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

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...
My S3 seems to have no adjustability for video playback brightness. I recorded a few videos and during playback there is no options to adjust playback quality. When the video starts it is bright then goes dim but if you transfer it to the home screen (small pip window) it will re-brighten before moving to homescreen. Am I missing something?

Same problem here, anyone?
While video is playing. Menu. Settings. You'll see the video brightness option.
Got it!
I figured it out, the settings are there but only before rotating the phone to widescreen. Thanks!
Hi,
I also have a Samsung K-Zoom SM-C115 and wanted to know, what is the best Videocamera app where I
can adjust the brightness or contrast in the 1920x1080 video recording modes ?
As the normal camera app has 1080p 30 Hz and 1080p60Hz mode,
I tried to see, how I can optimize these modes., so I can also record in low light conditions
with it, like at a concert or outdoor in the evenings..
Although in picture mode you have a nightshot mode, these are not available in the video modes and
you can not control the video brightness..
So is there any solution for this in maybe a Lollipop ROM version or do you know a videocamera app that
fixes this ?
I have already tried the Apps "A better Camera" and "CameraMX" but both have also problems...
They are able to do realtime video processing during recording so you can brighthen up the
video during recording, but somehow the zoom is then not really working and other bugs...
So is there any other real good solution to this ? Any videocam app that is better than these ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Or is there a Lollipop Android 5.x Rom already out that fixes these camera problems ? Many thanks.
Take a look at Cinema FV-5 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.pro
It has manual controls, and volume rocker can be configured for zoom.
Personally I find the stock app full-auto "good enough" for most of my casual videography.
What I mean is ... let's say I am using Skype for a video call. At the moment of connecting to the camera, what is the way it does this? What code is used? What part of the camera is accessed? When I open the camera app of the device, and trigger between photo/video - I get 2 absolutely different images of the preview ( the viewfinder ). The photo preview is on a low fps, if there is enough light, if I reduce the brighness, the preview fps gets smoother.
But when I swicth to video , I get a very clear image, with a high fps, little noisy and clear. Though, the preview of the photo camera is blury ( noise reducted ) and low on frame rate.
So, the calls in Skype has the exactly same image type like the photo preview, blury and fps low.
Is there any way to drive Skype using the camera type of the video viewfinder? It is a very huge difference in quality, and it is very weird, video calling apps use the worst part of the camera, when there's actually obvious the sensor is a high end one, showing it actually can offer a good quality of the image ( while in video mode ).
Please help, I want to try to develope something related to this. How does an app choose how to use phone's camera?
I want to ask something about some different video recording situations
What is best video recording options for wide angle video output (quality, stabilisation fps etc...)
What is best video recording options for normal angle video output (quality, stabilisation fps etc...)
What is best video recording options for X3 zoom video output (quality, stabilisation fps etc...)
I see not so many video options but you know what I mean, it's resolution.
Resolution changes the field of view output of video.
What are your settings and why are you using that for different situations.
Shine my dark road with your light of wisdom
I use :
- 1080p 30fps : when I film in a regular way such as filming landscapes, or filming things I don't intend to put an emphasis on
- 1080 60fps : I use this more when I have "living" subject on my frame, such as filming my friends laughing or doing whatever they are up to. The idea is to be able to apply a little slow motion in post to emphasize some moments.
- 120fps : that option is on the slo-mo options. I only use that feature in great lighting and if I intend to create a more dramatic look to the moving subject I wish to apply a slow mo on. But I rarely use that feature since I don't have much opportunity to capture fast moving subject.
I recommend using the Pro mode for video since you can control the focus. (Manual focus, autofocus, focus lock)
Your camera settings depends on what you want to shoot. You will have to play around with all of them and well switch from a mode to another depending on the situation.
30fps provide better image quality
60fps is smoother but somehow less sharp in some situation
120fps don't use it if you don't have enough light otherwise you'll end up with a blurry not sharp not good looking slo-mo.
There are 3rd app such as FilmicPro that gives you more freedom with the camera settings. But I don't use them since I haven't found one that take advantage of the 3 lenses that comes with the Mate 20 Pro. So now I deal with the stock camera in Pro mode.
Hope it helps
This helps a lot. Thanks for posting details.
