Video focus
The camera in the S3 Mini can not focus while recording video. It's an info that i got watching lots of reviews about this phone. It just doesn't focus while recording video. Maybe it could be fixed with an software update ..... I don't know.

Wait is that even possible?

Just tried Lgcamera app from Play Store ..... It uses "touch to focus" while recording videos. Doesn't autofocus but you can focus manualy . I still hope for an update from Samsung about this issue. The app is free and packed with shooting options.

[Q] No focus on close up video recording

Is it just me or doesn't the video recorder have autofocus? I seem to remember that on my SGSII I could point the camera and before starting to record I could press anywhere on the screen where I wanted focus and then start recording.
This works on the Note on the still camera but not on the video camera
Anyone knows if there's a fix for it?

Yeah there is no way to select what you want in focus in video mode. Hopefully Samsung address this in ICS update
I cannot believe how many problems the Note has...I should be better than GS2...

[Q] [9001] can anyone improve macro for camera?

hi all.
do you know that stock camera for i9001 can take pictures closer than film videos?
after i find it i was interested is there some app that can film videos in macro... i download LGcamera free from market and find out that this app can focus in preview to macro objects even closer than stock app, for distance about 2cm! try it, it is amasing! but it can't film video in macro! afrer pressing the shutter button focus go away for 50cm or something...
i find this strange, why macro is different in different apps and why app can focus for macro filming in preview, but can't actually film a video? it is seem to be just a software issue.
can anyone please fix it in firmware? it will be really cool to take macro pictures and videos in HD720p

[Q] Camera not focusing on Instagram Recording.

Whenever I try to record a video on Instagram, I'm able to. But I'm not able to focus on I try to tap to focus, so it makes the video blurry. Although the Instagram camera focus when I tap to focus. It's just the recording that doesn't focus. Happened to my friend too, and other apps seem to be able to focus, so it's more of a software than a hardware problem.
This has happened to be on JB and KK. Anyone has this problem? And were you able to solve it?

Instant Switching Dual Camera Recording?

I know that iPhone have this feature. User can instantly switching between front and rear camera to record video. Don't get confuse with dual camera mode, which records video on one file with thumbnail within. A friend of mine was wondering if the Note 3 have this feature or not. I tried to google around but it seems to me that this feature does not exist at all. Can a user on Note 3 record a video via rear camera and instantly switch to front camera and record video? Does anyone know if there is some sort of app to do that? Thanks in advance.

Slow motion setting not working

Hi
My camera record slow motion video but when recording was done and when i want set slow motion speed the setting button not working.
Is there any guide for this?
Thank you everyone
#edit# i have this problem with all video files! Setting button has no functionality!! #
I think it's camera bug or 'slow motion' doesn't support some video formats. In some firmwares there were that problems. You can flash another firmware or install other camera app that supports slow motion.

Thank you for your answer
I want to know is every one phones same as me or not?
please some huawei p10 owners tell about their slow motion mode.
can you change slow motion speed or not ?
I had a similar problem but managed to find the solution. When I got my phone, I uninstalled/blocked all of the bloatware. Amongst these programs was also the Videos application, which I blocked. It appeared that this app was needed to edit the videos. Now that I have it unblocked everything is working fine again.
The slow motion and sometimes video recordings are unpredictable as for performance. I think the SLO-MO is bugus. Never worked for me, only intermittent..
Which video app do you mean ? by title and if I uninstall will the camera app still work. I will not be editing in my phone. I have fabulous slomo at hoghest frame rate but the other 2 speeds do not work. If I remove will ithey now work ? Also slo mo ar highest speed have no control over film captured action duration . Thought it would continue recording slomo till I pressed stop ?
Hope for answers for my P20 Pro
thanks
