Pro video mode not changing lenses - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Hi I'm wondering if this is a bug or a feature. In pro video mode it seems I only have access to the standard lens. When I do a 5x zoom it is not switching over to the longer lens. In regular mode it does but I would like to shoot at 24 fps and can only use this frame rate in pro mode. Is there a trick to get it to use the longer lens in pro mode?

Is it possible to add super night camera mode from Huawei to Galaxy s7?

I love this mode from my Huawei ascend mate 7, i could take pictures of the stars.
With the new and approved Galaxy S7 camera, i would like this mode added.
With a mod or other method.
I watched a video and it seems like that super night mode means that the shutter is kept open for 30 seconds. The S7 camera app as well as fv-5 are only capable of keeping it open for 10 second. But I have no clue if there is a way to keep the shutter open for longer.

Portrait bokeh adjustment

I just bought this phone for my wife. Is there a way to adjust the blur on portrait mode? My Honor 8 has that ability.
As of right now the OnePlus 6 doesn't have portrait mode for the selfie camera. OnePlus said that they're going to add that in a later update.
I'm not talking about the selfie camera
i guess to clarify, by adjust blur, I mean to increase or decrease the amount of blur.

Nokia 6.2 Pro Mode Camera issue

Nokia 6.2 - TA 1198
Camera
96.9.0380.01
Issues:
- Pro Mode not focusing when not set in Auto which doesn't make the image sharp. Too much grain on pictures. This is very bad for night shooting. (Night mode is not that good for shooting low light and cannot make the image sharp than Pro Mode)
- Front Camera doesn't focus which is important on selfies. (Unlike Nokia 6/TA-1021 model) Blur is very visible when taking selfie near the Camera.
Please enlighten me that this is just a bug on it's camera.
Everything is working fine on camera except Pro Mode.

Can you zoom during video recording?

I'm gonna purchase this phone but need to know if you can zoom during video recording?
At basic 4K30 setting does it switch cameras/lenses when you use the zoom slider?
Short answer is: nope.
At 4K30, with the standard camera app, you can select one of three lenses: ultra wide (0.5x), standard (1x) or the zoom lens (5x). With each your then have the option to digitally zoom in during filming, with the ultra wide then ranging from 0.5 to 2x, with the standard going from 1x to 6x and with the zoom lens you start at 5x and can zoom in to 15x zoom max. A slider will be on screen to help you with that. It's all digital zoom, so don't expect picture quality to remain the same.

This is bummer... Is it down to Xiaomi or it's the first phone with multiple cameras that can't switch on the fly during video recording ?!
OK that person is wrong. I zoom while recording all the time... I usually either use 720p to minimize file size or 4k60 for max quality. Maybe he's using the wrong mode.
My personal experience is exactly what Appelsap described. No way for me to switch cameras on the fly while recording video.
What about other apps like FIlmic PRO - do you have access to the other cameras?
In Filmic Pro I could only find the switch from back to front. Is there another way to access the other cameras?
So you can zoom, but only digitally using the same lens. You can't switch lenses to zoom even more during filming. I tested the 4K30 as was asked, didn't try other formats (720p/HD/8K) but expect the same result even then. Main issue would be that switching lenses would be noticable in the resulting film. The lenses are in a slightly different position on the phone - they have to be next to each other rather than on top of each other , so whilst zooming in or out you'd see the camera shift suddenly to a slightly different position. I doubt other multi-lens phones can switch camera's during filming, you'd notice it then too - but do correct me when I'm wrong and tell me how the software then solves the suddenly shifted perspective (or not).
Every other multicamera phone (as far as I know) is using different cameras (lenses) while video recording. My most current phone is Find X2 Pro and it is using all of the cameras, however they are not enabled in Filmic Pro, in comparison OnePlus 8 PRO is enabled and all cameras can be used in Filmic Pro but this is different topic.
So basically this is first high end camera centric phone that is unusable in video recording, what a shame... I will cancel my purchase then.....
My Find X2 Pro is the best package overall but I'm missing the 2x telephoto camera as there is quite a gap between the 25mm main camera and 130mm 5x periscope one.

It's not only the perspective. Different cameras have different aperture, meaning different exposure. So if you pay attention, you will notice that - it gets darker when the phone switches to 5x camera. Don't know what cameras and aperture have the other phones but I'm extremely interested in an example video zooming from UW all the way to periscope and producing usable picture quality in 4k.
Just wanted to let you know that on latest EU weekly, the switches cameras on fly during video recording 1800p.
I also confirm that the video produced is not the best quality as expected - changing the camera changes the exposure and focus too.
For 4k it doesn't switch cameras.

Just tried it, and you are so right. At 1080p it does switch lenses during zooming (in/out), which is very noticable in the result, so why you'd want that is beyond me really. But it is possible. I'd like to see another phone do this without changes to exposure and focus, that seems very unlikely to me.

P40 pro telephoto lens problem

Hi
While making a video of close objects Whenever the system shifts to zoom lens the saturation increases and colors become over saturated.
I make videos of gems and stones. and for that purpose i bought this camera.
Especially the blue stones become too blue when i zoom in and zoom lens turns on.
Is there a way where we can select individual lens manually so that the zoom lens doesn't turn on unless I want it.
Try with turned of AI. If nothing changes after that I don't know what can you do.
When the device switching between camera modules maybe is normal to have problems with saturation. All three camera modules have different apertures and they receive a different amount of light.
The only solution that I found is by using the pro mode and setting the white balance manually when the zoom lens turns on. By doing that the camera keeps the selected saturation even when the lens gets changed.
This is what I think. Need to confirm it with different color items.
You guyz check it aswell.
I hope mate 40 doest have the same problem. Quite disappointing bug considering the price of the phone and camera quality.
