Weird I can switch 20 times between camcorder and camera and there's no problem.

I also made some picture and video for test, no problem.

The stock camera is still functioning as well.

But if the app freezes the stock camera shows a black screen as well and also stucks.

It's necessary to reboot again.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
BTW.

If you want increase FPS than set Scene-mode to Action or Sport.

It will increase FPS(by increasing shutter speed) but picture will be darker for low light-conditions scenes.
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
Thank you, I've just tested with 'Scene-Mode Action' on the camcorder with max frame rate 30 enabled,

results in a recorded video with frame rate 28 woehoe !!! :D

All other settings to maximum:

Scene mode: action

* Video resolution 1920x1088

* Video encoder MPEG4

* Video file format MPEG4

* Video bitrate 100Mbit

* Video framerate 30

Video stabilization enabled

Auto rotate video enabled
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
H.264 encoder is the best (for video quality and FPS), but if phone supports it (all new phones supports)

About video bitrate and SD class minimal:

100 Mbits = 100/8 =12.5MBytes => 13 (or I think 16 class) minimal

80 Mbits=10MBytes => 10 class (I think 75 Mbit max for 10 class)

60 Mbit => 8 Class

40 Mbit => 6 Class

30 Mbit => 4 class

15 Mbit => 2 class
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
H.264 makes my screen hang, not the whole app freezes but it hangs during recording.

Even after a fresh reboot.

It's continue, I can't record with H.264 encoding. (100Mbit)

Edit, update:If I lower the bitrate to 50Mbit, it does record again.

Edit, update 2: 60Mbit is max, 75 and 100Mbit hang with H.264 encoding enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] simmer14:
100mbit ? are u insane ? bluray discs video does not have that much video bitrate..
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
I have enabled these setting in the camera app and recorded like that on my HTC One X.

Why don't you try yourself? It's stable, I've tried multiple recordings.

Update:

I just did another recording:

This is what it's saying.

mp4, 23 seconds

size 74,7mb,

1280x720

speed 26892kbps

total bit process 26991kbps

framespeed 28 frames p/s

And I'm not insane, I'm just testing and writing down what I enable and see.

Cool to know my One X is having a higher bitrate as bluray disk :D
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Another words about videobitrate.

There are many bitrates in lgCamera settings. But supporting depends on phone capabilites.

I know only one phone, that can record with 75 mbit, it is SGS2 + lates ICS ROM.

HTC One X is limited 25-30 mbit only.

And quality increases slowly than bitrate, I think bitrates 20 mbit and 40 mbit has same quality.
[Android Apps and Games] Noobonic:
I love this app, so gonna test this version. I have an X10 Mini Pro, still using v5.95. It's the only version that the camcorder works the way it should, I can't even take pictures in that version (Just hangs after I take the picture, doesn't even save it).

From version 6.1 up, touch to focus doesn't work as it should, as it locks focus when recording starts, so I lose the continuous auto focus function. If I use the hardware camera button, the same happens. When I use the onscreen record button, it works great, but if I accidentally touch the screen while recording I lose auto focus capabilities again. Hope this version gets it right.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Ok, did some quick testing. Approached it as how I would for day to day use. Here are the things I've noticed.

1. After 1st install, changes in settings wont take effect until you restart the app

2. Switching between camera and camcorder works fine, no problems

3. Taking pictures, changing scenes, resolutions, flash work fine. Pictures also save

4. Video playback of videos works again (Did not work for me in 6.3)

5. Hardware camera button still doesn't work for videos (Locks focus, so continuous auto focus doesn't function). This worked fine in 5.95.

6. Hardware camera button for pictures works fine

7. Using onscreen buttons for camera and camcorder works fine. All functions work as they should.

8. Touch to focus works for camera.

9. Touch to focus during recording is gone. If the screen is touched before recording, it focuses but locks focus during recording, so no continuous focus in recording. Worked fine in 5.95

10. Preview while recording videos is a bit laggy, but playback of the videos is smooth

Using X10 Mini Pro with MiniCM7.

Settings:

Video-

semc-continuous 640x480, 30fps h264 MPEG @ 8mbit/s 4800KHz @ 160kbps AAC.

Photo-

5MP Resolution @ 100% quality

All other settings are at default values.

Hope this helped.
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
I've recorded many videos today with the same settings I mentioned this morning.

Not even once the camera app freezed on me. :)

Scene mode: action

* Video resolution 1920x1080

* Video encoder MPEG4

* Video file format MPEG4

* Video bitrate 100Mbit

* Video framerate 30

Video stabilization enabled

Auto rotate video enabled

>> HERE's a sample video (56,19 mb) I've recorded with lgCamera and uploaded.

It's a very beautifull Dutch windmill, the old windmill is still in working state and the blades are realy turning on the wind so you can see if the framerate is high enough! ;)

The windmill stands in the centre of Amsterdam near where I live.

I wanted to film my wooden shoes as well and the chees I eat but that's getting to personal. :D;)

An this is a sample picture of the video:
[Android Apps and Games] fredy915:

[Android Apps and Games] JohnLips:
Installed on my LG Marquee (Sprint) pictures saved are only green, its just a solid green picture. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But it doesn't work for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Laurentius26:
Ok thanks for the info,

So these are the best settings I think for maximum resolution, minimum compression and highest framerate?

Scene mode: Action (important!)

* Video resolution 1920x1080

* Video encoder H.264

* Video file format MPEG4

* Video bitrate 60Mbit (maximum possible according to my testing this morning)

* Video framerate 30 (lgCamera can film with 28 frames on my HTC One X)

Also video stabilization and autorotate I've enabled.

Untill now I've recorded with Mpeg4 for encoder and file format.

I will try the H.264 video encoding now with the 60Mbit video bitrate (maybe lower then 60Mbit if it gives problems)

If you like me to test other settings just let me know. :)

The results I will tell you later.

is normal that i can record video at 30fps 720x480 at 100mbit with a nexus s?

10 second of video is over 50mb of data
[Android Apps and Games] TheEndHK:
Here I want to share my video shooting experiences with LGCamera. I've got two smartphones, one is Sony Xperia S(.73 stock rom) and the other one is HTC One S w/ S4 CPU(1.53/1.78 EU stock rom rooted).

While LGCamera works perfectly with Xperia S, it doesn't work well with One S(though the situation with One X looks better from what I've read in this thread).

My Xperia S actually does a constant 29.x FPS with 19.xMbit in any environment including both outdoor and indoor(not that good lighting, but not to the extreme). One S usually drops to 20fps(best gets 25fps) with 13.xMbit.

Today I've tested the HQCam from XDA(only for HTC sensation or One series). The video quality is a lot better than LGCamera. So, I think there are still many rooms for LGCamera to improve the compatibility for One series. HQCam does a constant 29.x FPS on my One S both outdoor(19.xMbit) and indoor(varies from 14Mbit to 18Mbit).

There is an issue with beta 5 on i9100.

It stucks pretty much every time you edit the focus options plus when getting a picture screen kinda freaks out.

Previous beta had this problem fixed :-)

A couple of bug reports from me.

When I switch from photo-mode to video-mode, it freezes for a few seconds, then this happens:

hi, tnx for the new beta 6, its better than beta3 on my GS2 (Stock ICS)

now autofocus is working under continuous focus mode

but one problem, just the first recording after installing the app has auto focus the next ones doesnt have auto focus, i have to uninstall and reinstall the app to auto focus work for one more time, this can be fixed?

[Android Apps and Games] Whizzpopper:
I am using a Samsung Infuse running near stock UCLB3 Gingerbread on an infusion kernel. The earlier LG Camera (the one on Google Play) was pretty good, but I have had some trouble with these betas. I am updating to the latest version now - I was previously running 6.4b3. 6.4b3 did not produce very clear pictures (focus was difficult and laggy), but the reason I stopped using it was because it wasn't saving all images.

I'll update to let you know how the new build works. (initial quick test shows better behaviour. it could well have been another setting my phone interfering with the camera in earlier builds)
[Android Apps and Games] _Sofos_:
True. Just checked that.

Nah, KINGTATu is right, you just didnt see it because it still records just fine but indeed when you move the camera it doesn't focus as much as it did in the first video you recorded.

" And remember, when nothing goes right.. go left.. "
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:

[Android Apps and Games] _Sofos_:

I made a guess, i thought since i didn't notice it the first time you might have missed it as well. Anyway i was wrong as it seems since in your phone is working just fine.

I'll try and reinstall, record some videos and i'll come back :-)

" And remember, when nothing goes right.. go left.. "
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Use stock ROM.

I can not understand why people use bugsy ROM like CM, AOSP and others?
[Android Apps and Games] bgx:
I can therefore only sign! :good:

And @rubber thats no answer to my question! @moment I use it with dualboot but I hate to must restart to use lgcamera...
[Android Apps and Games] TheSeanTeam:
Just curious. Have you ever tried "bugsy" ROMS like AOKP or CM9?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Yes, of course. But I don't like it

There are many bugs (in camera-video recording). Because ROMs developers uses driver from stock(or beta) ROM (not writing it especially for AOSP or CM).

And read issues for this ROMs, often there are "camera not working", "video not working", "bluetooth not working", "GPS not working" etc.
[Android Apps and Games] TheSeanTeam:
The thing is, other people do like these ROMs. I don't question your taste, you should respect other's people preferences as well.

I've heard of GPS and other bugs on stock ROMs as well and that's why there are updates. Not to mention, while some non-stock ROMs are very buggy, there are a ton of cases where the issues are user error.

I'm on an AOKP ROM and everything works pretty much from what I see, including this awesome camera app.

Stick to talking about the features, bugs and issues with this APP and quit your bigotry against those who like to push Android to the limit and explore these other ROMs.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
For AOSP, CM users.

Go to /system/framework

Is there seccamera.jar, seccamera.odex, secmediarecorder.jar, secmediarecorder.odex? If not, than you can not use pause while video recording feature, may be touch focus missing too.
[Android Apps and Games] Shahrokh.KING:
you know that is much worse than auto focus, taping start from macro to set focus to the selected objest, u get at least 0.5 sec of blurred video
[Android Apps and Games] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I would have been on Custom ROm long time ago if its camera apps had been at minimum quality as stock ones :)

Rubber is right - often custom roms have bad cameras and worse quality.
[Android Apps and Games] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
So far CM9 threads are full of "camera not working", "camera freezes", "video lags" ect. No thank you :)

Till they finally do working camera at minimum stock level I am not going to ever touch it again.
[Android Apps and Games] bgx:
No not present in cm9. But your camera app and stock camera and all others working fine, except of the missing pause button. If I copy the missing files from stock rom it will not work? Stupid question I allready now the answer...

The camera works pretty well for me now, but the Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness settings still doesn't work on my Galaxy Note GT-N7000.

My continuous-focus also doesn't work. Tested it yesterday. It took me a few tries and tests to get the touch-to-focus to work for the photo-mode and video-mode, but continuous-focus doesn't work while recording or even just previewing. Only touch-to-focus works in both instances.

I didn't test it on Xperia S ICS though. Can you tell me which rom you were running on Xperia S? When I was on .73 I could select 40mbit 60mbit from menu and no crash, but ended up the video only recorded at 20Mbit.

By upgrading to ICS, the stock cam set to 20Mbit by default. From the point of quality-wise view, LGCamera is still better even though they both shoot at 20Mbit but the video stability should be the stock cam wins because it actually works.

To everyone having the issue downloading the file, I was able to get it my viewing the 'source' of the page in chrome browser and copying the actual text link into clipboard and pasting it into Firefox. I have no idea why that worked differently than the 100's of other things I tried...but I finally got it.

I thought it was the wrong file as it was just called lgcamera.apk without any version info in the file name. After installing and checking version, it was the latest one though.

***I have noticed that when exiting this version, my phone now takes a long time to return to portrait mode [about 30 seconds]. My 'home' screen will be displayed all crazy in landscape [it's normally locked to portrait] before returning to normal. Not sure if it has anything to do with the app itself, just an observation and wondering if anyone else is having this happen. I haven't had it happen with any other apps except when exiting 'gallery' if I entered it via lgcamera. Nothing that isn't worth the extra features in this app versus stock.

tried not all settings so far, but everything worked and the quality is very good. ok, burst mode on galaxy nexus is not as fast as on galaxy s3 (around 3-4 5mp pictures) but the quality is very good.

one thing i'm really missing in all new smartphones camera is, the option to pause a video and then resume. so you can chnage perspective without ending up with two or more different clips. the stock galaxy s1 cam had that option, but in all newer phones there is a lack of this option. Do you think you can add that?
