[Q] Better slow motion?

Hello,
I like the slow motion feature very much, and i use it alot.
The only thing bothering me is the slow bitrate while capturing a 720p 120fps video.
The reletavely low resolution+low bitrate sometimes generates very blurry/noisy videos (especially in low light or when there's a light coming from a lamp)
Moreover, sometimes the focus gets tricky while capturing 120fps slow motion videos.
I wanted to ask if there is some way to improve some of this isuues, maybe switch to ColorOS camera or so?
Thanks in advance
Try the moded Camera Next and see if you find any difference... http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275

Front-Facing Camera Auto Focus issues during videos.

Hey, All,
I was shooting a video using the front-facing camera today and noticed something that I never had to deal with with my Pixel 2XL or my iPhone 7+.
During the recording, about every 25 seconds, the Camera would go out of focus for about 5 or 6 seconds and then go back into focus. It was just me talking on screen. No movement, no objects getting closer, no moving backrounds ether.
I tried it using the stock camera app as well as Open Camera. The auto focus issue happened during videos in both apps.
This is a deal breaker for me, so I'm hoping there's an easy fix.
Thanks so much in advance.

is video mode supposed to have slight delay?

When I switch to video mode and start recording or just looking at screen before I start to record, I dont know how to explain it but i notice a slight delay or lag, like picture is coming late 50-100ms...for example if I move my hand in front of the camera i see its movement delayed.
It happens only in video mode, photo mode and other mods like slow motion, hyperlapse etc. are fine without any delay. Also I tried other camera apps and its fine there also, only video mode in stock camera. I tried disabling video stabilization but no changes. I am on s10, exynos.

Why is video recording so much zoomed in on 1x?

I made new account just for be able to ask this. I don't know if its annoying to you but why is video recording so much zoomed in 1x, so much more compared to 1x on photo? I tried samsung, iphone even regular p30 and only only p30 pro is so much zoomed in.On other phone you can even turn off and video recording on 1x is same as taking photo on 1x. I can use wide when video recording but the quality just isn't the same as on 1x. Its really really annoying to the point i actually wanna sell my phone. Everytime i have to video something in front of me i have to step back few meters but most of the time well i just can't. I don't know if this problem is some kind of bug, error of whatnot. I thought maybe update 10 would fix this but nothing..
It's due to Huawei's implementation of image stabilisation. The camera is recording a slightly wider field of view than you actually see, but to compensate for hand movements the camera crops the frame and adjusts its position in real time relative to any movements. Each phone will do this in slightly different ways and it seems Huawei's implementation is heavier on the cropping.

Its too heavy, its too much crop. You can't even record something in front you. Its so terrible. I wish we could turn off video stabilization like on other phones
I mean, an alternative is to zoom out to 0.9x and utilise the wide angle lens, then you can video at pretty much the same frame as 1x photography - just not ideal in low light situations as the wide angle lens (understandably) can't let in as much light per pixel.
I have same issue on huawei mate 10 pro. I downloaded other camera app (named open camera ) and it works normal. I use it mostly for videos to record something in front of myself.

Question Inconsistent Exposure When Recording Video

I'm having an issue where the video would the exposure would flicker even when recording a stationary object. It's not that bad, but it's noticeable enough that you can tell it's from a not-so-good camera. I've tried using GCam and issue still persists, so I'm not sure if the sensor is just bad or it's an issue with my phone. Recording with my 13 or 16 MP Samsung camera from 5-6 years ago still looks better than this and doesn't look as blurred.
