SCRIPT OF VIDEO:
Now, android phones are known for having the worst camera quality, and it has almost became a meme over the past recent years that if you have an android phone, your video quality is automatically bad, So, in response to that, I have a challenge for you. I have recorded 2 different video clips. One from my 5 year old android phone, and one from a cinema camera. Tell me if you notice a difference.
Did you notice a difference? So cam a was my samsung galaxy s10+, and cam b was the.... samsung galaxy s10+?
The reason why samsung phones are known for having terrible camera quality is because there are so many samsung devices, and there only are a very few number of iphones, and it is hard to optimize the app for each device, so samsung phones get a cookie cutter version of the app that goes on every device, and apple gets a version optimized for the device.
The reason why the built in camera app is not really good enough is because it does not allow you to really control the post processing of your video, and the bult in camera app adds in sharpness, noise reduction, and other post processing effects to try to "Improve" the look of your image, but then the video ends up looking very digital and not natural at all. This is why recording in 4k using the built in camera app still looks pretty bad, not only because of the added video processing, but because the video is still only recording in a lowly bitrate of 40 mbps, So, I began trying out different video camera apps, in hopes of removing the limitations of the built in camera app.
So, I made a video about motioncam right here. Basically, motioncam is an app that adds raw video functionality to your phone, and the pro version has more features over the free version like longer playback, and gpu acceleration, and because of the added features, I tried it out. But on my phone, motioncam pro actually ran worse than the free version. The exporting times were very slow, and this ultimately made me realize that first, experimental apps are not perfect, and second, recording in raw is not the only thing I can do to get good quality videos, so I looked for different apps.
Another app I found is called mcpro24fps, which costs about $23, and mcpro24fps is another prosumer camera app that allows you to get so much control over your video. It allows you to turn off different digital post processing effects like noise reduction and sharpness, and it allows you to record in 10 bit h.265 video recording at any bitrate you want, up to 500 mbps, which removes the burden of ultra high bitrate uncompressed raw videos, and it already allows you to get very good qualtiy videos, but what if you can get even better quality videos that normal?
After playing with low dynamic range videos, I have found that the highlights are being clipped by the sensor, but most of the time you cannot bring them down. Increasing the bit depth of the video can improve it a bit, but not by very much. But what about the shadows? Normally, shadows get crushed and when you try to bring them up, it seems like I am being limited by the bit depth of the video, but it seems like the sensor is still picking up data that is not properly being captured in the video. But, there is a feature in the app that allows you to add a brightness curve and bring up the darks before all the processing is added, increasing the percieved dynamic range of the video. I have discovered this myself, but I am sadly not the first one to discover it. It's a tactic called expose to the left which makes the shadows close enough as possible to the sensor noise floor. There are a few problems with this though, and the first problem is that you cannot increase the iso higher than the lowest that your camera supports because the noise floor of your sensor becomes too noticeable, and the 2nd problem is that you cannot turn on other post processing settings, because it will require the gpu in your phone which does not support higher bit depths, and it will look bad especially after lifting the darks on the sensor.
It looks pretty good, and I think that mcpro24fps is a very nice app to have on any android phone as it unlocks a very good amount of capability from your camera sensor, without making video files that easily take up gigabytes of space. There is no raw filming in this app, but it certainly is way better than recording with the built in camera app.
