GOT 720p clearing up the hack a bit and will release it most probably tomorrow
sorry for the confusin

here is the image
now thats the kinda stuff im talking about !
lets get some effort on this, gonna start digging thru the source now..
it would be awesome if we can get this working !!!!!!!!!!!
Everytime there is a new post, I check this thread, sadly its just motivational comments. If this happens though, we will have one more thing that makes the Nexus and even better phone.
Btw guys, the sensor is definitely capable of it. Like mentioned by the OP, it's just the encoding that is holding this up.

What is the problem with the encoding to start with? I would much prefer to use the h264 codec to record video to start with, why does using it crash the camera app?
I think it would be better if we could get a constant bit rate for the video recorder instead, just like on the Milestone/Droid, rather than the frame skipping in indoor light conditions.
I also hope one day we can get a better audio format rather than 8kHz AMR in our video recordings :-(
But this is a good initiative anyway..

Thats exactly what I'm looking for in terms of fps. Made a thread requesting someone add the ability to records at constant 30fps and from my testing the framerate only drops when recording indoors or in low light conditions. The indoor lighting slows everything down but out side it records perfectly and smooth. If we can get that fixed by an android pro that would be great.
As for 720p I still think thats a hardware limitation somewhere in the lense or motherboard. If it was hardware possible, how come google didnt include that from the start?

Just want to second this. The audio quality is pathetic and makes it useless for recording voice. It is one thing I miss from the iPhone. I'd assume that changing the audio codec and bitrate wouldn't be too hard for a good dev (which I certainly am not).
Records VERY well in ideal outside conditions, shot this the other day:

Haven't tried low light, but that is using MoDaCo A21 Desire ROM.

Yes I know it works well in outdoor lighting - the point was that it skips frames indoors.
From my experience of playing DSLR
the skipping in dim environment is probably because of insufficient CPU performance. When the light is dim, slower shutter speed and higher iso is required to obtain proper exposure, thus increase the noise. More cpu resource is needed to perform noise reduction. Then if the cpu is not strong enough, it skipps
If you take photos you know when you use high ISO and noise reduction at the same time, speed and the maximum frames of continuous shooting is usually affected.
So from my view, if we cannot improve the algorithm of encoder to achieve higher efficiency(which I think is quite difficult), then force disabling the noise reduction might be a way to solve this, although the video will be noisy...
just guessing...
along with this i was also working on 30fps and 44khz sound. the max fps i could get indoor was 26, couldnt test outdoor. i am testin the sound now. Hey and 30fps is a go but 44khz sound causes fc, will check the logs. Uploading a 26.176fps video recorded on my N1. IT STILL skips some frames but the limit is lifted from 24fps stock android
Great ...
I will try it out
BUT
Your screen shot says 720 x 480 ??
That is not 720p ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p
The 720 refers to the height, not the lines
What you have is what is commonly referred to as DVD resolution (although really only for NTSC, as PAL is higher).
Incidentally ...
The Desire camera on the Nexus One can record at 800x480, but the I think it does it at 15 FPS and crap audio. 720x480 at 25-30 FPS with half decent audio would be very cool
Yes currently only 720x480. First trying to get decent video at this resolution. Then will move to increasing resolutions.
wow
480p to 720 p is a big jump
it's 2.67X data to process...
Nexus has the capability to do that, try recording a video on ur phone and see how fast it processes a 480p video. IDC if it takes a bit more time to process and if it can decode it it should be able to encode it. 528mhz magic 32a can record 640x480 so it should be possible for nexus with a far far better processor to atleast to 720p
anybody have the exact specifications of the nexus one processor, info about GPU and stuff, the problem on 720p is the excess load on processor which makes it hang and reboot

When recording in 1080p using the camera it is zoomed in. When using 720p you can see a lot more in the picture, where as 1080p seems to zoom in on the central object.
Now I was just wondering is it possible to mod this to make 1080p video record without being zoomed in (like how 720p does it) or is it impossible and it has to work that way ?

Check out the video recording review in gsmarena.com

Here's a thread about it if you want more detail.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959475
when the sensor chip (the camera) cannot crank for example 30FPS at 1080P resolution, "zooming" is a trick.
The sensor has less surface to scan with the zooming and can then crank out the said fps at said resolution.
The exynos chip however does "real" 1080p encoding and the image is really 1080p, but appears zoomed, and therefore contains slightly less details than if the sensor did not zoom (since parts of the field of view are not viewable)

So would it ever be possible to have 1080p video without 'zooming' by modding the firmware/ in a custom rom?
Or is it hardware limitation ?

Physical Hardware limitation
Native res of sensor = 3264x2448
HD Video = 1920x1080
3264 / 1920 = 1.7
so the only way to record 1920 is to bin the .7 thus cutting out much of the screen.
now 720p HD only has a horizontal res of 1280 that goes into said sensor 2.55, so you only need to cut out the .55 (less than full hd) and then read alternate pixels and bin the rest.
Hope that makes sense

I think that even binning the 0.7 factor should give a better result than the actual "zoomed in" effect. In the other hand whe should have the zoom function at 1080P resoultion too.

Humm... i'm still dubtfull about this limitation. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that the htc sensation is able to apply digital zoom @ 1080P, and it should have an 8Mpixel camera too, isn't it?
I can't post a link but if you searc for "HTC Sensation takes FULL HD 1080p videos " in youtube you will find a video taken with htc sensation with digital zoom!
I don't think that the galaxy s2 hardware is unable to do the same thiks that htc sensation does...
Oh, digital zoom is easy, but a bit pointless. So no point zooming if your source resolution drops, why not record native at the lower res and increase on pc? You will get better result that a phone attempting bilinear calculations .. So probably excluded cause of it being pointless.

Hi
digital zoom during video recording is not applied by a simple bilinear calculation. Its quite the opposite:
No zoom -> use the whole sensor area and then "downsample" it to obtain the desired dimensions
Zoom->Sample the exact dimension from the center of the sensor.
Infact, if you watch two videos of the same scene taken with the sgs2 720P and then 1080P, you will notice that the 1080P gives a zoomed effect, becouse samsung only uses the rectangle on the center of the sensor to sample the frames, while with 720P uses the whole sensor area.
Power limitations? Unskilled Samsung's engineers? Who knows..

I don't think that it's neither power limitations or unskilled samsung engineers. At 1080p, it uses most of the sensor, so zooming in will decrease the quality of the image to the point of being pointless at filming 1080p.
The reason why 720p uses the entire sensor area is because it does something called pixel binning. It uses the adjacent pixels to determine which color/info is more accurate (so a single pixel in the middle uses the ones around it to determine which color is closer to the actual source).
See here for more info:
http://www.svi.nl/PixelBinning
With pixel binning, you get less noise but at a cost of lower resolution. Therefore, they implemented zoom for 720p and the reason why 720p uses the entire sensor.
So the reason for why the 720p uses the entire sensor and 1080p only uses a section IS due to hardware limitations. 1080p needs at least a 12.4MP resolution for pixel binning.
As there is pixel binning, 720p will produce higher quality zooms than if 1080p could've zoomed using crop and bilinear enlargement (which will create pixelated images). That is why I assume they didn't include 1080p zoom - for quality purposes.
BTW - pixel binning is a technique also used by the iPhone 4.

Thats wrong! It's only correct if the sensor has the physical resolution that surpasses the target res by 2 exactly! Look at my previous post, I explain it a bit better. Your taking about sensor crop and pixel binning, not digital zoom.
Oh and bilinear is not simple, when you think of the amount of subpixel influence you have to create.
Neways, point is digital zoom creates pixels from thin air, well, programatically. So the detail is not present, hence why digital zoom is a consumer buzz than a valued feature.
Thanks for your replies guys. I would like to bring two more arguments for my theory:
1) The 720P recordings that we can find in the net shows a low quality zoom
2) In the other hand, there are some videos taken with the htc sensation that shows an almost perfect zoom @ 1080P
The question is:
if the htc product uses virtually the same sensor of the sgs2, how can they implement the zoom??
Here a video sample with digital zoom @1080P:

The answer is: Digital Zoom lol
Tis easy to see in the video that detail is lost, pixel get bigger then filtered etc. So Digital Zoom is a software feature, not hardware!
Also people seem to forget a few very important things regarding capture quality, the bitrate of the encoding profile in use. From what I see the sgs2 has a variable 10-14mbit profile active for full HD. Some of my pro cameras use 35-50mbit. So I'm going to look into how to mod this if i can since the hardware should be able to handle a higher rate, busy at the mo though.
at the end of the day though, tis a phone, if you want really good quality get a pro sumer hd cam, or a 5dmk2, or if you won the lottery get a Red Epic and shoot 5k res at 1000's fps. However none of those have mail/chat or phone capabilities
for 1080p are taken 1920x1080 pixels from the center of 8Mp sensor... (in this manner there is a "zoom effect" of about 2x and less view)
for other resolutions are applied pixel binning tecnhique (all pixel from sensor are used, and is scaling from 8mp to output video resolution)
take original pixels produces better quality (because are original pixels and not scaled), but less signal/noise ratio (but, because galaxys2 sensor is good, noise is low also if you take original pixel and don't use pixel binning that increases signal/noise ratio)..
also, use original pixels and don't use pixel binning, requires less power (in this manner you can have 1080p video at about 30fps and high bitrate)

Ok deanwray, you're perfectly right, but i would prefer to choose by myself if i wish to use the zoom or not, awared that if i use the digital zoom, the quality will be affected. In the other hand, in this way, the 1080P video would have better field of view (instead of the zoomed effect we have now) and less noise.
About the bitrate: maybe it's possible to raise it to 20Mbit, but i think that going above this limit is quite difficult. According to me, it's better to implement the zoom in 1080P and a better audio recording.
I was thinking: if they're unable to implement such features... how can we hope to obtain higher bitrates.. ?

If it's not firmware (camera firmware) limited, there are calls in the android sdk to set bitrate, I would probably look at writing a camera when I have time. Never looked at attempting to mod the default one. Have found something odd though, did a few tests, and there should be perceptual zoom due to sensor cropping at 720p, but compared against an 8mp photo, there aint! So thats a bit wierd to me

According to you, is it possible to modify/create a camera app that implements a digital zoom or better algorithms for image sampling?
What kind of access is possible to gain to the application processor's peripherals with android os?
There are some realtime image scaling algorithms that could be implemented via gpu or, better, via dsp if the exynos integrates a dsp onboard (like the TI's omap do).
I would really love being able to do some slow-mo videos with my SGS2, any way to do so?
The camera simply isn't built for that kind of use. You could do it, if there were software, but the framerate would be atrocious.

Probably the best and only solution. The camera was only built for up to 30fps I believe. If you know how slow motion cameras work (very high frame rate), you should see how this is a problem .
I'm bringing this thread back to life to save cluttering the board up with yet another similar one. I've been looking for an app to do the same thing and have, like other searching, not found anything to suit.
The reason I'm still chasing it down is that I had the Samsung Jet before my SGSII and even given it's age and utter lack of power compared it had the feature to be able to record video at high speed so that when played back it would be very good quality slow motion (25% speed if my memory recalls correctly).
Now, if that phone could do it so long ago with little native power and a poor camera then surely the SGSII could do something like that at the very least, even if the max video size had to be dropped to 640x480 or similar to keep the framerate more locked in?
Want that too!

I'm searching for this since a year from now, I think the problem remains in the drivers and not in android SO, there is one or two android phones that support is, but I dont know how exactly, if I dont misstake samsung galaxy note 2 and one motorola has slowmotion, I belive that they build a driver to use de camera as fast as possible, on other devices I think that is not possible unless some can build such driver, and that probably will need to do in some native assembler code of each device cpu and irqs, unless the company release that driver
the functions of android to get frames from camera are very limited to useless stuff and pre-set formats and fps
I dont know whats about with android 3.1+ or 4, maybe thats SO has this functionality natively
get fast fps from a ccd camera is not a MP issue nor too much CPU requeriments nor related to amount of RAM
with a windows mobile 6.1 device such samsung omnia i900, that has a 625mhz CPU and a 5MP camera you can record 120fps in 320x240, the camera of this phone has ISO 800 (it doesn't mean 800fps, but means that it can get a very tiny little power signal from sensor in a very short amount of time) but android cameras discard this features and incorporates functions very limited and related to normal users

I don't think you understand the concept of cameras well. The hardware determines whether it is 30 or 60fps and not the software.
For slow motion, the highest a consumer (or affordable) camera does is 1080p at 60fps.
There are cameras like phantom hd that do well over 1k fps but they cost 100k

Not completely accurate.
For a consumer camera, the highest framerate at 1080p might be 60fps like you say, but some low cost consumer sensors can do high fps at lower rez. My $100 Canon Elph 100HS from 2011 will do 640x480 at 120fps or (I think) 320x240 at 240fps. I've used the 480p120 option and it came out very nice for sports use, especially for reviewing batting swings with players. The sensor tech for fairly high frame rate at decent (480p) rez is not limited to >$1000 cameras, leading me to believe it's probably more software related. I don't know enough about the sensor in the GSII though.
*Edit*
Apparently the Galaxy S II uses one of two identically spec'd (according to Anandtech) sensors from either Samsung or Sony. The Sony IMX105 specs are here. According to that page the sensor should be capable of 120fps at 1/8 sub sampling. I am not entirely sure what they mean by 1/8 sub sampling, but I would assume that it means using 1/8 of the effective pixel count or about 1M pixels. If all that is true, then the hardware should be capable of 640x480 at 120fps. Some assumptions there, though.
Can someone explain why the camera of xperia mini pro s17i is so crappy? Grainy? blurry? (can go like this all day).
seriously, is there a way to overclock the cpu to get a better camera result? or maybe even full hd videos?
tnx.
Its about the quality of the sensor, (ability to capture light) no way to increase quality by overclocking.
Same goes to video recording, restricted by the sensor.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
I'm sure there's a way that you can edit the sensor. Someone just needs to figure out what the app that's controlling the camera is and see if there's anything in there that can be changed. Tbh I thought the camera on the Mini pro was quite good considering its a small phone.
LOL overclocking the cpu will not make the camera any better
You can't get better resolution of your camera, but you can playback 1080p files

I don't know why people complain about the camera on the Mini Pro. Sure, it may be grainy and blurry on low light conditions, but even digital cameras have problems with low light.
Here's a sample in a day light, I think it's amazing quality for a phone at this price.
the video camera is blurry, compared to samsung focus hd videos
Yeah I'm curious about the potential of the still camera for 1080p also, I have not read anywhere that the display can show 1080p...but surely if the video camera can take up to 720p...the display should be able to show that? Is our phone screen then 720p? Wherevere I read the specs of the phone I cannot find that info. Is it tied to resolution? We've got MDPI ... but so does the X8 and that is not 720p.
you cant record 1080p by overclocking because phone hardware must be capable to do full HD encoding, adreno205 GPU along with 1Ghz single core scorpion CPU cant encode Full HD video so unfortunately, Its impossible to record Full HD video on our devices.
People should stop posting questions without using google first.
Some display 101: the 720p,1080p,1080i are display resolutions of a said device. The number is the amount of vertical pixels and the letter is either progressive scan, or interlaced. So, our devices have 480x320 pixels. The "best" resolution is a 360p. I put " " because in the end its all about how the media file is compressed. From my experience anything over 480p is an overkill... You wont see a difference between 480p, 720p, 1080p. Just a waste of space. If you want better results with a video file download Mx video player. It allows hardware encoding.
About the camera. No you cannot change the way it works. Unless ofcourse you are able to engineer a CMOS sensor in your garage that is. So you can stick with what you get. If you arw find of night photos where it gets grainy, get a camera, rather rely on a camera phone to do your business....

Hey guys, i take my phone on trips to take snapshots and videos are 2 of the list of reasons, the quality is pretty great when taking videos too but what bugs me is the 30fps limit, it doesnt semm to be 30 at all, its more like 24 or less because everytime i change the angle even slowly the image gets all shaky and blurry (nothing to do with the autofocus) that makes me think its something to do with the low fps limit but in case im not anyone knows how to avoid it?
Also when im taking lower resolution videos like 720p the fps is still 30, is there no way to change it to 60fps at lower resolution?
Thanks in advance!
At the moment its not possible to increase the framerate over 30fps.
I have a Samsung Wave capable of record at [email protected],I miss this capability in the Samsung Galaxy S2, I think it could do it at higher resolution.
If you cant record in stable 30fps in the Galaxy S2 look at this thread:

Meh, many problems with this phone regarding camera, its such a shame it has so much freaking potential... and yet they decided to let it rot with its issues.
I guess ive learned my lesson with samsung, probably will go for Sony next time but i hate the fact that i wont get OLED screen.
Thank you for your reply and for showing me that thread
Have you Tried lg camera app? It has the option to record with more fps @ lower resolution. You can give it a try

SloPro, a recent app for iphone4 can do [email protected]
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the LG G6 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I did a few sample videos with the different quality settings and WOAH!!! Especially the videos at 60fps with adequate light from a lamp. When a lot of light it's even smoother when I figured it could not be smoother. Nothing like it. Heck, video of hands looks better than real life and you could see every piece of detail in the skin easily. But I am a photographer so am good with taking photos and have very still hands, so others experience might be a bit different from mine.
Looked great in a well-lit environment as stated above. Had a lot of noise in a darker environment, but not so much as to render it unusable. Someone that does a better job of holding the camera steady and framing the video might have a better result though.
Anyone tried the audio/video quality in loud environments such as discos, festivals , concerts ...?
Very interesting in this feature .
Thanks in advance

Here is a link to a song I recorded at a Ghost/Iron Maiden song. I forgot to put it on concert mode and left it on normal . Here is a link to a video I recorded later in the show as well, still processing so I don't think YouTube will have it in HAD for a while .

Here is the night video, I think I remembered to switch to 4k.
Very poor audio quality

good video
Is it just me or is the video quality really bad? Full HD videos are not sharp/crisp at all and there's a slight painted/blurry look to frames, even in moderately good sunny conditions.
This is more apparent with the wide angle lens but the normal lens has this too. I tried shooting with the GCam app and the normal lens video is worse than the stock app. Video Stabilisation is on. 4k videos are pretty sharp but Full HD is my preferred choice.
Anyone know any settings that could be changed to fix this?
Ok guys, this is my try. First and last part of video is recorded with LG G6, 1080p 60fps on DJI Osmo Mobile. It's not bad at all. Sharpness and crispness is better on 1080p 30fps but I needed slowmo. In manual mode you have much more control but it's OK even in auto mode. What do You think?

Fun Tip - Add motion blur to the parts where you increased the footage speed to sync up with the music. Will literally make it look 2x better.

Thanks for the tip Gagan. This is my first video in Premiere, after only 30min of tutorials. I'll try that in my next video. Cheers.
Reading posts i must ask, am i the only one who thinks that the quality of video taken with lg g6 camera is terrible and unacceptable, 1080p looks like upscale from 480p and is very overprocessed? i wrote about it to lg and they replied that everything is fine, can't believe it! 1080p video from my old lg g3 was great, g6 sucks more then anything that has ever suck before. is there any way to change it and turn current '1080p' on g6 into real 1080p?
