Blurry video recording

I have noticed a problem with the video recording on my HD2 as of lately. When I get ready to record a video the image on the screen is sharp. As soon as I hit the record button the image goes out of focus and is no longer sharp. As soon as I stop recording the image on the screen is sharp again. I don't remember it doing this when I first got the phone. I'm not sure if I changed something in the registry to cause this problem or not. Has anyone else heard of this happening or know of a way to fix it? I searched, but it does not look like others have posted this issue before.
Thanks
P.S. Here are my video settings as of now.
Resolution VGA (640x480)
Review Duration: No Review
Capture Format: MPEG4
Sharpness +5

Sounds like the auto focus is some how messing up. Could be something on the lens that is making out of focus or something. Not sure what else would cause that. If you are running a cooked rom maybe try reflashing it.

The lens is clean and the camera focus is fine in camera mode. It will also focus fine in video mode until the second I hit the record button. The focus issue only occurs when I hit record to capture a video.

Am I really the only person with this problem?

I also have this problem but with the normal HD2, the camera for pictures works fine. The problem occurs when recording video, first its all clear..hit record...blurry...im not sure what to do :O

Glad to know I'm not alone in this problem. I tried to record a quick clip today at work, and the camera was actually able to stay in focus when I hit the record button. Here is the sample clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB70tTDl1t0
This is the best quality I have been able to get out of it. I'm going to keep messing with it to see if anything changes.

[Q] Camcoder issues

Ok there have been other issues with it, but I want to talk about the focus issue.
I tried couple of roms with the same camera and the camera focuses just fine before the shot is taken , but once you focus the lenses with the camera the camcoder stays with this focus whether you are focusing(pointing to an object) far or close to you. Is this a problem with the apk or is it the drivers? I havent tried the Desire HD camera because it is different (atleast the looks). Can anyone confirm if the Desire HD roms have this issue?

Strange, you are the second Bulgarian to report a camcoder issue today... I actually have no issues with cam, just took a few pictures and all is ok.
See signiture for Rom

Auto focus is more intended for still shots... Canon makes a dslr camera that has a video auto focus feature, and it dont work all that well. Reasoning is auto focus is meant to clarify a shot, a single still shot, it can help in a video but very hard because of constant motion, especially when zooming in digitally.

I have not installed any recovery and to use xcam I need to make a backup nandriod.
I tried 2 other devices and have the same problem.
Are there other alternatives to xcam?

no matter how many cam mods you installs this problem still exists for G2, no solution yet

Meizu MX4 video recording continuous AF not working

Stock camera of all version of FlymeOS, on video mode, it only autofocus once, at the beginning of video recording. Continuous AF is not working, the only way to focus is tap to focus. Is there any tweak or hack to enable continuous video AF using stock camera?
Other camera apps like Google Camera, continuous focus works like a charm on video mode so this problem is related to the stock camera I guess. there are several benefits of using the stock camera like 4k recording and slow-mo, but the lack of continuous AF in video recording is killing me.
Someone know how to solve this problem?

I guess it has something to do with 4k video recording, ince it doesnt work with other app, it must be a proprietary software issue. You can tap to focus, and in real life this actually works out better than continuous autofocus because you dont get that weird effect of the device focusing when you dont want it to. It would be nice to have the option to change it though. Meizu will never learn.

Strange Camera noises

When I open Camera and chage between Photo and Portrait or Night mode, I hear some noise, something like cracks,or similar sound like old photo camera fokus their lenses , I didn't hear that before. Is that normal? I only hear camera noise when I zoom or use ro shooting stars, now I hear when I change to every mode. I restart phone but its the same.

Its normal. Mine did that too. Its because the camera autofocus mechanism snapped out. You can make the same noise by adjusting focus from 0 to 100 very quickly.

As far as I know, people aren't complaining a single thing about the camera.
But first. Have you tried updating your phone?. If you have updated MIUI but the problem still exist, I recommend to do factory reset if you don't mind. However, I can't guarantee this will fix your problem. If the problem still persist, you can claim the warranty so you can get a replacement unit, as your current unit might be faulty.

Happens to me as well.
I just bought mine and I thought it was damaged or something, because I'm facing the dame soundtrack with mine, but I guess is not the case.
