The app that encouraged me to take photos professionally on my phone.
Me too!
This app upped my game for sure
Three in the morning over here but I know it’s worth the info 💯
Damn! Get some sleep hahaha😀 We appreciate the support though!
@@PrimalVideo c c try it XXX xx i
The software that came with my samsung did an absolutely terrible job on standard landscape photos with high variation in lighting. I installed open camera last week, and this was a perfect intro in how to use it. well done.
most of the things covered here apply to both the video and photo modes for anyone who was wondering.
Hey Justin, thank you for this video! Thanks to your tutorials I started making educational videos with my Samsung Galaxy S7. I used to believe that I had to buy some very expensive equipment to start but then I learned from your videos that it's not necessary. And it's true, I only bought a mic and a yongnuo light as you advised.
I've been using the default camera app but after watching this tutorial I think I'll use Open Camera and even Filmic Pro. Thanks a lot!
I don't think android phones support FilmicPro! I agree Justin is a great instructor, so is TubeNoob, I learned a lot from both of them when it comes to filming with Android phones.
So awesome to hear it! Hope it all goes well!
@@seekfactsnotfiction9056 Android phones do support FilMic
Been using this app for around a year now and I downloaded it in the first place because of your recommendation.
I'm now having trouble recording any video. My phone has loads of storage as well as the sd card.
I ended up uninstalling the app and re-downloading it.
Seams to me working again.
Great - Hazel, PV Team
Justin,you are brilliant at what you do. I’m a complete beginner,have watched quite a few of your videos now - they are very professional,so well designed not To waste my time but at the same time so clear and informative! Your personality and the way you speak are also spot-on and well-suited for the purpose of the video! Thanks a million and wish you all the best with all your projects!
A million thanks for this tutorial Justin! Trying to record some card games, but the color changes were diving me NUTS!! Easy to understand and straight to the point, couldn't be better! Subscribed!!
Sounds great, thank you for subscribing and showing your appreciation. Enjoy recording your card games! - Hazel, PV Team
Thank you man you made me step up my filming with this tutorial using the open camera app.
Justin, you're a superstar!! I just updated to Samsung Galaxy S10+ and lockdown has meant my work can only be delivered via video. You have totally dimistified video settings for me. I am no longer afraid! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video I've been searching everywhere for a simple clear explanation of how to film my painting process without the colour changing and the focus changing throughout my video, I am SO grateful I have a perfect video finally!
Wow, job well done! You're welcome! 😊
This is so good to hear. I'm also struggling with exactly the same issue filming my painting. The focus keeps changing for me too. Did open camera solve this issue? I'm thinking of downloading the app.
Great app I started using this app a while ago I learned from your previous video thanks Justin
It is great! Thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial!! This is soooo helpful. I'm gonna use this "open camera" on my next vlog!
Awesome! Hope it goes well!
Thank you so much for this detailed and simple to understand tutorial. I really needed to understand these settings. God bless you! 🙂🙏🏻❤
You're welcome, all the best to you - Hazel, PV Team
This is a great tutorial! Thank you so much for creating this!
No problem! Thanks!
i saw your previous open camera tutorial and subscribed...
Now new video in 2019😍😍😍
From India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Awesome! Hope you liked it!
@@PrimalVideo yeah!😍
Open Camera gives me MUCH better pics and vdos than the Std. Galaxy A50 camera app. I used to think it was all about the hardware, but not true, the app can make a difference too. The auto white balance is very good.
Hi Justin, thanks for the video. I'm really struggling to get a crisp focus on myself and a slightly blurred background using open camera on my android. Should I use an auto focus because I set it on manual focus, I find my head goes in and out of focuscwhile taking and gesturing to the camera. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
They really should add a way to record with the screen off which would be perfect for Vloggers/Timelapse.
Tubelight if on, it is kind of fluroscent light, popular in India, we call it as tubelight. when tubelight is on and if flash is kept on and even if white balance is locked. pics comes out as yellow
That's just great. I just downloaded this app and video (flat) log profile menu is missing as it is also unavailable for Android devices in Filmic Pro. I just went out and got an S20 hoping to capture the highest quality and cannot find a single app to support all these features. Disappointed to find out my newly purchased DJI Osmo Mobile 3 also lacks Android compatability with frame rate etc. Getting seriously frustrated... any insight / suggestions appreciated!
Ohhhhhhhhh God! Thank you!!! Been working with the older tutorial and have been soooooo confused!
You're a blessing.
Thanks!
We thought it was time for an updated version 😀 Thanks ceesika!
@@PrimalVideo thank you
Excellent and very informative video. I am finally beginning to understand how set all of the options available on Open Camera. One point I discovered about some the options that the app limits the use of some options based the available storage.
Thanks Tom! I knew there were features that were limited based on the devices used but it could also make sense to have limits if there's not much storage available or even the speed of the storage (if you're using a slow micro sd card)
Thank You Justin Brown ! Today I brought Boya By MM1 mike and installed open camera. You cleared everything about open camera. My all doubt gone. Thanks !
So awesome to hear it! Good luck with the filming!
I like Open Camera for the options to overcome the 4gb file size limit, and be able to shoot for long periods.
Just one thing I have found is that in spite of some settings being [apparently] available in the menu it doesn't mean the phone supports them. As soon as you start filming you will get an 'Sorry ** not supported' message. (Had this issue with my old LG G4 4K camera and with my newer [current] Pixel 6a 4K camera). In fact Open Camera crashes the Pixel 6a if you select some of the unsupported options.
I needed this so badly,love from india!thankyou😉
Fantastic. Just trying out filming with Samsung Galaxy and downloaded the app and was confused on some things. Clear, concise tutorial. Much appreciated. Subscribed.
Also found setting to capture in flat profile!! Awesome app.
Awesome! Thanks Jeffrey! 😀
I hear this app can access the infrared camera. Does anyone know how to do it?
Press the button that flips the cameras (back and front) and it changes the camera every time (id 0, 1, 2, 3...)
Where has this app been all my life? I just-- many thanks Justin!!!
Haha no problem! 👍
absolutely best tutorial ever. very well detailed without being boring or too much. I wish you had the same tutorial for the camera set.
Wow thanks Morvarid Rad! Glad you enjoyed it!
im struggling to find ways to access my wide angle lens on my phone while shooting in video mode. Any steps/tricks?
This is a great app. Since I have discovered it, I stopped using the stock app. And the stock app is a good app. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S10 and allows me to unlock the potential of my phone camera.
Nice!
I don’t have an android, but I’m liking because I’m a fan of you ;)
Nice! Thanks 🙏
No problem! Big fan over here! I liked all your vids BTW. ;)
Please can you extend this tutorial to cover the various photo mode of the Open Camera?
Thanks for this very helpful video! I thought I'd be able to navigate the app pretty easily myself, but you showed me a few things that I would never have picked up on my own. Thank you so much!
You're welcome - so glad it helped 👍
once you select MANUAL white balance, if you then try and select any other white balance modes, the picture colours no longer adjust. the picture just stays at whatever you had it set on in manual mode. The only way to get out of the manual mode settings is to restart the app. the rest of the app seems much better than stock camera though.
Is this set up done once ? Or each time I want to shoot a video?
Is there a way to change the input volume for an external mic, when recording video on smartphone? I bought the Boya lapel mic, but it sound distorted when recording a video
Audio source then choose external mic.
@@romanticbaldy I have the same issue. I selected external mic but I would like to adjust the volume as it is so loud it distorts.
i have a mic plugged in into it, it has a nob to adjust the volume i can lower it. but the audio sounds a bit blown and tinny compared to when i use just the recorder app or other cameras.
IK HOW :DDD
Go camera then there is something looking like settings press that. When u press it on top of ur screen there is a wrench thing. Press it then it says audio recording if it’s not on open it. It should work. I’m not 100 percent it looks like it is though
The Bitrate part is important when it comes to how fast your memory is, like if you save onto an added Micro SD card. It has to be fast enough to actually write with the Mb/s speed you set. Also the Bitrate is in many cases unfortunately hardware locked and cannot be exceeded. Same goes for the audio bitrate of the video recording. Other camera apps like Cinema FV-5 show you where your phone's maximum bitrate can go to. Same goes for the framerate. The only way to see if the selected framerate actually works is to record a video at every selected framerate and check the videofile info if that is actually correct. I remember a few years ago i recorded some things on a Samsung Galaxy S3 and it would not record anything at 25fps with open camera. Even if it was set to 25fps it only recorded at 30fps.
Nice! Thanks for sharing 👍
Just a question,but how do youget back the + and - exposure square thingie lol, i somehow got it to not show
You need to turn off the Camera 2 API
Great Tutorial ! I have downloaded Open Camera !
That will help so much on setting up my Videos ! Thank you for sharing this information !
So awesome to hear it! 😀
Thank you for this tutorial, I request this video a month ago, I have the galaxy 10+ and I use open camera for almost 2 years..becouse your video long time ago. Perfect video and I was set this app wrong. I shoot all my videos for my channel in 4k...thank you Justin you are our Guru...
From California..Frankie D.
Thanks Frankie! Hope this video helps 😀While I do really like Open Camera I like the interface and options a little more on Filmic Pro, have you tried that on your s10+?
@@PrimalVideo No ,but I will give a try .And thank you again for all the help you give to the people using phones as a only camera.😉
Great tutorial. I'm trying to get to everything and learn much more. This will help me out and all of the ones that you sent me. How do you lock the camera before starting? Thanks, Justin. Sorry I'm a slow learner. I started using a cell phone too late and never have used the camera except about three times. Now I have forgotten so much and I'm going through all you have sent me to learn more.
Thanks Shirl, good luck with the filming!
@@PrimalVideo Thank you, Justin. I need it!! Thanks so much for your help. ☺
@@PrimalVideo Thank you. I watched the video again. :-)
this is a fabulous video that has been very helpful, thanks!
How do you change the between the 3 cameras on the phone in that app??
Is there a way to use a bluetooth earbug as audio source while shooting video?
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I started using Open Camera because some Samsung camera stock apps don't let you use the volume button as a shutter.
Thanks Brent! Nice one! Yeah, Open Cam is pretty handy 😊
Thank you Justin this is really another interesting review and tutorial too...
Thanks Magdalena!
I watched the entire video, various features of the Opencamera app explained, thank you. But again one thing missed out - how to switch to different lenses (wide-angle, telephoto)...
I want to record video using my wide angle camera but i dont know if its possible or not through this app... Anyone?
Same
it would be nice if there was a video stabilisation option. there does not seem to be any stabilisation applied, as i tested filming walking slowly across the room and it was very shaky compared with the stock android camera. that's a shame as there are other features that are a lot better than the stock app, but I can't be having shaky videos!
There is a video stabilisation setting ..Click on the little wheel go down to video settings and you'll find it there..On a personal note I find all these camera apps give you a lot more options than the native camera app but I also find that video quality from the native camera app is always slightly better. One bug I notice on the above app is the audio quality is not good ..by default it's set to stereo but I had to set it to mono to get any decent audio recording while making a video.
@sentimentaloldme nope, not on my app there is no stabilise setting. I already looked everywhere and I just checked again where you said and it's definitely not there on my version (latest version for Android). In researching online found quite a few people saying it used to be there but is now removed.
Question: Is there a way to reduce contrast when videoing with Open Camera. I do craft videos and often have to show light against dark and the contrast is always too strong. I have locked white balance, exposure and focus based on a contrasty image but this does not help. I have tried to correct this in editing (DaVinci Resolve) but it is too strong to adjust and need to do it in camera. Your videos are fab and have helped me go from newbe with no knowledge to publishing my own online workshops - but I still need more quality control in the filming!
If your phone supports it, try enabling a flat (or different) color profile in Open Camera
Justin, as always love your videos, love the tips and advice. 👍
Thanks! 🙏
Amazing, thank you so much for walking me through this. I had given up trying to find out how to lock the focus or enable advanced features, and you covered all of it. Can I ask you a question please to be cheeky. Is there a way to enable lock focus when the camera being used is the selfie one. In this mode, touching the screen doesn't bring up the green focus box? if it's not possible, I'll just keep my head still. Thanks again :-)
I have used Open Camera for years. The problem is that I want the photo/video buttons on the long dimension of the phone so I can hold the phone and press the buttons with the same hand. When they are in the standard position I need two hands. Open Camera loses this setting for some reason on a regular basis and I cannot always remember where this setting is. Do you know? Thanks.
You are so thorough.., Thank you..so helpful!
Great video. I am trying to find out which (inexpensive) wireless external microphone will work best with Open Camera. What sampling rate should the microphone have? 41.1 kHz or 48 kHz?
Justin Do you have any tips on how I should set up my photo settings?
Please, can you recommend a cheap external microphone to use with the open camera application? thank you so much.
On my phone the frame rate is not default at 30...it JUST says default...not sure if it's 30..however, I have manually chosen 30 as per your video...is that ok?
Yeah. He did not explain this well. I just got it today. Should I use default or 30 fps?
Very nice introduction to the app but I cannot see a way to playback a video within the app on the cellphone screen. Is this possible?
Filmic pro or open camera?? Your suggestion.
well, open camera is free so...
open camera does'nt support front cam? I mean when I'm using front cam, it's still black even though I'm using ring light. Sorry but I'm new to this hahaha thank you!
same hereee! Huhu
Many thanks for this superb video. I have a question if you don't mind: since there is no anamorphic desqueezing in this app, Is it possible to do it one way or another? I use a Huawei P30.
awesome !! ...but i was getting extreme white flashes in the videos i was recording, when i moved closer to the camera?? will the exposure lock eliminate that ?? or is that some other setting/problem ?
hi i need help finding a good wide lens for s9. any recommendation would be really appreciated
Thank you so much, very helpful video. I was having trouble with white background and the brightness changing every few minutes
You're welcome Sheila - Happy to help 👍 😊
Man! THAT WAS AWESOME! Thenk you so much!
Thanks Juan Pablo! 😀No problem 👍 👍
NEED REPLY ASAPPP, WHAT VERSION OF OPENCAMERA YOURE USING IN THIS VIDEOO!
What a wonderful video. Thanks a lot for your talent.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
Brilliant tutorial - de-mystifies the buttons!
Thank you for this tutorial. Subscribed! From Tamilnadu!!
You're welcome - great to have you here! 😃
I just wanna say thank you you help me a lot with my TH-cam channel
That's awesome! No problem!
Do you get static noise using an external mic? I have a Pixel XL (the original Pixel). I had this problem using Filmic Pro and Open Camera. So I googled looking for a solution. What I found out was that other Android users had the same problem (not sure about iPhone). I haven't found out how to make it work on Filmic Pro, but someone suggested a solution for Open Camera that has worked well for a couple of interview style videos I have recently shot. Go to 'Audio Source' in settings, and choose 'Optimised for voice calls'. When I did this the static background noise disappeared.
Why i don't have focus and shutter speed regulation?
I have Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-930F
Same with pixel
Help .. my Open Camera app won’t save pictures
I’ve tried clearing the memory and cache with no luck. I even uninstalled the app a couple of times then reloaded it, but still the problem persists.
If I take a picture, I hear the ‘shutter’ sound, but there’s no wee image moving to the bottom right of the screen. The picture is nowhere to be found. I can only 'take' one picture ... the button doesn't work a second time. Funnily enough though, I can record and save a video.
I have a Nokia 7+ phone
Hedgecam app works fine, an app which I think has a connection to Open Camera
Hi Justin,as always a great video.One question-wasn't sure who to ask...I bough a lavelier mic,boya BY-m1 to shoot with my phone.Following one of your videos I use it with the open camera app,as my own camera doesn't seem to allow external mic. And the sound quality is much better than without the lavelier mic for sure. But today I recorded a voiceover with filmora on my PC,connecting that same mic to the computer directly and Oh my dear what a change in quality....for better!!!!that means it's not the mic that's mediocre as I thought before,it must be the sound card on my mobile that's crap,right? Or STH else?And most importantly,is there any software or app I can buy to connect to my mobile to improve the quality of the sound,that is that will let the BOYA mic shine and thus help me have the sound quality as experiences in the voice over on filmora?? My phone's works with Android.I'd really appreciate the answer as I didn't know who to ask.
Very nice, Brother
I am from India🇮🇳.
Thanks!
Was very helpful
That's great to hear!
Silly question: I recorded a short video with open camera and now Im having trouble figuring out how to access the gallery and look at all the pictures Ive taken.Any idea how to help?
Thank you for the tutorial. When I lock everything and press record my screen lightens up and doesn't match my settings. Maybe this app does not want to work well with my Pixel 6a.
I'm looking for an app with manual controlling of ISO, Shutter speed, White balance, Exposure compensation. Including the features of Histogram, Angle line, and Format saving. Any recommendations?
When the blue video icon is visible it is saying I'm in camera mode! I don't seem to have the bigger video icon you say I need to push to video. I seem to be able to change between video and camera mode but not get them to work!? I have a Samsung A21s
This was incredible. I learned a lot thanks to you.
Great, glad you liked it!
Is there a focus that just keeps everything in focus so your background isn't blurry or foreground isn't blurry or nothing goes in or out of focus. Basically for vlogging selfies so when you are walking around you don't go out of focus or if you look at something you don't have to wait for it to come into focus etc?
A great use that wasn't really covered is the "cheese" voice command to stop and start video, since my Android smartphone can only do this for photos. Also, this app enables bluetooth remote shutter for video too, which wouldn't work for me without this "Open Camera" by Mark Harmon app.
Thank you for the walk through, it was a big help.
No problem Janet! Glad to help!
Do you know if it is possible to switch between the different lenses when the pho'e as multiple ones ? like google pixel 6 ?
Superb Tutorial. It has really helped me.
Hello Justin i have followed your instructions i can set it up where i have the flicker effect , i lock it down but when i video it goes away and does not record with a flicker effect , the recording is clear .
I am using this open Camera for my videos. And then when I edit them. I'm using Vita and for some reason. When I upload my videos to TH-cam. They are not full screen think I'll only be recorded. You know and the smaller video I can't explain it. How can I fix that? So they are full screen videos?
So great & helpful. For some reason, my yeti is no longer working with the app. It was before, but it stopped. I'm not sure what can be done.. if anyone can offer any helpful advice, I appreciate it.
No control on saturation and contrast? nice tuto thanks
Awesome video, I have a question Would this app allow me to while recording send the recorded material simultaneously to an External Screen without the GUI? If not do you know of such an app. Thank you.
Thank you SO MUCH, very helpful as always,👍😊
You're welcome - so glad it helped 🙏
Wonderful video just loved I really need this video a lot love you so much from india
Thanks Harika! 😀
🗣Crazy how much valuable information you give here yet only have 1900 likes with 100k views 😔
Thank you for this video Justin. Is there a setting in Open Camera to enable audio output in surround sound or surround sound emulation? I have an Android (Note 8) smart phone. Recording video with the on board camera app does facilitate this, but it seems like default settings in Open Camera does not. I poked around in settings and found nothing. Video Settings / Audio Channels does offer default, mono, and stereo. Actually trying default or mono did produce sound in my 2 rear speakers, but volume was very low and seemed to come with a little distortion. Any ideas? Thanks again!
Thank you. Was very helpful.
You can adjust the white balance with a slider, in manual mode. And you forgot about flat log modes for post processing video, i think is very important if you want to color control your video
Good points 👍 👍
