4k Sound/Video at Concert - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

Click Settings - Quality - Original to view in 4k. Good luck getting the video to stream well. With the terrible lighting and getting bumped it looks better to me around 720p. The sound is not too bad.

I think it looks pretty good honestly. It's not the same quality SOOC so I may go view it on my real comp.

Its always interesting that they gave the GN3 the ability to record 4k but not watch its own videos in 4k on the device lol
Don't watch this video on your devices folk it won't be true 4k.

Even on the computer, which is not 4k res, you can see the "power" of 4k. It's pretty impressive. very immersive.

Video seems great for a cell phone. Did you have to do anything to get it to record at that quality?
Never-mind I found the answer.

Maybe they'll add 4k playback through a software update? I did very well adjusting to the lighting conditions in my opinion

It plays back 4k fine. The problem is the screen is only 1/4 the resolution. There is nothing that can be done when the screen is unable to display 75% of pixels that were recorded. There is no software update in the world that can fix that.

What surprises me is the quality of the sound... For a cell phone mic typically the sound isn't nearly that good. This phone is freaking awesome

Concert Recording Quality Part Deuce

I just found videos of the Motorola Atrix 4G recordings at various concerts, and I must say, I'm extremely impressed! It might even be better than the damn iPhone 4S! My question is, if the Atrix can record the audio so crisp and clear, even through loud bass, why can't the Galaxy S3? Some people have come to a conclusion that it's a software thing, and not a hardware issue. I also read that it may be a proprietary lib, whatever that means!
"Supercurio is trying to fix this but says it may not be possible to due to proprietary libs in use relating to audio recording."
Is there ANY way around it? Maybe someone can transfer the camera recording app the Atrix 4G has to the Galaxy S3?
Thanks!
I'm running CM9 right now... tomorrow I might record a test video and we can see how the audio compares. If its good for me then we can conclude that its software.

Recording in Slow Motion Looks really bad

I have seen a couple of videos on here where they were recorded in slow motion and those videos looked great, however, I have tried a few times and they always come out looking really bad. (grainy, and blurry). I have tried with all the settings left on auto and also setting things up manually as well (like white balance and ISO).
Is there settings that I am missing to make these videos look as good as they do while recording at normal speed?
Here is the link to the video I shot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjcqQhUIJq0
Also does the camera not record in HD while doing Slow Motion?
I can't help you on making it look better but it doesn't record in HD. The ending resolution ends up being 768 x 432.

It's probably the light. I think the only reason it goes to HD on the youtube video is because the beginning part might be in HD. I still see the grainy lines on the youtube video and in the slow motion videos I shoot.

I think it's HD on YouTube because the user had to edit it on the computer. (Add music) so I think he saved it in a way that YouTube thought it was HD.
I've noticed that I have to edit files in order for YouTube to have a HD option even though the phone records in HD and saves it as a .MP4.

There is a camera setting. If you touch the "A" you will see the option
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Yeah, the camera does not do HD for slow motion, due to the significantly higher data rates the camera must sustain to do slow motion. It's essentially recording at 120fps or so, which is four times the speed it would record at otherwise. To record in HD, it would require four times the bandwidth and processing power that it does at normal speed.
I've had this phone since it came out and never knew it has that setting.
What is "HDR"?

I think the slip and slide video was edited on a computer. Unless the EVO LTE can do the stop motion at the beginning of the video as well.

There are other phones using android that CAN do slow motion HD recording. I assume that this is a software limitation on HTC's part rather than a hardware limitation as the camera on this phone is quite impressive to say the least. Even with my limited knowledge of the inner workings of the android software I would venture to guess that this can at least be brought to 720p slow motion recording. However a speedier SD card may be needed. Man I wish I knew how to dig into Android, I want this camera to be BEAST!

Do you use the camera on your GP5.0?

Do you use your Galaxy Player 5.0's camera? What app do you use, or you use stock. Post some pics
Just wondering the quality, cuz my quality on is bad-decent. Just wondering if I could make it any better.
I rarely use it but I use the stock app. Quality wise it's good no complaints here's a back yard photo

I have the 4.0, not the 5.0.. But I always use the camera on it.
I usually use Pro Capture rather than the stock camera though.
I think the quality is pretty decent actually. Better than I expected it to be.
Kinda wish I had a flash like the 5.0, but whatever. lol
The quality is better than a family members 7-8 MP Kodak digicam, for sure. lol

Even when I was on Gingerbread, I never used the camera. It is inadequate and insufficient to get what I want out of a photograph. There is no "real" zoom on the lens and the megapixel count on the device is never going to produce any pictures of print quality.
Thus, for my photography needs, I go to a Nikon D7000 DSLR. In contrast, however, my wife uses Canon's Powershot Series camera, which is a very powerful, much cheaper alternative to a DSLR.

I love the camera on my player but I'm willing to not use it for the small time being because CM10 is coming out with a 3.xx kernel so the Camera will be working in no time.
I'm a bit reluctant to update to one of the ICS roms because I use the camera so often. Sure, it doesn't compare to a dedicated device but it's more than adequate image quality for sharing and/or even printing if you play around enough with the settings. Night shots are obviously pretty bad but can't say I expected much more from a tablet's camera.

Obviously one wouldn't use these cameras for professional photography, but to say it's "not even good enough to use" is ridiculous.

A lot of grain and noise on videos and pictures

I've had my note for about two months. I came from the one x. One thing i don't like about the note is the grain and noise on dark pictures and video. Guess its just due to the amolded screen. I know being under good light will fix the ones you take but anything I can do to sharpen the image on videos and pics I'm browsing?

Are you referring to recorded videos only? Make sure to change the setting for video to 1080p because I'm pretty sure it's set to 720p by default. Hope that helps.

I still think we are not going to see "great" night video/picture on any phone for a while yet. We could be two three years away from that imo.
The only way that will happen is if you get a big enough sensor that bulges out of the phone. Like in the case of Nokia builds.

The f2.4 lens can only get so much light. The low light video was sweet in my one, but that's an f2 lens.
The g2 has decent video, but not being able to lock focus and exposure is a really downer. The continuous autofocus kills the videos
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
Both video show a brightly lid night scene but blurry, probably the result of low shutter speed and wide open apertures. If there is some way for people to manually set the shutter speed and aperture or make it less aggressive while taking the video, I am sure everyone will be happy.
Trying lower the brightness setting while taking the of the video might help with higher shutter speed and better focus.
The video that shows the drive through Bangkok's road I am impressed by the stabilisation though. =)
