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
Hell all,
I'm looking for an android (preferably tablet) app that can be used to combine bracketed photos from a DSLR camera into and HDR image. Something similar to Photomatrix Pro or Lightroom. I don't always have my computer available so was hoping I might be able to find something for my Galaxy Tab S2 that will do the HDR creation for me. Does anyone know of anything?
Thanks!
Just picked up an S7 duos as an upgrade to my much loved Z2 (still in contention if its a worthy upgrade).
Primary reason is the camera, however, firstly, the auto jpeg's are really not as good as I was expecting (very over saturated, weird contrast effect), so naturally I checked out pro mode and raw. I can get better images out of it and initially the first few raw images I captured I was impressed with. However since then, raw images are now captured at 504x376 resolution??? yet 20+MB in size. I've copied to my PC and indeed that is the resolution. The associated JPEG is expected resolution.
Is there a solution? I've googled with no luck
edit: second issue is the camera "restarts" 2-5 times when i first fire it up.
I'd clear the data/cache of the camera app
24mb~ is the correct size for RAW, but they should be the resolution you have set in the camera resolution settings
You haven't installed an updates to the camera app via APK?
If yes, uninstall them back to the factory version

Hi, thanks for the reply
I've tired clearing the cache, then straight to pro mode, switch on raw, take a pic... the jpeg is as expected, the raw file is low res
The phone came reset but with 7.0 on. Perhaps I should try to roll it back to 6

Did you clear Data of the camera app along with cache?
7.0 shouldn't be a problem, you could try factory resetting the phone again though if you can't cure it any other way
I'm having the same issues with the camera running on 7.0. Raw images saves at 20mb but it looks like a blocky mess when viewed in the gallery. The jpeg in auto mode also comes out overly compressed with a a lot of artifacting. Shooting in pro mode helps a bit, but still looks comparably worse next to another S7 in my possession.

You can't view RAW in the gallery, only a low rez thumbnail, copy them to the PC and use Lightroom or something to view them
YES I have the same issue! The RAW images are normal if I upload them to my PC, but editing them on the phone they're super low-res. Even if I try to open the RAW files in Photoshop Express, the low-res thumbails open. Huge issue for me since I do a lot of photography. Have you found a fix?

Ah, I see. I installed Snapseed and the raw images came out fine. I never realized the stock gallery didn't support raw preview because I used to open them in the Google Photo app on my Note 5.
I still have issues with noisy and compressed photos shot on auto mode. I remembered it being much better on Marshmallow. The Note 5 next to me has the same problem after the update to Nougat.

Not having any problems with Auto mode, obviously Pro mode is superior but Auto comes out nice too
I remembered MM having amazing photos and flashed back to test, but they came out the same as Nougat so upgraded again
Try flashing back, see if there really is a difference, memory is a funny thing, also I got my phone in August so it was still pretty bright and sunny when I had MM on it, so photos did come out looking great as it loves good lighting conditions
Then since Nougat came along it's been winter, so bad light conditions, summer is on it's way again which will be a good test this year
So I love my pixel 2 and its google photos integration, I also like how when you take a burst/portrait photo it saves the original under the same photo (you open the photo and the 2 photos are at the bottom.) Now I have been for the longest of time just taking my photos in a 16:9 but with such a good camera I want all the pixels I can, so I switched to 4:3 but I HATE 4:3 so damn much, so my question, how do I save the original 4:3 photo but have a 16:9 photo taken by default too, cropped properly and selected as the `default`?
If you hate 4:3, just change the default to 16:9 in the camera settings? Sorry, I don't think the official google camera app supports dual formats. However, you could probably automate it with something like Tasker. If (new photo detected), send to (photo resizer), for example.

I never thought of tasker, Ill look into this soon, I hate 16:9 but throwing away data seems stupid and poor practice.
Update, I have tasker doing it automatically but since I take landscape and portrait photos this doesnt really work, someone mentioned that I can just offload this work to my pc, which I will do. Will edit this post with tasker info soon
Just wanna ask if anyone here remembers back when phone screens all used the 4:3 aspect ratio? I hate the new 18:9 - it's just too wide for most content viewing.

Dont you always crop the pictures anyway
With 4:3 you have more image vertical, horizontal is the same, so you have more to crop from :good:
Hi since yesterday i know a problem with my A127f , if i use other apps to get pictures from cam, i'ts not posible to select the 48 MP sensor.
In detail i use DocSan - an application which helps to scan books etc. because of the Size of the book high resolution is necessary. If the pictures from cam is taken only 2 cams are for example selectable in openCam. So the question for me is how to get high resolution Pictures outside the original cam app.
Also i ask me if a alternative firmware would help, at this time my Handy has the newest origin samsung firmware.
It would really interesting if someone has experience how to get access to 48MP Cam, or if someone know that it is not possible.
Best regards, Frank
