camera video mode bit rate and resolution
Currently seems to only have resolution and jpeg encoding compression settings.
Phone camera apps usually allow you to select which resolution, the resolution is hardware encoded by the camera module so only a few specific resolutions are usually supported.. but please list them and allow to select. Generally you'll have a few options like 1:1 and "full video" which does some weird size.. but majority of the settings will be 16:9 which are hardware supported and things like:
- 1280x720
- 1920x1080
- 1920x1080 60fps
- 2560x1440 (rarer than the others)
- 3840x2160
Older samsung phone camera apps allowed selecting the bit rate as well, which is very handy. Certain apps have file size limits so setting your phone to do 500kbps massively decreases the video size... generally the bitrate in phones is far overkill since their lenses are literal trash, so you end up with massive file sizes. But I'd like several minute videos being kept only several megabytes to make it easier to share. Newer phone camera apps seem to have thrown this idea out completely, even though services online still have the same size limits. There are probably some other apps on the store that have these settings, but none on f-droid do and virtually no "default cameras" do anymore.
Thanks!
