How To Record 4K 60 FPS on the Galaxy S7 (Exynos) [NO ROOT] 

240

The light requirements are the same as for the stock 1080p60 mode

​@@Cvolton Hey buddy, thanks for the video. Have you seen the "How to Enable 4K 60Fps UHD in Samsung Camera on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, S8, S8+ and Note 8" video on youtube also, the guy claims he can now record at fullhd 270fps and qhd 120fps. But i dont think i believe it. Have you experimented ? Thanks !

@@FunBitesTV I made the Magisk module shown in the video and I can confirm it's legitimate, however the S7 doesn't support 1080p240 and 1440p120, instead of tops out at 4k60, 1080p120 and 720p240 and if you try to force a higher frame rate, the end result is just a laggy mess

@@Cvolton Thank you for the reply , and thank you for your work

It works with the demo version and it is real 4k60fps (not upscaled, nor interpolated). It's impossible to do this in the stock camera app without root. I made a Magisk module that adds this functionality there (and many more features), but you need root for that. It's impossible to modify the stock camera without root.

@@Cvolton where to do root ( safely! ) with your opinion?

Mine says failed to record ...s7 edge

dá, ale docela složitě, do extra parameters můžeš připsat něco jako "iso=50;exposure-time=33" (pokud tam již nějaké jsou, tak doplnit středník a připsat to za to), kde místo 50 napíšeš co chceš za iso a místo 33 napíšeš čas závěrky v mikrosekundách (33 je 1/24000, což je úplné minimum, co ten telefon umí)

format the sd wiht exfat in windows, the fat32 max 4gb limit sorry for this inglish

the bitrate is in Megabits-per-30-frames (thank you Samsung) instead of just Mbps, so that is why it's double

@@Cvolton ok weird... Well now at least we know :)

you can switch to 50 FPS, put this in video extra parameters fast-fps-mode=1;preview-fps-range=50000,50000

@@Cvolton Ok, thanks, seems to work. :) Worth noting is that if the scene is dark, the framerate can get lower than 50/60. If it's dark, there's not enough light available to the sensor to produce satisfactory quality with high framerate so it seems to get lower automatically.

no, it can't, it doesn't have USB-C

AFAIK the hardware actually doesn't support 60 fps. Even though the snapdragon could do 1080p60 encoding, the sensor doesn't have a high resolution 60 fps mode to my knowledge

@@Cvolton well it could still do 720 or 480 p at 60 fps right? Cause i have a motorola e5 play go ,with a snapdragon 425 ,and it can do 120 fps at 480p,and it looks pretty good even in that resolution.so there has to be a way that a6 plus could achieve that level .

the problem is the sensor, not the encoder

It says it is recording at 4032 x 2268 but the actual output file is 3840 x 2160. The bigger resolution is needed as a workaround for a bug that makes it record in only 45 FPS

@@Cvolton, thank you for your answer!

sadly not aware of anything, the sensor does support higher fps under certain circumstances but nobody has modified the camera driver in a way that enables this functionality to my knowledge

@@Cvolton Hi, thank you for getting back to me. sad to hear.

It shouldn't overheat or shut down, I've recorded 30+ minute long videos with this. It drains the battery very quickly though, so you may want to be careful about that. And no, the script doesn't touch the main camera app at all.

@@Cvolton Thanks man! I've played around with it a little and done some A/B testing against the stock app. 4K30 in the stock app appears much less gariny than the snap camera trial app at 4K60 in the exact kind of lighting situation. Is it due to the two different apps presets? Can I get the snap camera app to behave more like the stock app when comes to automatic mode or do we have to live with the much more grainy picture in 4K60? Update: I've played around a bit and it seems that exposure seems to be fixed once you click on record? Changing the settings in the photo tab doesn't seem to change that and in the video tab there's no setting for automatic exposure? Any fix for this?

Don't enable camera2 api, Samsung doesn't support 60 FPS in camera2 api on phones released before the S9

The app says 1080p but if you check the video file, it's 4k. That "1080p" is just the name of the preset

@@Cvolton ok, I think I'll call my phones manufacturer and get them to change a few things in this device

Jako máš pravdu

it's not, 480 FPS slo-mo on the S8 is fake anyways, it's interpolated from the 240 FPS recordings

@@Cvolton 😭😭😭

The camera cant even do 240fps its not set up to do those kind of things

@@nitroxylic it is, how do you think the stock slow motion mode works

Yes

I haven't found a way to record more than 60 fps in any external app, so I'm not sure how to even attempt to do that

@@Cvolton s8 and s7 use same camera hardware...wouldn't it just be possible to port that stuff? S8 got it by ota update

they don't share the same SOC/CPU though, the S7 may simply not be able to encode 720p480 video, even if it could get 480 fps from the camera itself. I'll try messing with this later

@@Cvolton okay no probs take your time :)

@@spacy9571 alright, I figured out way more stuff since then. The 480 FPS mode found on the S8/N8 is just an interpolated mode based on the 240 FPS mode that the S7 has too. That means that with the super slow motion mode you don't get any real additional frames, they're all calculated from the 240 FPS modes. And I've tried a few things to bring that logic over to the S7 as well but everything was unsuccesful so far. You can get a similar (or possibly even better) result by just doing motion interpolation in After Effects or something.
