Question S21 Ultra 20x video zoom restriction unlock? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hi i see in picture mode you can do the full 100x zoom but video mode has been restricted to only 20x? why lol is there a way to bypass this or unlock the feature anyone have any luck? i got my phone yesterday the zoom is crazy on this phone now if the video had the same zoom it be even more crazy. What it needs is min at-least 30x zoom unlock since the lens is clear at this zoom so there must be a way to actually unlock that i would say.

You can always press and hold the photo shutter button and it will take a video instead, I think at only 1080p though.

In video mode at 100x zoom?

It took me literally 15 seconds to test that myself. Yes, it works at 100x.

Another way is to simply zoom in picture mode and use screen recorder to record the screen that works too at 100x zoom

[Q] Photos + Gallery Help

Hello guys,
With a little help from my friend i believe i will solve this issue.
When i take some photos and use the video feature, to compile all the photos and make a beautiful video with some effects with all the photos i've taken, some of the photos (in the video) appear to be doubled (in the same image) during the video.
Some photos split in 2, other in 3.
What is this? Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are talking about the ''video highlight'' feature in the gallery app, this is normal, its a built-in effect to compensate for pictures taken in portrait mode(1080*1920) when the video plays in landscape mode (1920*1080). If picture were not duplicated/cropped that way, there will be 2 black bars each sides for every pictures clicked in portrait.

Hello,
Thanks for your kind answer.
Let me explain better:
Today i take some photos. I select the photos and with video highlight feature, some of the photos i selected appear in the video doubled or tripled (in the same image). Like same picture: left side no zoom, right side with zoom.
Did i make myself clear? Do you understand?
Only in the video some photos appear with the image divided. Same picture both sides (sometimes with zoom, other times no zoom at all).
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Yes that was already clear, the issue you are talking about is not, its a built-in effect from the ''video highlight'' feature of the gallery app.
All HTC One do exactly the same thing.

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.

Video file framesize not matching what Camera sees

Hello people! I'm trying to record video with my new OP3T, but when I watch the recording, the video frame size (or field of view I suppose) is smaller than what it looks like when I'm shooting. I mean the video resolution is still 1920x1080, but things at the edges of the screen are now out of view. I'm using 1920x1080 @30 FPS, stock camera app, Android 7.0. Same thing happens with other resolutions and FPS settings, and with OpenCamera app for example. But it does not happen when taking pictures, and even when I take a static shot WHILE shooting video, that picture comes out fine.
Is this a known issue? How could I solve this? Is there any modification that could help?

Seems to be a known issue. Watch this video (pay attention at 3:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFC9OB85Tpk&t
I don't know if this can be solved as i received my 3T yesterday and haven't had a chance to use the camera yet.

It seems so, yeah. Do you know if this sort of cropping happens during shooting or is it a separate process that's done afterwards? I figured this might be solvable somehow, since you do see the whole picture while you're recording. So it's not a physical limitation of the camera lens or anything.

Noticed that OpenCamera has a function to enable Camera2 API, which fixed the cropping! Also I found that on stock camera app, recording on 4K UHD (3840x2160) doesn't crop the video frame. But it limits to 10 minutes per shot (also workable on OpenCamera due to its restart recording function.)
It's the electronic image stabilisation. It needs to zoom in a little bit to stabilize the video. That's why the 4k isn't cropped, because in 4k, there is only OIS, and not EIS.

Exactly what I thought was the cause of it, thanks for clearing this up ??
Is there any way to disable stabilisation? Different camera app, some mod or something? Even OpenCamera doesn't specifically have a setting for that, but I guess Camera2 API doesn't support EIS or something, which feels like a crutch "solution" at best.

Scan build.prop see if there is some line related to ois or eis.

zoom into a video during playback

I searched on the forum but could not find anything about zoom except for zooming in while taking a picture or shooting a video. On my old Samsung when replaying a video, you could zoom into the video.
When I do that movement of spreading your fingers on my Huawei the video just fast forwards. Is it even possible to zoom into a video while replaying without using that option that everything zooms in by tapping 3 times.

Not with stock video player.
Coming from a Sony I Was happy with their album/photo video player app.
It supports pan and zoom.
You can get it from here

No video stabilization in pie?

Just got updated to pie last night. This morning while I was testing camera settings, I noticed that video stabilization is missing in the default camera app settings. in Oreo, I can stabilize videos (except 4k and 16:9), but now, it's simply missing. And test shots confirmed that there is no stabilization (optical or what so ever) anymore. That just sucks. It was very useful to take videos of my kids playing while running after them. Now without it, all the videos gonna be garbage.
Any idea how to fix it? or just simply accept it as it is?
You've got stabilisation in 1080P FHD enabled by default. There is no option for stabilisation because it's enabled by default in supported resolutions.

Which makes is quite useless for pro use with a gimbal or other situations where you want stabilisation off. Great camera hardware by Sony, lousy software to control it by Huawei.
When you dont want ois and want use gimbal, then use another resolution
4k example

This was my thought too at first. Then I tried Full-HD 30 FPS with my gimbal and it works fine! Also FHD 60FPS and 4K work too, as expected.

? Not doable due to after processing constraints.
I'm still on Oreo, I just extracted the Huawei Camera APK with APK Extractor Lite. Can someone on Android Pie try to install the old camera apk (if installing is successful) and look if stabilisation is working again?

Ois works for 1080p 30 fps / 16:9 only.
It works in:
- 720p 30fps
- 1080p 30fps (both 16:9 and 18:9)
There is a workaround, if you want to shut it off. Go to video mode ( not pro mode), turn on beautification. The OIS stopped working, but you're stuck at 720p 30fps.

I think it is the EIS (software stabilization) because the OIS is built into the lens, it seems to work in all resolutions.
The EIS crops the video a bit, and tries to reframe it to cancel harsh movement. But it compensates (in my P10 phone at least, which model seems also affected with the bug) to wrong direction turned 90 degree. If You move up-down, it compensates left-right for me, causing more fake shake recorded.
Hello! So reading this feed, it sounds as though the stabilisation is still working for the Huawei P20 Pro cam, but just the option to turn this on and off has recently disappeared. Weird. Why would Huawei do this? Is the stabilisation definitely still working on all resolutions barring 40? My eyes suggest otherwise.
