem also with me, AS the time we need the images the distortion occurs and image get vanished.
Change your shot mode to auto, but I believe your pictures will no longer be as HD as they could be but should be fine just fine.
Hi guys, when i was recording 60fps video two days ago, i saw that now and then the sides of my video gets blurry (for less then a second) . Sometimes its the right side of the screen, sometimes the bottom, sometimes top..
For example:

My question is: is this normal, do you guys have the same issue? I couldn't find anything on the internet about this.
This is probably the effect of electronic image stabilization (EIS), I've seen it also on my 4K videos. Try to turn off SteadyShot and see if it helps.
When watching videos on widescreen mode, a little part of the down side of the video remains hidden...it cuts it off.
Do you know how to fix this... ?
