Working 4k videorecording on xa1 [no root] - Sony Xperia XA1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello Guys,
i finally managed to get 4k videorecording working on my XA1. The only thing you need is an app called "Proshot" (yes, it costs a bit of money but please buy it instead of downloading the apk to support the developer) In the videosettings from Proshot you can change the videoresulution to 4k and its working.
The videos are even tagged with "4K" in the gallery.
If you have any questions feel free to write them in the comments!

I know, but filming with Proshot is a bit smoother because you have 30 FPS instead of 24 FPS

Video Recording?

Hi Guys,
I am guessing the HD2 doesn't come with video recording (strange for a top smartphone as this) but is there any chance of a software solution coming in the future that might support this feature?
cheers,

Why do you guess this....Are you talking about 3g video calls, then no..
I`m sure you`ll be able to take videos though...
aren't there videos taken with HD2 floating around in youtube?
Yes there are. And yes, HD2 has video recording. The "guesses" come from the official spec sheet where video recording isn't mentioned I think.
seriously, there's a thread on the front page about video playback...

I think you're confused by the Iphone - until recently it didn't support video recording - as far as I know, winmo has always had that when a camera is installed?
but just to set this straight, what do you mean with video recording?
start the camera and record a video and save to memory card or something else?

Because almost every phones (except apple) imaginable in the last 5 years have had video recording? A cheap $25 samsung slider has video recording, so what makes you think a high-end $800-900 phone doesnt come with one? That's like asking if a new Ferrari 458 will be expensive...

Not to sound like a troll, but as a genuine comment knowing people who had the iPhone as their first "proper" smartphone, they've been genuinely surprised that pretty much every other camera-containing smartphone ever made has video recording and mms (copy and paste/multitasking/etc less so).
Just wanted to say that some people have to cut the attitude, I was only asking a question! and the reason I thought it didn't come with video recording is because a preview said as much and I thought it was strange. This will be my first smartphone so give me a break!

No, there aren't. It's only one video and looks very bad. I guess the camera is craptastic
There is one video sample here. It's not as bad as some, but it's no dedicated video camera.

Testers on Z2 needed for 4k bitrate mod

Hey guys,
I require some testers for my 4K UHD 80 Mbps mod for Xperia Z1, if you would like to test it for me, please visit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ultra-hd-increase-bitrate-to-80-mbps-t2845265
If I can confirm that it works on Xperia Z2, ill move the thread to OEM cross-development section.
Thanks,

im using this MOD on my Z1, glad to see this here. ill test it once i get home and will report if it works.
just installed on my Z2. outdoor videos are better now. indoor its almost the same (little noisy). But 1min video is too big (700-800mb). 40mbits would be great (not so big files and great quality). can you realize this?

yeah, selective bitrate would be awesome
Confirmed that its working but "THAT SIZE" maybe you could lower it down a bit? it eats a lot of space, i only have 32gig sd card.
[email protected] and [email protected] would be great. 4k with to high framerate needs just too much space.
And what´s about 1080p30fps? can you increase the bitrate too?
Steady shot in 4k is gone if this mod is flashed on z2
Tested out you mod but upon opening the camera app it just returns "Camera not available"
I flashed it and cleaned cache/dalvik but it didn't want to work and I know the phone wasn't overheated(17 C)
Can one of you guys upload your stock SuperVideoCamera.apk from system/priv-app for me so I can mod it?

Could you please integrate this on Xposed Framework somehow? So we can install this as a module on there? Like 20MP Superior Auto mod.

I just said in my previous post, I don't know how to make one
So we just had to flash your mod, and after that, report if it's working or not ?
I'll make a report asap, firt, i've got to make a backup of course
But if it's working, it's going to be great for my new UHD TV
Thanks and keep it up !
Whats the difference from the other orginial version because the bitrate on my 80mbit/s videos was 79.7mbit/S so pretty much 80mbit/s
Just flashed it on my phone and record a video, everything's working great and the bitrate is indeed, 80mbits/sec
For information, i record 30 sec and my video is 281mb. I thought that it would be higher so that's perfect for me ! -)
I was wondering if you can make a higher bitrate as well for the 1080p and 720p mode ?
Cause the 1080p bitrate is only 30mbts... Which i found a bit low compare to the 4K recording and it's 80mbts (i mean, after i flash your mod)
Thanks again and good job anyway!

Yes.. U can have a look at some comparisons between current camera and the raw camera app
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Unle...ence-between-lossless-raw-DNG-vs-JPEG_id61956
+ on the github there's notes for a "to-do" list of sorts. The list includes seeing if 4k video recording can be achieved. Same with 60fps video recording. Also a port for the n7 as it doesn't work on that yet, even with lollipop.
Very cool! Thank you!
Yay!

4k was not possible, but now it can record videos at max resolution of 3264x2448 at 30fps with manual focus and manual exposure.
4k is not possible because the sensor does 8mp max which is 3264 x 2448, whereas 4k is 3840 x 2160. So, we are short by 0.3mp. But still it's very good.
The app is regularly updated and everybody interested should have a look at
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera
The apk can be downloaded from there.
And a detailed readme of what's on offer is also available.
Okay guys good news, camera got updated and now can shoot 4k

3264 x 2448 is not 4k, and im only seeing 24fps for some reason.
Now i'm gonna buy new lenses for my n5 like wideangle and macro !!

XCam by xdabbeb (originally for G3 works for the Stylo)

Hi everyone.
Thanks to an user from Android forums find out that this particular app works nicely with our LG Stylo , i have notice pictures are better than the Native cam app installed on this device.
You can download the LOLLIPOP ..APK from this Thread and thank you @xdabbeb for this amazing camera software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/app-xcam-lg-v5-1-0-t2873604
You guys can give it a shot and tell us here what you thing about it if is Better than the native lg cam app or non at all.
some LOW-light and Night Picture test using XCam
Thanks you for posting this. I love the phone, but I really hate the camera. This app makes the pictures come out so much more clear.
Edit:
I just noticed the front camera only goes to 2m. I thought It was supposed to be a 5m camera?
have you tried to see if the phone can record on the 1080p 60 fps option

LoL sorry ihad the front camera instead and 1080p 60fps which is slow-motion isn't available LoL, yeah i just did a recorded test using 1080p 60fps (Slow-Motion) and records pretty well, i really don't recommend record video using 60fps unless you are playing to playback at slower rate (24fps or 30fps) for a slow motion effect.

Huh. I'm embarrassed to say I never realized that because it seemed fast to me, but I never really played back any videos I took on this device in full.
Maybe rooting and adding the Google HDR+ camera or Camera2 api will let you do so, but IDK. I know for sure that the IMX298 is capable of taking 60fps video since other phones with the same sensor can do so. But I don't know how to get it working.
