Problem in camera not focusing while recording video - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi, need to ask for your help. The camera of a friend Z play loose focus while recording video and doesn't focus again. This problem is not present while taking pics.
He already restored the phone with no luck and he is still in 6.0.1,maybe if he upgrades to Nougat the problem will be solved? Or maybe he needs to go to technical service? The phone still has warranty.
I attached a test video.
Thanks for any help.

I'm using Cinema FV-5 for years to record videos. It has several options, including for focus and do not have focus problem.

KS20 Stuttering/Laggy Video Recording

I've recently been noticing when I actually went ahead and utilized the video recording functions of my KS20, that it stutters horribly during recording - as in, it literally freeze-frames every few seconds of video, which makes any recordings really horrible to watch. I know on my old phone, which had the same sort of 2MP camera, I never experienced such issues.
Is there a driver patch or update I can be directed to in order to rectify my problem?
Cheers for any assistance.

try to record on internal storage
I have it set to internal, and there's plenty of space for it to use to store the video. It just keep stuttering - with plenty of ram free as well. I'm quite lost as to what's the problem exactly.
Sorry to resurrect my old post, but I'm still having the problem despite fiddling around with it insistently, to no avail.
Basically, I'm storing on the internal memory, with plenty of RAM free (original ROM as well). I record video and every 2-3secs it freeze-frames or stutters for a moment, and does not stop (recorded 5mins and it kept doing it). I really need to understand whether it is a software issue, or an issue with the firmware, or if it's hardware and i need to get it repaired. The camera takes perfectly fine photographs and i have no other problems.
Any ideas/fixes that I could be informed of would be great.

Are the video recording issues fixed after 2.3.3?

Searched but couldnt find anything except SE said that the video recording issues will be fixed in 2.3.3. So can anyone confirm they were fixed (freeze,stutter, audio sync etc.) Thank you
The video stutter issue was found when I was using an old class 2 micro SD card on 2.3.2. After I have changed to use a class 10 card from Transcend, the Burroughs recording issue wad not found (before update to 2.3.3), see if I have time to test back the previous slow card on my updated 2.3.3. But anyway I suggest you get a class 10 card since the system use the SD card heavily for storing application data, this will improve the system performance, especially the gallery appear, and seems pretty much everything.

hopefully it works..
I never experienced this in 2.3.2 but maybe because i changed to 16gb class 6 right after purchase
Confirmed as fixed, I have taken multiple videos with 2.3.3 and no glitches. with 2.3.2 I did have some.
i have not recorded much before 2.3.2, but made some recordings post 2.3.3 and no issues at all.
rumnyc, bustervic,
What is the class of card you use?

I thing class of card is not important in this moment because whatever card rumnyc used on Android 2.3.2 he had problems with recorded video and after update on Android 2.3.3 he don't have any problems. For me this issue is fixed. Personaly i didn't have any problems on Android 2.3.2 with recorded video.
So far I have not encountered any problems, have recorded 3 X 10min clips and have not seen or noticed any undue pausing as I did originally before updating to 2.3.3. Iam still using original 8Gb card that was supplied in retail package.

Poor playback of recorded video ??
Rather than start another thread on poor video recording I thought I'd ask for some help here. I have read all the XDA threads I could find on the problems of video recording but still don't understand where the Arc is at on this particular problem. I do have the 2.3.3 update (flashed UK O2 .145 firmware) - everything on the phone works great for me, except this problem.
Yesterday, I tried out video recording and while I was actually doing the recording I was very impressed. I was filming in a massive indoor barn where my kids were jumping during a horse riding lesson, so lots of movement and a little bit of moving the camera around in the video.
I liked the fact that I could see on the screen that the lens picked up most of the width of the barn, so I had to do little moving left and right with the camera. I got used to where the lens is positioned so didn't have any problems putting my finger in the way.
I watched the videos back on the phone straight afterwards - looked great. I was really pleased with the whole taking a video experience.
BUT, the problem is that when I transferred the videos on to my computer and tried to watch them, they are incredibly jumpy, lots of missed frames and jerkiness - nothing like playback on the Arc. Basically, they are unwatchable. I played them back in lots of different media players - all the same.
I recorded in HD, with and without image stabilisation, everything was really quick on the phone such as starting each recording, and the film was almost immediately available to watch once the recording had ended (something that even my old digital cameras couldn't do so quickly. I am only using a Class 2 Sandisk card but I don't see that can be the problem.
Please, if anyone can suggest a fix or explain what the situation is - I didn't even know there were recording issues on the Arc until I read that they were fixed with 2.3.3 (and thats what I have on the phone).
Thanks

Look Frenchdroid,dont worry u r are is prefectly fine as far as i know
u r camera is perfectly fine
they problem lies in your computer or lappy
i thnk your computer graphic card or hardware is not capable of playing 720p(HD ready) or 1020p(full HD) videos,thats why u r experiencing this problem of dropping frames and installing media players or updating codecs wont solve this problem but upgrading your computer hardware may do the trick...........
IF my post helped you use thanks button....
Hey - thanks for your reply. You know what ? You were right. I feel like an idiot but hey, at least I'm a bit wiser now I'm not used to all of these video formats and stuff like this.
do not worry we at xda , are like a family,always ready to help each other......

[Q] Weird static in camcorder app

So I recently had to have my phone sent back to samsung for warranty work (I turned it into a hard brick). They replaced the motherboard and sent it back to me. I've had it a month and a half now and started using the camera to take videos again. The weird thing is that there's this crackling, staticky noise throughout every video I take!!! It makes the video camera completely useless! I don't have any problems in calls or other apps that use the microphone, only the video camera, and the pictures still turn out perfectly! I'm completely stumped...any ideas?

Video taken after the phone was serviced: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200461462722410
The only difference between these two videos is the motherboard swap and possibly jellybean update...one sounds great, the other one sounds awful!
*Bump*
Anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Video recording at around 15fps instead of 30 on any Non-Touchwiz roms.

This has happened with every Non-Touchwiz based roms I have flashed.
Currently using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989907
Is there any fix for this? I'm heading away on a trip in a few weeks and I'd rather not have flash Touchwiz just to record video at 30. I've always been a fan of stock android but this is the one bug I cannot stand. I've searched on here for weeks but never found my exact problem, hence this thread.
This happens in every camera app I can find, the image preview in both photo and video mode appears to stutter and lag. Obviously in the photo mode it doesn't matter, but the video maintains this lag and low fps into the video recording. It may even appear to be lower than 15, but I haven't measured this. The front camera appears to be unaffected however.
Regardless of the video/audio codec and resolution combination I use the problem still persists.
There's also a bug where instead of stereo audio, there is only audio in the right side. But that doesn't bother me as long as there is a fix for the fps issue.
Thanks.

[Q] Audio Recording bug?

Hey guys, I've got a small problem with recording audio on my phone, the Samsung galaxy Note 3 Neo SM 750. Every 5 seconds or so, there's a small break in the audio being recorded. This happens when using the default Voice recording app, as well as any 3rd party app, like when recording a voice note in Whatsapp for example, or when taking a video in the camera app. As a result, now even when i record videos, the audio and the video are horribly out of sync.
Is this a mic problem? I'm using Stock touchwiz and i recently got an update to 4.4 kitkat. This problem seems to have arisen after that.
I would be most grateful for suggestions.
Thanks,
I have the same. After hard reset the problem fixes for some time, but the next day it returns. Impossible to use audio and video recording. I would appreciate any ideas to solve this.
Hello, I think I found the reason. Try to disable voice calling OK Google from any application. This seems to help.
