Stock Camera App Crops Video? Google Camera is wider widescreen. - Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed the following:
Take a 1080p video with the stock Moto camera app.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then take one with the Google Camera app.
(both taken with my phone sitting on my laptop on a mini tripod)
The Google Camera video is a wider wide-screen on mine, and I can't seem to find any setting that will make the Moto camera match it. Actually I've tried Open Camera too and it also crops like the Moto.
It looks like in the Google app, all it does is crop the 21 MP still image to 16:9 and records that at 1080p. But in the other apps, they crop out a bit from the middle too.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I generally prefer the Google Camera, except it won't record to SD card and it won't record longer than 4 GB so I've been shopping for a new app (Open Camera works well, but isn't as wide screen!)
edit: This is a Droid Turbo 2. Mine is still LP and my wife's is MM, and it does this on both.

If you look harder, moto have a "programm stability" of videos. Maybe moto camera cut video for stabilization.

Good call, that was it. When I disabled video stabilization in Open Camera, I got the same field of view as Google Camera.

Camera problems

Hi,
Been using various itje roms since i got my phone (but 8 months ago) I noticed after I put on the touch vista rom that my camera was taking awful pictures. I dont think it should be rom related, I just tried the touch 7 rom and it was the same. I prefer the vista one so ive gone back to that. Is it worth going back to an official release and trying ?
Ive gone through all the settings, its on 2MP shooting to sd card, on single shot mode (all modes including video have the same look) Ive checked all the settings i can think of. Whitebalance is auto. Effect is None. Quality is 2M (1600X1200) Fine.
Ill attach a picture to show you. I really hope it is software based and not the camera itself. Phone has been well looked after so it really should not be damaged. Externally it looks fine.

honestly i would try touch it 4 and see what happens
but when you say it takes horrible pics is it blurred like give us a discription
I included a picture which I thought was fairly self explanitory. The pics look like they have been posterised. The colors are separating distinctly, almost like its working with a limted colour set.
well it could be that the connection from the camera to the phone is a bit outta place but dont quote me lol
i work for motorola XD

less camera light

is there any possibility to reduce the camera light?
if i take pictures from faces, the flash uses his full power and messes up the picture. there is an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On my Sony Ericsson K800i the kamera did send out a light to get the focus and took the picture with the flash light...
anyone knows good settings to take pictures at darker places?
also the hd2 has a quiet bad image stabilization. did someone experienced something diffrent?
The TMoUS camera drivers fix the LED flash overexposure problem so all you have to do is find a cooked ROM which uses them.
I used to have a k800i too, the camera is far better than hd2 due to its xenon flash (better light management) and very short shutter time (reducing blur).
If as NeoGreendawg says the US rom has a fix then its only a matter of time till its fixed officially over here.
Right now i use a program called Torchbutton which turns the led's on. Then run camera app and set flash to disabled. The torch gives enough light but without the superbright flash that kills the pic.
Look on the sticky application thread in hd2 themes & apps for torch button.
As for image stabilisation i guess we just have to hold the thing damn still

Motorola XOOM
Notion Ink Adam
wow... The difference is crazy.
Edit: just watched the video... NI's video sucks, I wonder why it can't stay focused...
They should have stuck with a better camera resolution. nevertheless the darn clicking noise was unacceptable. And frame rate change was also a shock to me when I looked at the video info.

Thanks for posting this, inspiron41!
I am generally happy with my Adam Pixel Qi. I do have the same focus issues.
The problem when a company (NI) uses a cheap part (the camera) it really cheapens the entire product. NI probably saved a $1 or $2 dollars. Hard to see how Rohan could think this to be bleeding edge technology and living his "dream" when you cut corners needlessly.
Wow thats bad....wth is that clicking noise.....If there is a way to fix this, I will, even if I have to open the damn thing and replace the motor or the camera....is that clicking noise present during recording only or during recording and playback?

[Q] Camera image does not fit screen / black bars

Problem shown in the picture url's below (I haven't hit the 10 post limit so sorry for the inconvenience with the "(dot)" stuff)

As you can see the image my camera is taking and filming does not fit my whole screen in the camera app, no matter the resolution I set the image to be captured at. I believe it is connected to the camera app it's self as I don't have this problem with pictures and video taken through Snapchat. The ROM I'm currently using is CloudyFlex 1.4 which is listed as having a "Flex ported camera", I've also tried switching from that and flashing Jinshu's camera mod version V2.5.6 EXPT_4 and the problem persisted. Any ideas?

Some people using Aeonflex were having the same issue. They resolved it by using the "App Settings" module in Xposed and changing camera DPI to 479 or 481.
It worked. Thanks a ton for the help.

Xperia Z5 Camera - as Advertise

Hi Z5 Users! Just curious how we can get a good shot with moving objects?.... or anyone can show how to do it in a proper way?.... As I'm wondering how Sony did the following shots in their website? As I myself is always ending up with either focus center and blurry shots outside the focal point of the picture, or mostly with blur edges or noisy pic, do we have to always use a tripod to get a good moving shot? (especially for me with shaky hands lol).

I don't believe they shoot those pics with a phone, didn't believe it as soon as the pics came online.

Use sports mode. In Scenes
Or Manual with low ISO and lowered Exposition im good light.
In a more difficult light with a slightly higher ISO which pushes faster shutter speeds. And lowered Exposition.
