Very slow focus on 1080p 60fps - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Does anyone else have this problem? I have the exynos model and when i shoot at 1080p 60fps and move the phone close and far the camera make about 2 to 3 seconds to focus the point. When I am in different modes it is almost instant. Is it normal?

My 950F focuses in little less than 1 second while zooming in/out and moving the phone at the same time

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

4K video recording

Hello everyone, on my XZ2 I can't record 4K videos. Well, I can, but they stutter while recording, or even freeze up. Sometimes the phone then freezes up too. Some reviewer mentioned stuttering viewfinder while recording videos, but when playing back it stutters too. Only if I disable shake reduction and HDR I have a chance of recording relatively smooth video. Otherwise I experience massive frame drops. h264 or h265 don't seem to make a difference. I've also recorded to the internal memory to make sure it's not a slow SD card causing issues.
It's the first phone this has ever happened to me. LG G5? Smooth 4K. LG V20? Smooth too. Xiaomi Mi 6? Yep. Even with a Snapdragon 810 (!) did smooth videos (I think my Snapdragon 800 based Mi 3 was smoother using Open Camera...).
Basically: WTH?
Also the XZ2 keeps overheating when taking photos. As a result certain features are deactivated, or it even quits the camera.
Any tricks? Anyone else having issues? My phone is a marketing sample, so probably early in the production run, so that may cause the issues?
Same here on 4K recording. No overheat on camera yet. Just went on holiday and took 900+ pics with no issues. Decent quality too. Disappointed with 4K recording capability though.

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.

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.
