Hello first thing first this app is very good so congrats for you have done already...I have an issue with video size when using the app...the maximum size of the video is 3264 x 1836 when the native Samsung app allows to film in 3840 x 2160....that is a lot of difference ! and I would really appreciate to understand how to fix this...thanks in advance. christophe

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).
