Hey guys,
I've got an xperia mini on ICS and, although it's not my main phone I still carry it around for it's pure small-factor-size. Just seems to fit anywhere.
The only thing I'm not impressed with is the video recording. It's S**T. Camera capture is pretty decent but the video recording is so blocky and jpegy it looks like its been compressed to play on a calculator. (and yes it is set to high quality in settings)
Now I don't believe this is the best the camera module can do. Is there no kind of app that can capture raw data from the camera and not compress it quite so much?
Am I asking too much?

There is any app or hack or mod that allow the s2 to record at higher framerate and reduced resolution?
Like 240fps and 320x240.
Or maybe 120fps @ 640x480
It would be very nice and funny
I think a dev can modify a rom to make it works.
Never heard of this
sorry
hope it helped
Was reading a thread on why ICS. Some mentioned better photos and uncompressed jpg files.
When I first bought the phone, it was recommended to try 3rd party camera apps because they didn't compress the jpg. I gave those a try, and yes photos weren't compressed, but I saw little benefit.
Can someone with experience provide some insight? Are photos really better on ICS or is it similar to photo quality from 3rd party camera apps?
I'm wondering if Sony can defeat compression before the 3rd party camera apps.
Regards,
Mike
Dont know that is it better then 3rd party camera app or not. but in ICS photo quality is better then GB. but in GB u can record video quality better then ICS in ICS Video Lag which is irritating for me...in GB install Camera 360 now u can capture pictures in good quality but for ics i dont know how to record lag free video in HD Resolutions

Does Camera 360 = ICS photo quality?
I think CM 7.2 also has better camera
I think its same for both!

no diffrrent if there is a change its verey low
Hey guys,
I've been messing around with ICS for a while now, and to be quite honest, I haven't noticed a difference in photo quality apart from a slight improvement in macro images.
However, as previously mentioned, HD video is awful! It lags very frequently, but when it is smooth it's the same quality as in GB.
I prefer the GB camera app though, much more to mess around with settings wise, if someone finds a better replacement app then please link me it :')
Just wanted to give my thoughts, that's all

I just recorded a small video of a local event with stock camera app set on 1080p video. In the video if you look around face of the singer or any thin lines, you will see little squares or jagged lines etc., as if the video was upscaled from 480p or something. It's even more visible on original file on a normal PC display, but even in the web version it's a defininte huge loss of resolution. This is very weird. I'm using madsurfer's ROM, but I don't think it's ROM related.
Here's the video: https://goo.gl/photos/c17a5iofhPas73aP9 - first few seconds are out of focus, then you can see the problem.
Any advice?
OK, I have found a workaround for the video problem!
First - I have confirmed, there is definitely a problem with 1080p video recording with stock camera app. I'm not sure if it's ROM related or stock is the same, but it's definitely there. The quality is very very bad, pixelated and feels upscaled.
However when I have installed Cinema FV-5 app, the quality is great, no more pixelation, everything looks better, even crappy digital zoom is smoother. I have shot same video at the same time with stock app and FV-5, and there is a huge difference:
Stock camera app video - pixelated and jagged edges, huge artifacts, digital zoom shows big square artifacts. Check roof edges on top left, and a street lamp pole line.
Cinema Fv-5 video - everything is smooth, no jagged lines, digital zoom shows no squares or pixelation - just sharpness loss.
You have to open both videos on a PC in full screen and with 1080p HD quality to really see the difference.
So the problem is clearly with the stock app, or madsurfer's ROM version of that app or settings. I think another camera app such as FV-5 solves this issue. I liked the simplicity of stock app, but it's not usable at this moment.
Hi guys,
I am looking for a camera app with live filter function. I dont like it to edit the picture after I shot it.
Where are some good apps out there in the middle of millions. But either they are full of sticker bull*hit and totally overload with not needed stuff or they are clean and simple but they are shrinking image quality only to some megapixels. I liked Camera360, Candy Camera and Retrica a lot but image quality is kinda bad.
Do you guys have some good suggestions? Simple and clean app with good live filters and high image quality.
Thanks!
I was wondering if there is a camera app out there that allows one to take a picture and record video using all three lenses simultaneously. I'd like three individual video files saved: ultra wide, normal, and telephoto. I have looked around and this appears to be unique to the LG V40 (for photos not videos) but it creates a lame slideshow with transitions effects I dont want.
Thanks!
Dont think its possible, since video recording uses the CPU alot. And filming with 3 lenses would be pretty difficult for the cpu, maybe in low quality it would be possible...
