Dear Mark
Thanks a lot of for great app.
I am LG g2 owner and your open camera is one of many camera app from market where I don't see dead piksels on video recording.
I would ask you is impossible to develop video recording option. In next version you could add fps setting because in lower light we very lost fps. In dailylight. I can have 30fps on out side. On rooms the fps is very low. Max. I had 9 fps. Your app is great and I believe you can do something with losing fps In lower light and in Rooms.
Because no it is big problem.
I think good option is add to bitrate option and develop audio recording.
Thanks a lot for read my letter. I hope some of my thinks will you think about
It in next update.
Best regards
Hi,
Dropping the frame rate in low light would be done by the phone/camera, rather than Open Camera - the following threads suggest that this tends to happen on some devices, due to the device having to do more work in low lighting:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12099845/low-lighting-leads-to-low-fps-when-recording-video
Does it get better if you decrease the exposure (suggestion at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925020 )?
Audio recording should be available, it's controlled by a separate option (Settings/Photo and video settings/Record audio).
Ufortunetly it did not help. Do you have any things how to help with this for my LG g2.
Best regards

I hope you can do something with low FPS in next update od tour program.
Unfortunetly decrease on ensure does not work.

Unfortunately I don't have a fix for this yet - as I say, this may be something done by the device itself. Do other 3rd party camera/video apps do a similar thing?
Unfortunetly another apps have the same effect with FPS in low light.
Only stick camera don't dropp FPS in low light. Comepare stock camera to play store aplication diffrent in low light beetwen this APP is 5fps. Can you implement solutions from stock camera to your aplication thanks witch your aplication will not drop FPS in low light. I Hope you will try something do to solve my case i count on you. You can contact with developera from xda forum jusitsu and xabbera.

It may be that the LG camera application is taking advantage of something specific for LG devices, not available through the standard Android API. I searched on XDA, and can see various ports of the LG camera to AOSP, as well as various modified versions - which are you running, do you have a link to the thread? I can't find source code for any of them, but I can try asking.
I use this app form cm 11 rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540030
In low light i have minimum 15 fps, if you can please implement that solution for your app.
It will be very good if we can minimum value of fps in low light on 15 fps. It is more by 5 fps then your aplication.
If you need soure code for that i think the best way from your side will be if you contact with Jishnu Sur™ developer from xda froum.
Link below:

He has experience for implement sulution from stock lg camera from asop cm.
I belive you will try help me with this hard case for you. Your aplication is so important for me because it is only app camera for lg g2 where i don't see hot piksels when i recording in low light.
For your work if you will try solve my problem big greatfull for you:)

Dear Mark do you discover something in my case?
Thanks a lot for a info;)
I haven't got a reply about source code yet I'm afraid - even if I do, it will take time to investigate, and I may not be able to make use of it if the LG stock camera uses code specific to the LG camera driver, rather than the standard Android camera API.

Hi similar issue observed on Samsung S7 also.
I am getting inconsistent frame rates on the Galaxy S4 and indeed the lighting has some influence on this. I get 30fps (which is the max. my phone can do) in good daylight but only around 15fps in low light. The only thing that seems to help is pointing the camera to a light source and then locking the exposure. So it seems to be related to the shutter speed, as Mark's above link suggests. But I'm not sure if this is the only factor. Also, the frame rate may change over time in the same video clip which makes post production quite difficult. Anyway, it would be great to have a “force constant frame rate“ option (within the phone's cpabilities of course).
