IPhone 3GS video camera review

http://www.camcorderinfo.com has posted a review of the iPhone's video camera capabilities. This site usually reviews consumer and pro-sumer video cams. The iPhone review is interesting.

Let's see if they can cram a 10x image stabilized zoom lens into this baby
As it is, it pretty much will do what the regular Flip will do at $150 or so. Quite a deal for those who want that capability. I'm sure I will because I have it (my regular bells-and-whistles camcorder never goes anywhere anymore).

Why is my iPhone 4S Video Camera Changing Frame Rates?

I've been doing some video tests with my iPhone 4S and I've found that in low lighting situations it's recording video at 24fps instead of the advertised 30fps. In good lighting conditions it's recording at 30fps. It's obvious the camera is compensating for the light with the lower frame rate, however, when I got into iMovie or Quicktime Pro to cut together some footage, the two different frame rates are causing an issue because they aren't consistent. The footage gets jerky and there's audio clicks. None of this happens when they're played individually. Please advise.
ps I downloaded some other video camera apps and even ones that will lock you in at 30fps will still record at 24fps in low light situations, so it has to do with the Phone. Anyone know a workaround for this? Thanks!

You can zoom before you start taking a video, but not after you start the video. Sorry.

Problem with iPhone 3GS's camera (iOS 5.1)

I have recently updated my iPhone 3GS, but I have one problem now, the Camera doesn't work. I can open and see by the camera, but I can't take a picture, because when I try, the iPhone get turned off. Can enybody help me??

That is strange and isn't supposed to happen. Try Restoring it using iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Merging Iphone and Video camera footage in correct order?

Is there an easy way to get footage from my iphone and my video camera onto Imovie in the correct date?

Well that seems rather pedestrian...
BaDumPum!
Thanks... I'm here all week....

3gs video camera

just curious will video created on iphone automatically sync to imovie like the pics sync to iphoto?

Based on the info provided with this link, videos captured by the iPhone will be imported by iPhoto.
You can follow this by using iMovie to import a movie from iPhoto since all the iLife apps are integrated.

IPhone 3GS Video Storage?

Does anyone know where the iPhones recorded videos get stored? I can't find them anywhere...

Nope. I just checked the camera roll in the pictures app... Nothing.

Error loading iphone 3gs digital camera driver windows vista

I recently received an Iphone 3gs and it used to work when I would plug it in to my Win Vista pc. I know, I know. Vista isn't that bad. I digress. I can not get the digital camera to load anymore. I get the standard answer. Could not load software. I need a download to get this going. HELP!

Have you installed iTunes? The camera driver gets installed as part of the package.

How do I get iPhone 3GS videos to automatically sync t Apple TV?

How can I get the 3Gs video clips automatically to my Apple TV? They seem to just import in to iPhoto, but I'm not sure how to get them from there in to iTunes (Movies) automatically.
Do I need to manually drag them in to iTunes each time I have a new clip?

OK thanks - was just hoping that there'd be a slicker way of doing this.
Like an "automatically import videos into to itunes"-checkbox in iPhoto or something.

What with this iphone 3gs video

hi
the 2g iphone did have video recording and now so does the 3gs, skipping the model i finally got (3g), but didnt they all have some what the same camera in each one? and is it not possible to make an app or update to make us 3g users happy???

hmm im currently in germany and a buddy has the 2G, and he was showing me a movie on it, in which i asked him if he can record videos. he said yes. crap. but the 3G should be able to do it, come on...voice recording...gps...and all the stuff developers are using the iphone componets and we cant get it to record??

IPhone 3GS Video Playback

My 3GS no longer plays tv shows or movies, that are SD. It syncs fine, and show appears in iPod Video tab, but "This movie could not be played" box appears even for shows I was able to watch a week ago. Any ideas?

Hi,
I've got something similar, where the picture will freeze for a fraction of a second every 3 seconds or so when watching a film with the Apple Composite cable accessory. Sounds minor but think when the camera pans over a scene and it judders like this - very annoying!
The weird bit: only does it with films (not music videos, nor TV programmes), only shows when playing on a TV through the composite cable (genuine accessory), and all appears fine when watching on iPhone screen itself, or on PC running iTunes. All had been downloaded from iTunes, so can't imagine it's the source material (think all of eight films doing it).
TV out correctly set to widescreen on, and PAL. I had wondered whether it was to do with scan rates, but I have no idea (secretly hoping there's something I've missed and involves ticking a checkbox).

No HD shows at 30 fps, what's the point of using an HD camera then?
Look, AppleTV is over two yeas old.
It's hardware is pretty basic.
If it was launched today I'm pretty certain it would handle 720p/1080i at a minimum at 30 fps, but it's old technology even for 2007.
It's a good device for what it does, bjut it's looking dated.
I bought my first HD camcorder in 2006, it uses DV tape, and probably seems quaint now, but when AppleTV was released HD was not commonly available to consumers.
Where would you get HD files to play on an AppleTV in 2007? A minority of consumers might have had HD camcorders but that was about it. Even if there was HD-DVD/BluRay availability there was no way to actually officially transfre discs to AppleTV.
DVDs are not HD even if you ripped them in contravention of the DMCA or other regional legislation.
So in essence you had a device that could connect via HDMI/component with an interface that could dislay up to 1080p for menus/photos, but content was not generally available much above SD quality.
The hardware is looking seriously dated now, but that's the way things go with technology/computing.
We need an AppleTv hardware update but until iTunes Store starts offering much more HD I don't think we'll see it as AppleTV hassimply become a window on iTunes store not a general media playback device.
There are far more media box options now, but none I know of has the simplicitty and elegance (I hate to say that as I dislike Take 2.0 meus intensely) that AppleTV has - things move quickly and I'd be delighted for someone to point me at a better alternative.
iTunes store only offered SD titles back then and initially you couldn't purchase in iTunes let alone via AppleTV.

Iphone 3gs Video calling function

How do I use the video calling function on the 3GS I was told by 02 customer service, that it's below the "call" button under options???????....how do I do this, obviously it needs to be a 3G phone receiving the call, and one that enables video calling....

I don't know about the slacking part. The iPhone's introduction got many cell phone manufacturers off their collective duffs - away from putting out pretty much the same old stuff year after year without seeing significant improvements. Phones in the smart phone category were primarily targeted at the enterprise or business market prior to the iPhone. Sales of phones in the smart phone category to consumers is on a significant rise due to the iPhone, and how many iPhone "killers" have we seen since? A bunch, which is a good thing.
Apple doesn't manufacture different iPhone models. There is one model at a time with the only difference being storage capacity or a black or white backing. Video calling may be used heavily in parts of Europe with a significant number of cell phones sold with the capability, but not so in the U.S. - not yet anyway.
I venture to say we will see this capability with the iPhone at some point. Maybe after LTE (4G) networks get rolled out in many parts of the world. The two largest carriers in the U.S. - Verizon and AT&T are in the process of rolling out an LTE (4G) network which won't be in place extensively for another 2 years or so.

IPhone 3GS - Video Capture during Phone Call

I just found out that iPhone disables making Videos when I'm on a call.
This really ***** - It lets me taking the photos, but no video option.
It can't be the processing power needed - as this is 3Gs and has lots of power under the hood
I know Video captures Audio as well in the movie - so what - it should still be able to make a video with the voice capture thru the Mic.
This is totally stupid of Apple. Video is a very useful feature and one of the reasons I paid $560 to upgrade and a bad implementation.

I Just ReRead This And It May Seem A Little Confusing. I Am Talking About The iPhone 4 NOT 4S

3gs video camera stalls.

The still camera works fine, but when I switch to the video and press record, the image stalls. I can only return to the main menu by pressing the navigation button.
Any ideas?

There are no settings you can change to change the audio. I did see this microphone you can plug into the iPhone a few days ago (http://shop.brando.com.hk/flexible-mini-capsule-microphone-for-iphone-3g-s_p0355 2c0202d033.html). I haven't ordered one yet, but will probably do so soon to see how it works.
