Question Flickering Videos in Ultrawide Mode

[niko26]

Hi,

das anyone of you also experience flickering videos where the zoom mode kind of jumps quickly forth and back between ultrawide and regular mode?

Easiest way to reproduce:
1. Start camera app
2. Switch to "Camera"
3. Set zoom level to "0.7" (Ultrawide mode)
4. Now hold the trigger button pressed so that it not only takes a photo but instead captures a video
5. Stop recording
6. Playback recording.

Example - attached.

Anyone able to confirm or not to confirm this behavior?

Yes, I have this same. But wait until new Google camera app ver 8.5 will be realised and then check again.

Thanks for confirming. What makes you think that ver 8.5 will fix this issue?

does it only happen in this specific camera record mode? Did it happen before? Try another camera app (like Graphene Privacy Camera or MWP Gcam). also uninstall all updates for the google camera app, clear storage, restart, and test it again.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that was not my question or request

Have you tried it? Can you confirm it does (not) happen in your setup?
I have already a few users who have confirmed this and I am trying to get an idea of how widespread this issue occurs.

Btw, phone has been reinstalled already. It specifically happens in this mode only. That's why I have posted (hopefully) clear instructions about how to reproduce this issue.

Just installed ver 8.5 and tested. Looks like there is no more problem for me. Ver 8.5 is first version for Pixel 6a
