hello
today i successfully flashed JB 4.1.2 on my SGSA from gingerbread 2.3.6, in hopes it will solve the lack of Continuous auto-focus while recording
video, and NO! it Didn't!!
Anyone else having this?? what i mean is the Video doesn't do any autofocus while recording, and from what i've seen this needs the camera firmware to be updated, so what am i missing then?
btw the phone is not rooted

It is not working for me too. Our stock camera cant do that. I heard some 3rd party cam can, maybe JB camera from play store. Not sure btw.

well i am pretty sure it's the Camera Firmware, this guy here simply installed the camera firmware update, and thus activated the autofocus,

thinking of sending it to service center, we paid for da phone, it's a waste not to be able to record quality vids bcuz of a software bug

you mean lgcamera allows the video to autofocus?
EDIT: Good program mate, with Autofocus, yet the light exposure is messed up =(, i will send the phone to the service center, and see what they'll do
Use lgCamera, It have the click to focus and auto-focus when you are recording a videl. Sorry for my English, I'm Italian.

I found a good app or this problem.Its PerfectShot from market (pro version is also available).It has touch focus available while recording and it don't have problems of brightness found in lgcamera.

Hi.
At the moment I am using the Nova HD Plus ROM, which is a great ICS Kang, but I sadly cannot record a thing with it. Tomorrow I am going to a Sports event I would like to take some videos.
Is there something I should be aware when downgrading?
Also which ROM provides great quality videos. I used to use temasek`s KANG ROM and since he is back, I might use his ROMs again, but are there any ROMs with better video quality? Also, which kernel to use with?
Thanks in advance!
Dont think that you should worry about when changing rom. Except that you have to do a full wipe!
Go for Tamaseks KANG and Etana Kernel. Best performance and stability.
hi
The camera problem have not solve,you can download and Installation Other app to take video

Due to the lack of media acceleration, video recording doesn't work yet on CM9. We just have to be patient.
Hi!
If you would rather not risk a downgrade you can download an app to record in standard definition. I don't recall the name of it though, but I'm sure you'll find it around here if you search for it.
And I think a full wipe is enough, not sure if a "backtoExt3" is necessary though.
EDIT: As you can see in this thread

the name of the app is Video Illusion
Hello forum,
In all the Zeus Roms I've tested, there is a recurring problem and it's related to the video capture. The recording breaks/stops from time to time, and I was wondering if I'm the only one with this problem.
I've recorded a video example, please check @ 0:06. It freezes the image for almost 2 seconds
Please let me know if you have a similar problem, or what ROM you use to record flawless videos.
Thank you!
same here, even you get lags, i hade the same issue, it' from the phone it self.. not the rom

Actually, I think I had a better video recording experience in previous versions or different ROMs, including the stock one.
Anyone manages to successfully record videos? Please tell me what ROM do you use.

I have the same problem and as far as i know there is no solution to it. I have workaround however: I use another application for video recording - CameraPro and the downside is that I record in TV quality 720 x 480, but the video does not shutter anymore. I know is not the best solution, but at least I get usable videos.
PS: I use Zeus (for 4 months now) on version 6.37 now.

So if the problem is in the software, there must be some ROM out there that gets around this problem. I'll try some more when I have the time.
Thank you!

I think you can try Optimus MAX ROM from omer
I have the same problem ..
and the fact is that in froyo i had very minimum freezes . only sometime.
We all know now that the camera software is taking some bad pictures because of some compression issue.
But have anyone tried 3rd party apps like camera zoom or any other?!
Is the quality better?
I ask because I want to know if its a software issue or a hardware issue...and want to know before I buy 3rd-party camera app.

The quality is the same since every 3rd party app uses the camera APIs or camera Framework provided by Sony. It's a software problem, not a hardware one, but Sony is who has to improve it.
I wonder if CM or AOKP roms have their own "camera API" instead of Sony's. Probably they could fix the issue before than Sony does...

Thanks for answer...Hm thats not good...Does CM or AOKP teams know about the issue or said anything about improving the camera for us?!
I did a chat with sony support and they said they are looking in to the matter but "don't know when/how the issue will be solved"
It's a software problem.
For daylight i use the stock camera in burst mode,it give a very good image quality.
For night time i use night camera from playstore,it removes all the noise.

Only difference I noticed with camera zoom is u can set 100% jpg quality and pics go to 2.5mb instead max 2.2mb
So it's not much better but I hope rizal finds a solution for the problem like he did with my neo camera

guyz when i take photos with my sp 8 MP the photos looks like minus 8 MP not 8
reallly we should do something about this we have paid for 8 mp camera not a potato camera !!
pm: i used pro capture and many other applications but the shots arenot even near to any samsung 8 mp phone while the video recording isnot that bad
Known issue. Some say hardware some say software. I believe that this is a software matter. You need to turn off superior and go to normal. I also installed the stock ICS app (search XDA or go to Google Play).
For me the main issue is yellow inside the picture when i take one at night with flash on.. But like i said i believe this is a software issue
if its a software problem then its a disaster and if its a hardware problem then its a ****en disaster .. how come
yea btw i noticed that yellow dominance on the photo but u can solve it using procapture but the over all quality still sux
Well it is not a disaster since a software bug can be patched and a hardware bug needs to be replaced or fixed by a service centre
Outdoor pictures seems ok for me if I am not using the superior auto mode. However yellowish pictures during the night sucks. Seems like the white balance in the software is messed up. Just change the white balance mode to incandescent during night.
Well day time shots look fairly nice in my opinion. During the indoor,moderate light and low light conditions there is a lot of noise and video is exceptionally bad. Im not really sure as to what the problem is, the Sony Exmor sensor is supposed to be really good tech, so im hoping its a software bug. Or it could be that the mobile version of the exmor sensor used in the XSP just isint a good lowlight performer. Your guess is as good as mine
Btw if you guys are rooted with CWM then i suggest u take a look at this mod.After flashing this my camera performed slightly better.

I think it'll be hardware tbh, surely If it was software somebody would've created a fix?

It's not easy to make a fix for camera ! It would probably need rewriting of some libraries and require a lot of skills. It's not very likely that we have someone who can do that in or XSP community. Plus the camera libraries are probably not open source so it will be even more difficult.

I agree, we cant be quick to blame the hardware. Camera libs are sony's proprietary software so i dont think theres much we can do atm(hack ,modify etc). In time im sure sony will release a fix, quite possibly in the upcoming 4.3 update.
Cheers
Still dont believe its a software issue.
What makes everybody think Sony will solve it via update?

I never said Sony will fix it. I said it is complicated to fix. Hopefully Sony or another developer will do it but it is not very likely. We shouldn't stop to hope anyway!

Hi,
Is it possible to use any third party camera app that can produce better depth effect without any shutter lag.... And yah, without rooting, coz its just few days old so dont wanna loose warranty.
Moto camera app is nothing but a **** rit now...
Ignore me.

Sorry but dint use professional mode.... Minor shutter lag in normal photo mode and frustrating 4 to 5 sec lag in depth mode... Any third part app and sorry but my cam app is updated.
Have you updated the moto camera app?
Well so far for depth effect to work with diff camera app it needs to contain that of hardware side support for g5s+ too so, I don't think u can find one at time to get apk besides Moto camera which works on depth effect perfectly well even Moto camera sux a bunch cause of software side lags

Recent camera 2 update reduce the shutter lag and little improvement in pic quality too..... Hope i will better with new update if they are planing to.
