I'm just wondering is there a way to make the xperia play record 720p? I know in the past people have done it with the nexus one. Also the arc and neo both records hd 720p, anyway to take that and implant into the xperia play?
I think SonyEricsson will let it be able to record 720p into the next update
Same how happened to the X10
but play doesn't even have the ability of changing focus.......
I don't think SE will enhance any camera ability of play......
It may reduce the sale of Arc or Neo..........
Same goes for the Bravia Engine, almost the same.
It’s absolutely inacceptable not to assemble it.
Is there any news on this?
good, I had all the current high-end and none, I repeat none overshadows in terms of video recording at the Sony Z2 ... In 1080p 60 fps is amazing quality ... At 4k I have not tested because neither my tv or pc that can play ... But i can say, the Z2 is the most sharpness and has better video stabilizer away. a hug[emoji1]
indeed the video recording quality of the Z2's amazing! too bad the audio quality of recordings aren't as good
I found that AM7 is using imx214,it supports 4K video recording in 30fps, the SoC also supports 4K
Although 4K recording is not necessary, but it can give us a better experience.
I hope that Huawei can support 4K recording in the later update.
Yep I noticed that to, maybe with some modifications software wise it could be possible

Would count on that from some third party provider/software, definitely not on HUAWEI.
Yes,we are all waiting for the third party rom, hope they can provide 4K recording.
Also, hope that Huawei can release update for L09 and unlock bootloader faster cuz we want a better experience in some third party rom.

Is it hard to develope 4k to Mate 7 via a rom?k
Also why arent there any roms to this phone? Alot of people have bought it, but no roms. Why?
4K would be awesome.. but if you dont have 4K TV it is useless ...

Nope it isnt even if you have an 1080p tv/monitor a 4k file is less compressed with makes it look better

One ohter reason is for the future, it is very nice to look ten years later video recorded in 4k then 1080p on the tv with the resolution we are going to have then.

well i had to turn 4k off on youtube bcos what is saw on object edges just grain noise .. i could see micro dots moving distorting image totally ..
Why is it that no one has reported that the 4k resolution on the Z5 premium is only 4k when playing or filming 4k video. At all other times i.e 99% of the time, the device has normal resolution. I think its misleading by Sony regarding the way they have advertised the product. If I buy a 4k phone as Sony has described the Z5 premium, I am more interested in my home screen, normal apps and text messages etc being 4k resolution rather that the ability to film 4k video. Its not that I need such resolution for these but merely the principle.
So you'd rather have a battery that will last you for half the day? Because there's no way around it that the Premium is the first 4K phone, and Sony really played it smart where it won't be a flop by adding smart software that enables 4K when it's needed.
No I'd rather Sony did not push the Z5 as a 4k phone when it isn't. I would have bought it for the screen size alone. The BS about it being a native 4k screen is poor customer service. If battery will be an issue they should have put a bigger battery in. it's thick enough.
What I am also puzzled about are all these journalists with their previews and hands on reviews stating how the screen is great or that they can't tell the difference from a normal phone. Did these chumps not know that's because it isn't a 4k screen most of the time.
They did put 4k resolution hardware they just did not used due to fact that it is little difference or make no difference on 2k. Their might be possible to to change resolution if you root and develop ui.

That's really no different than a 4k TV.
Unless you're watching specific 4k content on your TV, you are looking at 1080p/720p resolution. User interfaces on 4k TVs generally aren't 4k because there is no point. That dosen't make the screen NOT 4k, or the Z5P's screen NOT 4k. It's just that you have to be watching 4k content to actually see it at the proper resolution. That's how all 4k devices are, and they are all advertised as 4k, and rightfully so.
I mean I don't know what you expect... you want the browser/texting to be 4k? What's the point of UHD aside from watching videos? None of the websites you visit will be in 4k aside from when you're watching videos. Sony did the right thing here in utilizing the 4k screen for videos/pictures. There would be no point in having a 4k home screen since it would just drain a ton of battery
Are the journalists reading this site or is it a coincidence that articles about the lack of 4k on the Z5 premium now start to roll out a few days after my post. Am surprised this was not reported on day 1.
interesting

Your point is absolutely no-point. The phone is 4K phone because it has native 4K display. That the UI (applications etc.) are not native 4K is just because there is absolutely no point rendering user interface at 4K. The point is that th phone is capable of natively displaying 4K content. User Interface is not 4K content and there is a good reason behind it.
How about this article? Does it help?

My point is that 4k TV/video is not here yet. There is no content. So the 4k video feature is pointless. I don't give a monkeys about the ability to record or view 4k video.
However what a 4k screen provides is better overall picture quality. Whilst the improved ppi will not be noticeable, 4k produces better colours and brightness. This is the feature of the 4k screen that I would be interested in. At the end of the day the Z5 premium is no better than my current Z3. It definitely looks uglier than the Z3.
Funny thing is, Nobody ever complained when their phone's CPU are running on 600mhz on idle when the spec sheet is 2.3Ghz. smh

You want the phone to run at 2.3GHz when it's idle. Why?
Seems you don't get my /s implicitly there.. :/ the 4K situation looks a lot like CPU speed. It can be pushed to max but it doesn't have to be activated all the time. But here we are, people are complaining for such reserve as a drawback.

Because the OP wants 4k to run all the time.... He isn't thinking the clever mind who thought of 4k for videos and pictures only.....
I suppose he also wants the CPU to run at 2.1ghz all the time ... And the ram.... It's stated 4gig but available would be around 3.8gig.... Let's crib for that as well

Uhh what? There absolutely is 4k content. In fact, I'm watching Breaking Bad in 4k on Netflix as we speak. Lots of major streaming services are getting 4k content and there is more and more every day.
Are you upset that TV manufacturers are advertising TV's as 4K even though most content watched will currently be 1080p/720p? The TV UI's are generally not 4K. How is that different?
And just like TV's, Sony has claimed that the phone will upscale 1080p content, so it should produce better color and brightness, although who knows how noticeable it will be w/ such a small screen?
We always can see whether the panel is 4K by playing a 4K video from youtube. Like it should give the option to switch between the qualities, Am I not right?

Read this, son. It will play 4K and will UPSCALE image/video content to 4K, along with the other image/video enhancements. That's the focus of the phone, a "premium" viewing experience. The UI will remain 1080p to preserve battery life, because who the hell cares about the image quality of the freakin' UI? Same goes for apps and games, unless (maybe) the game actually comes with 4K resolution, which I doubt there are for now when consoles still struggle with 1080p.
It indeed 4K panel. only uses for Media and stuff.

Hello,
When I record 4K video with my Z5P, I get heat warning at around 2 minutes mark and camera app closes around 3 minutes. Anybody else experiencing the same problem? Other than this, my Z5P and its camera work absolutely fine. Btw, my firmware is still 32.0.A.6.170, still haven't received an update.
Hello, I have the same problem.
What I discovered is that when shooting in 4K or 1080p 60fps temperature protection is triggered. 30fps 1080p there is no problem.
I just tested recording 1080p 60fps. It too overheated and closed at around 2~3 minutes. 30fps is working fine. I think this is software issue. Maybe it is worth trying the repair via pc companion but I don't want to wipe my phone now. Some are reporting that 32.0.A.6.200 is fixing numerous problems. I guess I'll wait for it and see what happens.

same for me.
60 fps stops at 3 mins,
for 30fps 1080, first 35 mins, 2nd 30 mins. tried that already during our christmas party, when a certain band was performing.
No access to this page?
Edit :
Ok now working
Did a quick test before I head off - of 1080p 60fps with steadyshot on standard
Got to 10 mins with no heat warning.
Room temperature 20c to 22c
I'll do a better comparison in future of all video modes
Edit once more: video duration is 10.14
File size is 2.2gb
I tried 4K with Steadshot for around 30mins, and I found that 45ºC will force stop the camera
The z series has always had this, so do the Samsung phones.
They are thin sealed units its not a fault
U boys have some wierd .. Phones idk on youtube a guy filmed 1hour 4k on z5p
---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------
I tried and i stopped it on 6 mins because i didt have time not any warning for me
---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
Well i cant say anything really cus im on a custom rom wich has alot of improvements... Havr you updated your fw? The new updte (62mb) has some overheating stopping things. edit; you havent got a update yet???? Thats wierd i had it ready when i bought z5p and just updated it on the same day. But now im on the rom so yeah..
I just tested with my z5p.
I stopped at 25 min, but i never got any warnings.
Room temp is 23,5 celcius and my phone was charging the entire time, which also would increase temp.
@xirt0n
Did you check 60 fps or 4k and if steadyshot on or not etc etc
The first test I did was standard 4k video, with steadyshot off and filetype h.264
Later on I tested with file type h.264 and h.265 and also with steadyshot at the only option it gave me which was standard or off, and i went with standard. All was done with 4k video. I dont actually know where i can find 30 or 60 fps. I am using RomAur btw.
See image to see my few options while in 4k mode. The entire camera app looked different before i flashed RomAur which is .170 and i went from official. 200.
(turns out i cant post links yet!)
