Where is the HDR Video feature in the new Software Update? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed the Latest XXUBMEA firmware via ODIN. The bugs are gone such as Purple Smearing issues and others. UI is now much smoother. But where is the HDR Video recording option? Tried turning on Rich Tone(HDR) and record video but it doesn't record HDR video. There is no option to turn it on either. Is the HDR Video Recording Capability is a rumor? Or is it true?

The HDR feature is in the camera settings, switch from the default snapshot mode
to the video mode then you can see the HDR option in one of the video setting.
Good luck!

There is no way to Switch from Snapshot mode to Video mode. Camera button captures the photo, Video button Records video. what are you talking about?

Change mode to HDR/RICH TONE then press the recording button.
In previous version the recording button got faded when switched to HDR/RICH TONE mode.

I'm pretty sure that change in the changelog was wrong.

my friend has the old XXMDK build, and you can still record while choosing rich tone mode, i dont think HDR mode is there on the MEA build unless it really is on when u press record, but i cant see the difference.

There is no HDR video feature.

Guys guys! There is no HDR feature. The mode is there but it doesn't work. It is however believed that Samsung needed more time to work in HDR mode so they decided to drop it and will present it in the upcoming updates (just a speculation). Hope this helps.

about the timestamp... isnt it somewhere in the camera app settings?
If you enable geotag it will timestamp your photos.

Remix2 - not sure what that link was you posted... doesn't work. Does it offer a solution to the pausing video recording issue?

I think there are some camera apps that can include time-stamp on the photos.
I don't remember there is any mobile phone out there that has the function of pausing a recording video and continue.

LgCamera As Default Camera [For MiniCM Too] * Solved *

I have found the best camera app for X8!
I use the latest MiniCM rom, and the stock camera app is not ok.
You are not able to shoot more pictures in row, because the black screen bug.
I used Vignette before, but lgCamera is a lightweight and fastest alternative.

There is the lgCamera app for Android: http://www.appbrain.com/app/lgcamera/rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
You can buy the lgCamera Pro as well: http://www.appbrain.com/app/lgcamerapro/rubberbigpepper.lgCameraPro
[Q] But there is no option to set it to default camera, and I can't start it by pressing hardware button. Is there any solution to do that?
[A] To set lgCamera as the default app for camera hw button, use Button Shortcut app from Market. More info about this app: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-socialnmobile-buttonshortcuts-qFB.aspx
[Q] Which audio and video configuration do you recommend for recording?
[A] I use these audio settings because the default audio quality is creapy: Audio source: Microphone. Audio encoder: ACC. Audio samplerate: 44100. Audio bitrate: 25600.
Video settings for pretty good quality and card space saving: Video resolution: 480 x 320. Video encoder: H.263. Video file format: 3GPP. Video bitrate: 2 Mbit. Video framerate: 25.
Cheers!
Nice replacement I think I'm gonna keep it
And just by the way, it's also available on market
thx a lot!!!i downloaded lg camera and it works well!!!But i found that there is option to set it to default camera. So i can start it by pressing hardware button
what different is between pro & usual version ? please

I have tried a lot without error. How has it happened?
And: yes, there is "default camera app" option inside of lgcamera app but it hasn't worked for me.
why do you said that about the video config? tell me why you dont use 640x480 as the resolution to record and why you use 25 fps when you can use 30, i am not atacking you, is just that you maybe know something about the camera that i dont , sorry about my english

To tell the truth, the most important things are the audio settings. Because the default sound quality is creapy. Video settings are up to you. I use 480 x 320 because of the card space. That is the optimal setting for me. And it has fairy good quality.

I noticed this issue first on saturday.
I restarted the cam app and it has worked.
This bug doesn't come up since then.
Anyway, to solve any kind of recording bugs try to place this file:
http://www.pashkovsky.com/x8/media_profiles.xml
to system/etc
Thanks for racht.
On a default 2.1 SE firmware:
Camera button is working for me by default if I want to open this app instead of the generic camera software. No freezes, fast as hell (now I can make 1-2 photos in less than a second ). Video recording works flawlessly, except when I tried to force the soft to make videos over the maximum resolution (640x480< ), because the phone has restarted itself, but it's ok, X8 can't make bigger resolutioned films as 640x480. By the way, the quality is really awesome, it's like an SD Handycam, not to mention that the sound is really-really good too (almost studio-quality)!
Thanks for this stuff!
Did anyone managed to get a better audio sync in the x8 running cm6 (Froyo) ROMs?? So far I get aprox 1 sec lag in audio when recording video.
thanks in advance.
EDIT: SOLVED, enjoy video sync!!! Use these settings to have audio sync in Froyobread!
oh its a must try application camera 360 is the best for me but no video capturing.

Honor 5x Camera Tips and Tricks

Honor 5x Camera Tips and Tricks
On the surface, the camera app on the Honor 5x might seem like a basic setup, but there are tons of settings, modes and filters to play around with to get the perfect shot. Check out these tips to get you started.
Video Resolution
While the 5x is capable of shooting at 1080p, by default it's set to 720p. To change this, swipe over to filming mode then press the menu button and go to settings. From there, you'll be able to bump the resolution up to 1080p.

}
Photo Settings
There's a lot of really important photo settings that you might have missed. They aren't accessible from your main screen, so you have to go through the settings. In the settings you'll find resolution, timer, object tracking, volume button function, image adjustment and a bunch of other features.
Ultra Snapshot
Enable Ultra Snapshot to let you launch your camera app by double pressing the volume down key. You can set this to launch your camera and also immediately take a snapshot.
Touch & Hold Shutter Button
The burst mode isn't really something I use very much. Luckily you are able to change the action that is tied to pressing and holding the shutter button. I have it set to focus instead.
If you have any other tips for using the camera, let me know in the comments. There are so many features that it can be easy to overlook some.

Camera API 2 J730

Hi, I would like to activate the Camera API2 on a Samsung j730. I understand that after activation it would be possible to shoot 4k and 1080 60fps.
For activation, build.prop should be edited, and I want to do this without rooting it or making a custom recovery. I understand it is possible through adb.
The problem is that after editing build.prop and replacing it with the old one I understand that it might be bootloop and I really do not want any other problems.
Is this change possible?
@H2ckerNorg
Tell me, what I must to change in build.prop to capture in 4K?

I read on the internet that you have to add "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled = 1" at build.prop or change it if there is already that line from 0 in 1.
And now camera 2 api is activated.
Can I brick my phone?
When I add this in build.prop?
10x
EDIT: I installed this, but I not see 4K in camera options.

No, no options to change fps.
Maybe another camera have.
I tested camera2 API on Camera Zoom FX Premium, but this app not have video maker, this app use another camera app to record video.
I have:
Google Cam
Snap Cam
Camera Zoom FX Premium
Vignette
OnePlus 5
Samsung Stock Camera
Open Cam
And only Open cam have options to change video resolution, all other record video on FHD.
Many camera apps are old and not have Camera2 API.

I'm sorry to hear that.
It is strange that I had a s4 before that could record 4 k and 1080 60 fps.I had a custom rom on it
All sensor of 13 mpx was on s4 as well as the one on j7.

Watched the video you linked and a few others without issues
I am assuming you have enabled hdr and super cinema mode in the display settings?
I have both enabled and the issue persists. Did you use official youtube app? It works fine form me in browser. Can you check whether video quality states HDR?
Looks fine on China ROM.
Edit: I don't have the black spots during playback. I'm surprised they just appeared on the screenshot itself. LOL.

I tried in the official YouTube app as last time I watched the footage threw the browser. Again the video played perfectly could fast forward rewind continually pause it and could not recrate the issue, quality Was definitely set to hdr.
As above though when I tried to take a screen shot to show it's working ok on mine, it recreates the same result your getting in the screenshot. But the video playback is no issue, i am also on the global ROM.
