Just got my used Note 8 last week, Jan 2020! Had to sell my iPhone 11 and i loved that phone but this was only $150 and its not at all a huge drop off like i was expecting it to be. Starting to work with and then master the outdoor, very low light....iso 50 and apature or whatever to 10. Seen some vids on that and they look sick! Excited and thanks for a great sounding and well put together vid!

I was wondering how to get the blur effect in Pro mode! Thanks!

@Sheevness

Are you talking about blur as in out of focus? Or light trails at night? Food mode focuses just in the center and blurs the rest. Changing the shutter speed will give you light trails at night, or getting shots of the stars. You change this in the shutter icon. Slide it to the top where is says "10" and you will get great low light photos.

Thank you Note 3, I was able to forward up to 30 pics at a time. Note 8, so far allows me to fwd 5-6 pics at a time. I save my pics to laptop. Still trying to figure out to fwd many pics? There is more steps to do.

No hdr mode on android pie

Hi do you know why we cant take a Raw photo with pro mode in note 8 when i zoom it more?? I zoom it an take the picture but in my gallery i saw the Raw pic is not save in a zoom... i mean take the photo in 2x in the pro mode but picture saved Raw in 1x zoom whyyyy?? We dont have this problem in s8 ....both of them in android pie (9)

How can I control the zoom through the photo capture button?

7:39 does that really to show only for full screen?? LOL I thought that will change the camera megapixel lower (7.9MP, 18.5:9) and i heard one or two of the youtuber saying that, that option will drop your mega pixel, and i never used it for that reason, always used in 4:3...

Hi, thanks for your time. My problem is when I'm recording a video and I'm using a white background the recorded playback image goes back and forth from light to dark. What settings are off? Great Video by the way!

@BrentHall

4 жыл бұрын

Are you recording in pro mode? It sounds like some part of the exposure might be in auto and the metering is changing the reading during the recording. You might try making sure everything is in manual if you have pro mode or a 3rd party app, or if you're in the regular video mode, you can try holding down the AF/AE button for a few seconds to lock it in to what you set so it won't change during recording. Don't know if that'll help, but worth trying maybe.

How do I enhance better images?

Hi Brent. I like your style of explaining how things work. I understand it. Ty. I was wondering why I don't have a shutter sound on/off button in the settings. I'm thinking it might be that you have an international version. I live in Wisconsin and have the U.S. Cellular version. I take a lot of pics of my cat. She knows what the shutter sound is and can get annoyed. I can turn the volume down. However, by then the moment may have passed. Any suggestions? Thank you. And I think your cat is adorable and like that you left that in. The cut scene at the end made me giggle.

@BrentHall

Thank you for the kind words! As far as I know I have a regular US model, that I got from Verizon. The shutter sound option is the second to last option in the camera settings menu. I don't know why it wouldn't be in there.

The link is in the video description, and I also have this review of it here: kzread.info?o=U&video_id=93OJlAdVvfw It's a bit long, because I did a comparison, and put some in-depth audio editing stuff in there too, but the first part is all about the VideoMicro.

Sure thing! Rode also makes the Video Mic Me, which is the same mic as the VideoMicro, but it mounts straight to your phone instead of on a hot/cold-shoe mount. Might be worth checking out if you're looking for an easy/simple mounting mic for the phone.

Great video.. everytime I try to record a slow-mo when at home under white light, I see some lines passing through and the quality of video is ruined.

@BrentHall

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I think that may be due to the fact that in slow-mo it's shooting at 240 frames per second, and if you're shooting under a fluorescent (white) light, they usually have pretty bad flicker, and the higher your frames per second, the greater chance you have of recording that flicker in the video. That may be what you're seeing. There are higher quality lights that don't do that, but they are much more expensive.

Hi is the selfie mode good in mega pixel??? And do it have flash in the front?

I haven't messed with the front camera too much, but I have been happy with it's quality from the shots I took, and yes it does have a flash in front, but it's not the same as the flash on the back camera, it's more like the whole screen goes white to light up your face and it's not as harsh.

@BrentHall

2 жыл бұрын

If your images are blurry then you need to increase your shutter speed, which unfortunately means you'll probably have to increase your iso a bit as well, which will create more noise in the image, but I'd rather have a nosy image than a blurry one.

Depends on the version of android you have. But, no matter the version if you tell Bixby to mute the camera, it will disable to shutter sound. My Sprint Note 8 doesn't have it, But my friends Verizon Note 8 does have the option.

So when you're taking pictures or recording video in full screen the resolution decreases? How much? Is it that noticeable?

@BrentHall

6 жыл бұрын

In the settings, if you set the picture size to the full screen 18:5:9 it says it drops it to 9.1M and puts the resolution at 4032x1960. So that's about a 3M drop in image size. I believe this happens because the actual sensor size is in the 4:3 aspect ratio, so any time you change the aspect from that, you are effectively cropping the image. I don't think the image quality differences will be noticeable on mobile/social media platforms in most cases, unless you are cropping in on the image even further in post, or you are wanting to print bigger than an 8x12' or something. Recording video in the full screen won't change the quality from whatever you have it set on, so if you have it set to full UHD, then hit the show full screen button on the phone, the phone will show you a full screen coverage, but will still record in the UHD size and aspect ratio.

What kind of Tripod are you using? or what kind would you recommend for note 8?

@BrentHall

6 жыл бұрын

I use a few different tripods for my phone, depending on what kind of shot I need. The one I'm using in the video is my Benro Travel Angel. It's big enough to hold a full size DSLR, but still small enough to not look ridiculous with the phone, plus it gives me height. I also use my Joby gorilla pod because it's super sturdy and flexible. And sometimes when I want to go ultra portable, or just need something for a table top or something, then I will use my little Benro PocketPod. They all have different purposes and are great for certain things. I have the links for all of them in the video description if you want to check out their specs. The PocketPods and the Gorilla Pods are also great to use as handles as a makeshift gimbal. They will help to slightly stabilize your handheld footage for vlogging and stuff like that. The tripod mount I have is also listed in the description and can be mounted to pretty much any type of tripod, so something like would also be necessary, but there's lots of options for those.

It's something that Samsgung implemented for some reason. Not sure why. Possibly to play it safe in case of overheating. It's odd that it seems to only have that limit for the 4K and 1080 60p , but the 1440 is unlimited. You might try using a different camera app and see if that will work?

For sure, this video definitely isn't for people who are already accustomed to Samsung. I was pretty surprised when people kept asking me to make it, but I'm trying to help people, and to build an audience who can learn and grow from every level. I can't please everyone (see your first comment) and if I didn't force myself to have thick skin, getting a comment like that would have likely caused me to consider quitting. I'd much rather be doing tutorials of advanced stuff like setting up motion controlled "holy grail" day-to-night timelapses for dslrs, and how to do crazy stuff in After Effects, because that's where I'm at, but very few (comparatively speaking) others are at that level. So because I want to be and enjoy being a KZreadr, I have to do videos that people want to see, and more people want to see this video than people who don't. But hopefully they'll learn and grow and this will help them move to the next level, and I'll have videos waiting for them, until one day they're as comfortable with the basic stuff like this as you and I are. Thank you for the reply, I do appreciate it, and I will try to cater to people of higher skills levels as well, it just takes time, because making videos is pretty time consuming.
