    Bump. Same issue in 2019.

      It seems that on my phone (Galaxy S8), the maximum resolution in the native camera app is 3840x2160, but am limited to 3264x1836 with camera API2. If I use API1, I can get full 2840x2160, but lose manual control of shutter speed and focus. My guess is that the video is not coming directly from the sensor but is instead being captured off the screen (similar to how Snapchat for android is essentially screen capturing the camera preview and therefore is lower quality than the iphone version). Looking through the code it certainly seems like the app cannot figure out the native resolutions and is therefore resorting to screen capture, but of course cannot confirm it without the author's explaination.

        Note that the video does come direct from the sensor, Open Camera isn't capturing from the on-screen preview.

        Open Camera exposes all video modes made available to third party applications, maybe Samsung haven't enable the full resolution of third party apps for some reason. Are there any third party apps that do allow 3840x2160?

        For what it's worth, my Galaxy S10e allows 3840x2160 in Open Camera with Camera2 API, so at least Samsung seem to have allowed this on newer devices.

    Hi Mark,
    Many of the other 3rd party apps cost money to unlock 4k recording, or are rather shady looking free applications. Filmic Pro allegedly supports 4k, but I only have the evaluation version of the app (and personally like Open Camera's interface way better).
