I don't have this issue!
the thing is capture image when recording video is 8MP (if i m correct)
u can repair ur firmware by PC companion
(for example i had issue with info eye not solved even by factory reset but repairing the firmware solved it)
:good:

Auto 16 by 9: 8mp
4 by 3: 5mp
Auto recording: 1080p
Snap during rec: 2mp
Note to OP: its harder to capture enough light to fill a image canvas when its 3860 by 2660 pixels vs 1920 by 1080
It should apear darker in higher resolutions or higher framerates, this is normal

[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...

Low fps in the photo camera preview, high fps in the video camera preview!

Ok, I wrote also in other threads but haven't been asnwered at all. I have a Snapdragon 435 device from Xiaomi and a high end sensor of the front camera! An OV5675 Omnivision 5 mpx. My problem is devided into two parts. The main part is that I can take extremely high quality pictures with Google Camera, even if the preview image is a very bad one even with camera2api activated, blury and low on framerate ( abou10-12 if high brighness and smoother if I lower the lights of the sensor when simply opening the camera app and not taking pics ) . When it comes to make a video call, in any app like Duo, Whatsapp etc .... The quality of the preview AND of the call is awful! It is vey blury and low fps, just like in the cheap stock camera viewfinder ( preview mode) . I want to understand, is this limited by the software or it is because the hardware is low end?
I will tell you why I am so concerned of this question - When I open the camera app and switch to the video, I get a very cool FPS on the preview ( not when recording, just the preview viewfinder ) and the image is very clear, not blury. When I switch back to the photo camera, the fps of the preview goes down and the image becomes blury and awful ( even in the Google Camera, even in the stock camera) but when I take a picture in any of these, I get clear images in both.
So! Let's go to the point - The quality of the video call in any of the apps, is the same as in the camera preview mode of the photo mode ( in the viewfinder ). How do I comunicate to these 3rd party apps to use the camera mode/ sensor of the video preview mode? How to make the image durinng a video call be clear and not blury like in the photo preview state? The app code should be edited or the rom?

1080p 60fps issue

So tonight I noticed in video mode at 1080p 60fps there is a bit of an issue. The video is clear at 1.0x regular zoom but once you switch to wide angle at 0.6x the video is all blurry and not very focused. Once you go back to 1.0x it's better again. Any other resolution wide angle is fine. Just the 60fps I notice this. Anyone else?

As far as I have noticed, the wide angle lens displays the same issue in video mode no matter what video mode you choose.
In addition, if you shake abruptly the phone while taking video on any video mode, apart from the 1080p 60fps at 1.0x, video gets unreasonably blurry and jittery.
When recording at 1080p 60fps the video is quite zoomed in, or is it just me?
Am yes, it's blurry with the wide lens. Video does seem to be anything but good on this phone.
I don't know about that exact issue, but the 'jelly effect' is absolutely horrifying on video I have casually taken. I am stuck on .146 though, supposedly there were various camera improvements with .187+?

EIS @4k Video Recording

Is there any mod to enable it force it. Or does xiaomi have any plans bringing it via updates?
you can use open camera to get 4k in front camera , always you can active EIS 4k in back camera

Eis is not working at the back whether you switch it on or not @4k

you can compare open camera when you switch on/off EIS in 4K , i think EIS in 4K work but not too smooth. you can handle your phone to stabilitation with EIS ON in 4K to take a video. goodluck ^_^
4K in front camera with OPEN CAMERA ,its perfect you must set fps 25/30, and framerate :200 mb, EIS off, and don't shot in lowlight thats very noisy
if you have root and use camera API ,you got 4K with EIS ,it look better than before. but crash to front camera..
im sorry for my english
I've got another question. Is there a way to make gcam able to record 4k video?
gcam only focus on photos , not video .. but you can get 4k by gcam oldes apk its have default setting and you can adjust by yourself

Fix Video Stabilization and Shakyness on Main Camera?

How to fix video stabilization on note 10 lite. With a normal settings of 1080 with 30fps I get shaky videos (if I mount the mobile in car or try to walk fast on uneven roads). The problem is fixed if I use Ultrawide lense but the issue with that is very poor quality as it is only 8mp cam.
Videos come out as it is wobbling, does anyone have any solution to that?
I have used gcam app using gcamtor but that doesnt work at all
