Choppy front video recording - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to increase the frame rate while recording with front camera? This phone can only do 15 fps even at lower resolution at indoors as I tested it and video recording indoor is poor as well as the audio that came with it

And I observed that the front camera records video much better that the rear in indoors

Yes camera needs some software improvements.

FPS Dropping in low-light

Loving this phone so far except for one thing. When recording in low-light, there is a significant decrease of fps.
I realize that the 28mm f/2.0 lens is the best out there so why would HTC pair it with such a crippling software feature???
I'd rather have the software crank up the ISO or lose a little exposure to keep the video at a steady 30 or 24 fps instead of the stuttering/lag effect.
Some of my videos uploaded in low-light areas are averaging 20/fps.
Do any of you know if HTC usually updates the camera software or if an outside dev would come out with a camera hack allowing us to lock the framerate?
I'm pretty sure this is a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming update

[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

Camera problem.

Outside (the house), cameras works great, quality is good and about 12mbps bit-rate and 30 fps, inside however cameras lag like hell, record at 10 fps 4mbps (bit-rate drop of course related to fps drop). I think it has do do with lighting, inside a room it records at 10fps but if I point camera at a light bulb it goes to 30 fps and records smoothly.
So seems like a lot of video noise is generated when filming in dark and hardware can't keep up. Are you tablets the same? is there anything that can fix this? It's on FireOS 5.1.1.
edit: Ok, I see from this video that this is expected from this tablet. But not sure about the reason, maybe it has to do with not enough light reaching the sensor for 30fps? I have no idea what I'm talking about though. Is there any software way to increase FPS in the dark?
P.S the camera app is so bad without any options.

Every device with a camera I have ever owned works like this, including film cameras since they were invented. Less light = longer exposure, everything else being equal.

Choppy front video recording

Is there any way to increase video frame rate while recording with front camera? My mi 5 can only do an abysmal 15 fps with front camera even at lower resolution and the audio that it captured is horrible and also indoor video recording is horrible too

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.
