With your Android phone, you are able to capture and play video and be able to share these moments with your friends and family right from your cell phone while on the go. Whether you are a videographer or a videophile, capturing these moments is important and now you won't miss those important off the cuff moments.
Captures Video
The Android includes very full-bodied capture abilities to where you're only limited by the power of your built-in camera. Although it doesn't mean that there is going to be a complete HD experience on most of the devices your phone can serve the purpose of an apposite stand-in should you not have a camcorder or it simply is out of reach.
To shoot a video is quite easy. One merely has to launch the video camera application and then click on the small switch on the right hand of the screen and toggle to the video mode.
One must hold the cell phone horizontal when taking a video as there is no portrait mode with the Android cell phone. This might seem quite simple and straight forward to note but taking video with a cell phone is still new and many picture software applications can allow for rotation between landscape and portrait. However, with video this is not so.
To compensate for various lighting conditions, the camera's standard settings will suffice. If one desires, they can also do some fine tuning by fiddling with the settings options under the menu button.
There you're going to find options for:
* Adjusting the capture quality
* Video duration
* White balance
* Color effects
If you're planning on sharing your videos through MMS messaging you should be sure to shoot them in the low quality in order to ensure their small enough to actually be sent. Normally you will be shooting in higher quality which is something that will take up quite a bit of space.
Video durations:
* 30 seconds is good for MMS
* 10 minutes is the maximum length for a YouTube
* 30 minutes (pretty long video there ;))
If you are planning staying in just one place when shooting, you should set your white balance manually. Doing so you will allow you to fit the lighting of the natural environment you are shooting in.
Your various options:
* Incandescent lighting
* Daylight
* Fluorescent lighting
* Cloudy days
If you're someone that wants to get even fancier you can opt for some color effects through the application of a sepia tone, negative effect or even a colored tint into your footage. Honestly though if you want to be creative, truly creative, with your video you should simply export it to your PC and edit it and make your changes through a video editing program there. The results you'll get are going to be better and you're going to be able to get your footage without marring it in the original process.
When you're finally happy with all of the settings you simply need to press the red record button on the screen and start your video capture. When you're finished just press the same button again and save it to your SD Card.
