[Q] Touch to focus while video recording? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the Note support this feature? I remember I had it on my HTC desire z and I didnt imagine that Note wouldnt support it. If the hardware is ok, then what camera app should I use? I have tried a few but none worked. It is very annoying not to be able to focus during video shooting. Will I always be stuck with blurry, OOF videos? Touch-to-focus works ok when taking pictures.

Nobody knows? Is it such a big mistery? Nobody around here achieved to do that?

Try JB CAMERA + it is a good camera app
hit- THANKS if I helped

No, it didn't work. Thank you anyway!
Well, I am still amazed. There are no Note owners around here? There are guys making roms and apps here but nobody would help me with this simple question? Is GT-N7000 capable of touch / tap to focus while video recording or not?

[Q] Almost certainly a dumb question but - SG3 Camera app to Note?

Hi guys
This is probably a real dumb question but you'll have to forgive me as I'm a noob to android.
Is it likely that the Galaxy III camera app will get ported to the note? They are both 8 megapixel cameras, but I"m wondering whether there is a hardware difference or not?
If not, would it be theoretically possible to port the scrummy new Camera app with burst mode to the Note? Because that would be sweet!
Or am I asking something ridiculous?!
kind regards
Robsa
ETA: Ok, sorry fellas I finally found a post where this has come up and apparently hardware differences are likely. Pity!
Why not just use Camera Zoom FX or another camera app in the Play Store?
There are apps that offer burst mode, but with Note's camera they don't work so well. But if you're thinking of SIII's 0-lag shutter burst mode - than no, it's a hardware feature.

You should try fast burst camera.

Moved To Q&A​
Please post questions in the Q&A section​
Is there no way to enable burst shots in the default camera app? Since the best pictures usually come a second after taking the first - when the terror of having your picture taken is over and people have relaxed. Not having to switch apps would be a bonus.
It'd be great to see this working with the full res the Gnote offers

Not possible, and needs different hardware for true burst operation.

Video recording problem (Zeus v6.36)

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!

[Q] Video auto-focus issue again on Jelly bean!?!?!

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

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.

For the N6? Manual Camera! Lovin this app! It's still a work in progress, but it is a very cool app.

I switched from Manual camera to Camera FV-5, which also uses the new APIs (so it can output DNG). It is a lot more polished and stable than Manual Camera.

Manual camera capture in 4:3 and you cant change quality and HDR seems very broken or non functional.
Very slow shutter rate, aosp and google camera is so much faster, Manual Camara not worth it at all.

It seems you have missed the idea of the app. It's called MANUAL CAMERA!
You don't change "quality" settings. You don't have HDR mode. Those are AUTOMATIC modes. This is a MANUAL application that allows you to adjust MANUAL settings like ISO, Shutter Speed, Over/Under exposure, white balance, etc. If you want all the "programmed" or "automatic" settings that come in the camera app, then use the camera app!
And if your shutter rate is slow, it's because you have a SLOW SHUTTER SPEED selected!!!!
Complaining about an app that is doing what it's supposed to do, is epitome if stupidity!
ARGH!!!!!!!

The app works perfectly fine on my Nexus 6 and I really like the manual options. Too bad it's not possible to edit the raw images on the phone yet.
And the low fps isn't a problem on a phone for me because the auto focus isn't that fast anyway.
A timer for timelapse photos could be a nice feature.

Manual Camera was updated to v2.1 today, and it is now showing as incompatible on the N6. Anyone else seeing this?

Google kinda dropped the ball on it. Hopefully it will be functionality added in at some point.
core issues with N6 video before slo-mo can happen

My sense is there are some very serious issue preventing slo-mo. That is, slo-mo you want to share because it would be close to garbage as it stands.
I shoot video frequently and was very unhappy when I got my N6.
- signal to noise (S/N) is not good on this device at this stage of the game. It simply is noisy, and it is correctable in software. Until then, slo-mo will be very nasty if anyone is brave enough to try to encode it.
- exposure compensation in video mode is poor - if you shoot a video of a person sitting in front of a blank wall (or a sky) and slowly pan up and down - you can see the exposure compensation "clicking" in stairstep manner as the device adjusts to brightness changes. It needs to be silky smooth or video looks like crap. It can be corrected in software.
- you can workaround the exposure issue by using a third party app which locks exposure compensation - but shooting video with locked exposure compensation is not a good solution.
my opinions.
@warriorpluto I couldn't agree more...I was hoping that there be at least a working port of maybe lenovo, sense 6 camera,z2 or z3 camera...maybe when more devices get lollipop well be able to enjoy the nexus camera...but I suppose for now the google camera shall do for now lol smh
Z camera is good enough. The only one u can take picture wit no lag. But no HDR .

Manual Camera just came out a few weeks ago, but it's by far been the best for me (a camera junkie).
It's best used if you're used to the settings on a DSLR, but has an awesome auto setting and the fastest auto-focus i've seen yet on the N6.
So is the best camera app "Camera FV-5" with Cinema FV-5?
Just cleaned up in here. You guys can take the political debate to a different forum, please. I have absolutely no idea why this subject got brought up in camera thread (actually I do, but I'll deal with the certain member(s))......on a development site.
No need to discuss what I just cleaned in here. Please keep it on topic.

Hello sir, I'm using custom ROM 9.0 (Pixel Experience) and my Moto Camera is working fine but only one thing is not working and that is the 1080p(60fps) video. When recording video from the back facing camera, all the other video sizes are working fine but whenever I switch to the 1080p 60fps and try to record a video the camera does nothing and a message pops out "Cannot start video capture. Another app may be using the mic". My front facing camera is working properly but this one particular problem is bothering me alot.
