[Q] Video recording focus

Anyone knows if I could choose a location to focus on when I do video recording? And also, when I'm recording video from a distance, the camera constants shift focus, causing videos to blur on and off.
Is there a fix or any settings that I've gotten wrong? Thanks!

[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...

Problem with ROTATION tag in video recordings

I have a nasty problem recording video with my samsung devices (seems to be all of them from S3 to my Note 4)
it adds a rotation tag or some sort to the video. if you start a video with an "unclear" orientation (say flat screen up point straight down) this problem becomes apparent.
or if you hold the phone upright portrait and record a video but then turn it landscape it "keeps" the video in portrait for playback (yes this includes once I upload to youtube extremely annoying)
I will record a video normally and it will be "vertical video" (portrait) instead of landscape like I am holding it.
or as with today the video was rotated 180' upside down.
Is there an app I can install that will let me strip/reset this rotation tag so all my videos playback "landscape" proper and not 90' or 180' ? ie let me "correct" the dumb meta tag rotation tag or whatever it is samsung adds to the video causing it to do this.?

Any app exist to adjust exposure in video call.? (in whatsapp, imo etc)

video call in low light situation is painful when my Gnex has no front flash. is there any app or mod to adjust the exposure level in video call.?
I did not find any app which helps you to adjust exposure in video calls. The only way is you can adjust the webcam video setting properly to get better video results. When you are using Skype for video calling, then you go to Tools>Options>Video Settings. In video setting you have an option to watch video preview and adjust color, brightness, exposure and other elements.
I think many users will really appreciate it
Video quality in video calls are very low

Photo while taking a video - is it a sham?

I have been playing around with options to burst photos whilst taking a video. Using the default camera app on my honor view phone, when taking a video the photo button appears to be doing nothing more than taking a screenshot of the current video frame.
Taking a still photo with photo mode selected produces a nice and crisp image.
Taking a photo during video recording generates a fuzzy image which is no better than screenshotting the video during playback.
Can anyone else confirm or deny this behaviour on another devices?
