No one is bothered that video stats recording immediately as soon as you switch to video mode in the camera app?
Sometimes I like to load up video mode, set the zoom and wait for whatever is going on in front of me to start before I start recording.
Can't do that with this phone. As soon as I click video it starts recording. I can hit pause, set the zoom and wait, but I still have a couple of second of unwanted video at the start.
Am I missing something? Why in the world would they have designed it this way?
I think of it as always being in both camera and camcorder standby. They basically removed an unnecessary step so you can grab the action faster. You can zoom prior to hitting the video (record) button.

I see,I guess just think of the video button as the record button. I didn't know zoom would hold when doing that, but it does. That should be fine then.
Flash also seems to come on in video mode if it's set to auto and not enough light. Not sure you ever want flash on with video though?

Hi, well that's my question.
Is there an option to zoom while recording?. When you put the phone on photo mode you can use Volume key (+ -) but when you change to camcorder mode it does nothing.
So...Zoom on camcorder, where is it?.
I'd appreciate some answers about it.
most devices aren't able to zoom during video..
its the same with my "pro" camera .. (not a phone - a real camera)
don't think that defy is able to do so. (just guessing)
best regards,

In my current phone, I can't set the zoom level whist recording, either. However, I can adjust it prior to pressing the record button, so that the whole clip is recorded with the newly defined zoom level. Check whether such a behavior applies to your case too. It's not the ideal situation, of course, but still...
Just my 2 cents...

Mi old Nokia 5320 and my older Motorola RokrE2 could do it.
It's a shame Alarms don't work with the phone turned off and now this.
Looking for help to gain root access to the wifi remote for customization purposes.
The GoPro hero 3 has a wifi remote that I had assumed would mirror every function on the camera.... after all it has the same screen and same buttons.
Not so unfortunately... I think they missed one that makes no sense to not have working.
The camera will allow simultaneous video and photo in one of 4 nominated res.... in fact at 1080 30fps wide it'll snap 4k pix while yr recording the video.
You can set it to do so at 5 second intervals (shortest)... but also even without the auto setting you can press the 'mode' button and take a photo whenever you choose.
Problem is pressing the mode button on the remote to perform this function doesn't work.... so I need someone clever to program the correct command line into the remote software.
To me... and maybe others.... this function is pointless unless you can operate from the remote.... after all this is an action sports camera that we wear or mount in unusual positions.... it's not a camera for holding and pressing buttons.
Hope someone can assist please

Hello, I have Nexus 7 (2013) and wonder if there is a way to always force Youtube app to play in full screen once I hold it in landscape mode. In other words, say I found a video I want to view and I hold the device either in portrait or landscape mode, then i press the play button and video automatically fills the whole screen and plays in landscape mode.
Currently, if I want to play video in full screen, I have to press first once to activate Youtube app's lower panel and then on the arrows on the video's lower right button. So basically I wonder if there is way to remove these extra steps. My toddler daughter is watching lots of Youtube cartoons and every time she starts to watch a new video I have to approach her and manually make it play in full screen mode.

Sounds like a good candidate for an xposed module, request it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541
Is there any other way to record GIFs than setting the long press camera button to this? I would like to record GIFs sometimes, but I would use the burst mode capture more. Right now I have long press set to burst, but it would be nice if there was a way to choose gif for the individual shot/video and not have to dig through settings just to turn it on temporarily. I haven't found anything yet.
Getting sick and tired for trying to make a video or a picture and it auto focuses, i see no way to turn it off... bloody hell!
Please help!
And thanks to anyone that helps!
Great first post.
Edit: OP better...
for photos, just use the Pro mode, and leave everything else on auto
for videos, buy a separate video camera, or pester motorola to add a Pro video mode, or learn to deal with it
you can just tap to select what point it'll try to autofocus on, too

The problem is that tap to focus doesn't work with this device.
