Hi,
I saw in Z5 Premium page that there is a new feature which allows you to take still images from 4K videos. As its just software, any possibility that every Z phone will get that feature or we need someone to extract his apk? Can be seen in official phone page in freeze the action part, can't post links.
I think our z3 can do it right out of the box? If you mean taking photos while recording 4K.
I meant there is new feature allowing you to take 8MP photo from previously recorded 4K video.
I have installed Google camera and it works well, especially taking photos with long exposure at night, really amazing
But i find it sucks when i switch to recording modeAlthough it offers 60fps, the quality of the video is really bad and not 60fps at all. You can easily tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps. And I have tried snapdragon camara, failed too, the same effect as google camera.
So, is there anyone who can enable that feature:highfive:
Thanks in advance
Open Camera.

No joking
Open Camera is an app and allows recording at 60 fps.
i wonder which gcam version did you installed? because mine cannot even record video, its crashed
i tried hdr on or off while in manual settings on the new photo app of android 9 but i see no difference, did i miss something or is it just disabled by sony on xz premium to force us to buy a new phone if we want hdr photo ? is there a hdr in video mode ? i also see no difference bewteen a 4k video on android8 and and android 9 (but there is no hdr toggle for video in android 9 so it does not seem available on xz premium ( by hdr video i mean raising the shadows and providing details in the highlights such as the sky and not the other hdr type that requires a hdr monitor)

oh i understand now, HDR for videos is not available on XZP its not a software thing, our device simply doesnt support HDR video recording.
as for photos, I dont notice a difference mostly, but I think auto includes auto HDR because also on oreo i didnt notice a difference unless its in outdoors with a lot of trees and colorful environment there could be a slight difference noticed

the snapdragon 835 can do hdr video capture( https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-835-mobile-platform ) and the camera sensor is the same on xzp and xzp2 so it is just sony disabling features in older phones to force you to buy their latest phone. UPDATE : it seems the image pipeline was redone for xz2 premium so we are out of luck with our "old" xz premium if we want hdr video.
The XZ Premium can't record HDR Videos (4K)
But we got SDR TO HDR Conversion. It's the "new" video image enchantment. Sony support confirmed it on Twitter DMs. As the name says, it works on video and it can work on a few apps that they don't mention which.

I have tried it and so can you, I can confirm, here is how I tested:
watched the video on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XTvrXLfheI&t=49s
was very very crisp and detailed but the video isnt HDR, so I gave it a shot and downloaded the video with 4k youtube downloader app on my PC and placed the video on my device, then watched it there, total different story mate!! I am so happy! I started flipping between recent's app going to youtube and back to the video app (or photo they both support it) while I was watching the same video on both, and I was shocked to see that its ALOT more colorful and dynamic in the video app than on youtube (set on 4k on youtube).
I was skeptical about it but now that I tried, I can confirm with full confidence that we have SDR to HDR!
try it your self and let me know if you notice it too

you are talking about hdr video playback, i am speaking about hdr video capture (but again not in a hdr video codec, just raising details in the shadows and the highlights by combining multiple exposures in a non hdr video codec, exactly what is done in hdr photo and like what you see here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgyR00UiWJE )
XZ Premium uses BionzX for camera , and it does not support HDR recording. On XZ2 and on camera uses Qualcomm ISP for camera processing.

thanks for the info, i don't get why is hdr video available on older phones like the z2 but not xz premium https://support.sonymobile.com/ae-en/xperiaz2/userguide/video-camera-settings/#gref
Hi everyone!
Is there any tips, hack or custom ROM which unlock 4k 60fps in third apps? At this time, only OOS cam can record at this resolution/fps but FILMIC Pro is a great app for filming like a pro but they say that oneplus lock 60fps in third apps...
Thanks ?
Hi all, I am in search of a thrid party camera app that can utilize the EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) functionality of A51. I have tried Filmic Pro, Open Camera and Manual DSLR camera app but they failed to provide the EIS functionality, (they do have the option of stabilization but whether it is On or Off, doesn't make any difference). I would be grateful to you for helping me out on this. The reason I need to do this is because the stock camera of A51 doesn't let me change the recording bitrate and framerate. Thanks.
