I when i record a video and play it back. As soon as i start play, the screen dims.
I just got my S3 a few hours ago and its not stock. Is that a normal behavior?
My previous HOX did something very similar.
thx, nearly
Check for the brightness settings in the video player, it's on auto brightness, turn it off.
Sent from my s3
thanks a lot
Everytime I playback videos i've filmed they look very dim, yet if I hit backup it momentarily shows the video at its correct brightness level. Plus also the preview of the video is at the correct brightness level.
I've tried changing a few of the phones Display settings but nothing seems to stop this from happening. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated.
Go into a video, pause it, hit menu and change the brightness from inside the player, disable auto-brightness as well while you are at it.
Ahh got it. I was doing that but initially could only see a few options, this time though I tried scrolling down and saw a load more including settings where I was able to disable auto brightness. Thanks.
So I downloaded a screen filter app of Google play and I've noticed that when I switch to full screen in the YouTube app and the play/pause button disappears the screen turns washed out. I don't remember it being like that before I got the app so I uninstalled it and that didn't work so I reset my phone but that still didn't work. It also happens watching videos off the internet in the stock video player. Is there a way to fix this or has it always been like that?
I recorded a video recently and noticed when I went to watch it that the screen dims dramatically. Happens with with all the videos a recorded. I found this very odd. Is this normal?

Your gallery cam have a separate brightness setting. When you play the video, tap the menu button and then settings. You'll be able to adjust the brightness default for videos in gallery.

Thanks, but I'm not understanding what you trying to tell me.
But I figured it out.
If I scroll my finger along the left side of the screen I can adjust the brightness (right side adjust the volume). I had someone taking videos for me at an event and it seems they managed to lower the brightness in the video player.

My misspellings didn't help. Fixed them.
So (I think) when you swipe up/down on the left it just adjusts the brightness for that video while you're watching it. If you instead hit the menu/settings button (3 dots) there inside the video, you'll be able to adjust the default brightness setting for when you play any video in the gallery. So it will always be brighter, every time.
By doing it the way your doing, sliding up and down on left, I think it is just adjusting the brightness that one particular time, and then brightness will just go back to the old setting.
Thanks, I found the setting in the video menu, but it keeped the brighter setting from running my finger up the left side of the screen. So both methods seem to work.
Hello all,
This has been an issue since I got the pixel 6 at launch. When playing videos, the shadows appear washed out. It appears to be some sort of gamma shift or HDR tone mapping issue. This happens when in google photos, chrome browser, imgur, even other apps. (youtube is fine).
I've confirmed in person this happens to other pixels one of which was pixel 6 pro.
The issue is recorded here:
I tried changing the color setup under display options in system settings, turning off H265 in camera settings, booting into safe mode, forcing 60hz refresh rate, but it still washes out the videos.
This does not happen with videos shot by other phones, for example my wife's iPhone shot video then sent it over to me and the gamma shift does not happen...
Strange thing is, in Chrome while playing the video, as soon as I swipe up from the bottom to open the recent apps, the video jumps back to normal as seen here:

I reported this to google, and their chat support to me to fully nuke my phone to factory....
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and could other Pixel 6 users verify it's happening on their devices as well ?
Thank you

I seldom shoot video with phones and usually don't like to reference reviews. But from what you described Dxomark's summary about video performance is looking to be spot-on.
Google Pixel 6 Camera review: An outstanding performer in its segment - DXOMARK
The Google Pixel 6 camera displayed an outstanding performanc and is currently the best option for photographers who prefer smaller devices.

My experience with dark objects in still photos has been somewhat similar. Recently I couldn't get enough detail photographing black camera bodies I'm selling online. Even with direct light from a daylight LED lamp I ended up using night mode. Every speck of dust showed up which wasn't ideal either.
Over all, though, I like the Pixel 6 camera.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same issue... though it's not for every video, just in certain programs/websites.
Cheers.
I've been able to remedy this in chrome by turning off HW Overlays in Developer Options.
It's still an issue in Google Photos.

Author of the post found the solution and you should be able to see it in the thread. "turning off HW Overlays in Developer Options." It helped me a lot

Sorry if I didin't understand it at first, the toggle to disable HW Overlays in the developer options will always turn off again, at least in Pixel 6, so that's what confused me

Huh it stays on on note 10 . In that case i am not shure how u can keep it on. Can u elaborate on when it turn itself off back again?
Weird, after I turn it on, I can go to any other screen on the phone, if I come back the toggle it´s off again, maybe it´s a bug on my end, here´s the example
