[Q] Full hd video camera's field of view

Why when recording video at Full HD the angle of view changes ?
The higher the video resolution the narrower the field of view becomes.
Of course the lens is prime so is it using only the center of the sensor ?
thanks
zoom - wide
when recording video at 1080p the lens becomes zoom.
when recording video at low resolutions or just using the camera for photos it becomes wide lens.
have you noticed it ?
A thought I made was that because the lens is prime it crops from the center of the sensor for HD video. But what's the reason to do something like this? Easier CPU processing ?
any thoughts ?
And talking about the video ...
Is there a possibility (mod or app) to record video with the screen off ???
camera noise
I don't know about the screen but I am glad they silence the camera's shutter sound when the phone is at silent mode with the new official update.
There was someone that enabled a no-zoomed mode in the camera app. But that made you lose 720p recording, as he had to change the 720p mode into 1080p "wide" recording. Maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and has the apk for you.
good idea
Why not recording full hd video at wide and zooming in (like the camera does) when ever you want ... maybe because this means that the phone has to capture video at 8 megapixel and then downgrade it at Full HD. So this must be more CPU demanding.
Probably the phone records video at 1920x1080 using the center of the sensor. Capturing only the center of the sensor does the zoom effect. I cant think another reason why loosing the wide angle.
The narrow field of view is useful in some cases (maybe outside) but recording inside rooms everything is very close...

Camera Focus

I noticed that the Camera doesnt like to focus all the time when taking pictures with the sock camera app. I used different apps and they work fine. But i want to record videos. When doing so the camera goes out of focus alot. Is there any fix or an alternative video recording app with 1080p recording?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Good question, the continuous autofocus on my i717 is completely useless. I miss my Motorola Atrix 2 with its awesome touch to focus. I don't think it is possible to enable touch to focus.

[Q] Camera shots not always taken at the set resolution

When using burst mode with best photo on and resolution of 6MP (wide) some camera shots are taken at lower resolution of 1280x720 always using the rear camera not the front. Why is this happening?
Can someone help me please this is very annoying

How to record video without zoom

Hey
I wonder if its possible to record without the camera to zoom. Apparently photo and video is 2 different cameras and then you start to record it will zoom in but if you are using snapchat it wont zoom in when youre recording so it might be possible. Anybody with some good ideas?
It's all in the aspect ratio. Photos are captured in 4:3 aspect ratio, videos are 16:9 so it ends up being a cropped image from the sensor. Snapchat probably uses a different resolution that the native camera app doesn't support.
You could set your photo aspect ratio to 16:9 then you wouldn't see a difference when switching to video mode, but you're also reducing the megapixel count by doing so

if you long press on the record button, it will zoom at the beginning of the long press, but will not start recording until you release the long press. that gives you time to preview the zoom and frame the shot before you begin recording.
